Some random thoughts:
Thursday night. One of my girls came by my house to get my keys. Later she came back to ask for something to be warmed in the microwave. We chatted for a minute while she waited. When she left and I walked back down the hall I just thought “man. I just love my girls.” They aren’t all necessarily cuddly and snuggly and just all out cute like the little toddlers but each of them is beautiful. And I just love them.
The photo below is the story of my life here. Except I say “como?” Instead of “what” although I started off with “que?” But I’m trying to work out of saying that. But man oh man do I feel this way so often.
This Thursday morning I was met with a dilemma. My time to share bible study with my girls is on Thursday morning. All week I thought and prayed about it. Wednesday night I prayed about it. Thursday morning I woke up with nothing. The thoughts I had about the passage and what I had to share just didn’t seem to be what my girls needed to hear. So I relented. After I challenged my head girls last week to prepare for their bible studies! I came to the yard and asked if someone else would share. And as they began to share they called me out. Said I wasn’t prepared. (Well in part it was true). I guess Monday when I share I will explain that it wasn’t just I wasn’t prepared. But man is that hard to explain. So pray for what I PREPARE Monday. (Haha). I’m chewing on some stuff from Moses life. Just trying to listen to The Lord to know what to say about it exactly…
Just needed to share that tidbit with you least you leave me on some sort of pedestal somewhere. Ha The Girl Scout in me is limping right now. But I would rather not share than feel unprepared or like I’m just talking to fill space.
And answer to prayer- The Lord has sorted out one of the issues with a head girl for now. Things seem less reactive and less angry. Praying for a couple other changes coming down the road. That The Lord would prepare hearts and servant leaders that will come next.
And Auburn football starts today. (Saturday…obviously) From what I have heard. I will confess I get caught up in the game if I am there or watching on tv. It’s just in my nature. But I will also say for the most part I don’t care if I’m not there. It’s just football. But reading the posts and the comments already today I can gladly say I love Auburn because its my school. And because it does feel like family. Today I join you,my Auburn family, from a distance. I say #WarEagleEveryday in light of eternal things. And I say everyday because I hate when we lose (and boy did we do some losing last year) and someone says “War Eagle Anyway” it just sounds a tad defeated. Haha so tailgate and yell and Waaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrr Eagle for me today. But remember there’s more to life than football and Jesus does reign victorious even if your football team isn’t. 🙂
It’s 10:35pm. Second night in a row I have just been awake. Last night til after 12. Trying to pray with my awake time. And not just fill the space with talking,but listening. And it seems really quiet. Just continually lifting some of my peeps up to The Lord. And the stillness. It just makes me restless. I’m so awake. And waiting. And wide awake. Ha
And last thought of the day- I am one of the most boring people on the entire planet. Did very little today in my day off. I even bored myself. Looking forward to the next two days with my girlies. Then some time with my US #village peeps and seeing up close what God has in store for Special K. Probably wont post again Until on the northern side.
Grateful for your partnership in the gospel. And encouraging my random sometimes foolish heart. Blessed. So blessed.
Be His.
