Waiting at Dr.'s office, water to boil, paint to dry...

What do these activities have in common? They are all things more exciting that Leviticus and Numbers. I'm in summer school and decided to read a bit. I read Leviticus and 18 chapters in Numbers. I will be glad to get past the hard headed Tribes of Abraham. They have a lot in common with my summer school kids. They whine, complain and give up easily. I'll give it to the tribes, they will repent and change for a while. Of course, if I could stone or burn one or more of my slackers, it would encourage the others to modify their behavior as well.

Bryson had his lip surgery yesterday and is doing okay. There is some swelling but it looks better. He had some questions about why God made him that way. I really did not have an answer except that God has a reason. I told him that bad things come into our lives for a reason, we just do not always know the reasons right now. I don't think it helped but that was all I had. I still have many of those kinds of questions myself. Still waiting to see...

Being the ancient of days and having grieved about insecurity, inferiority, and the ineptness of my life, I'm kinda thinking that maybe God wants me to know how desperately I need HIM to be my Security, my Ability, and my Success. I tried performance and it was exhausting because I could never do it perfectly. Bless His Name, along comes GRACE to show me that I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me! All of my imperfections are HIS opportunities to show WHO HE is and what HE can do in and through me if I am willing to respond to HIM out of a trusting heart. I am in process which is sometimes 2 steps forward and then 2 backward! Alot of answers are worked out on the anvil of trusting God but that doesn't stop me from asking because I like quick and easy answers!
