Today is moving day. No, not to a new house or apartment. Not to another state or country. To a new cube. I have worked in the same company for almost 7 years. This is probably my tenth move. Crazy. At least my cube is next to a window. Meaning more blogs. My old cube had a keyboard tray. This new one does not. However, it does have a sliding pencil, pen and paper clip holder where my old tray would be. I keep pulling the tray out thinking my keyboard is there. A bit annoying until I catch on.
So I am listening to Jason Upton while I type. The song Faith is playing. My faith today is not in anything but that Jesus will provide, he is God. Burning, refining me to be more like him. Not to be a God (that's his place), but to know him, live for him, to be holy.
Random Thoughts:
-My hope is that men and women can live together as pure reflections of God creation. No shame, no fear, just freedom to pursue each other like we pursue him. Real life. Not perfect but redeemed by his grace. True friends in the kingdom of God.
-My hope is my daughter would be pure. Not only physically, but spiritually. I trust God in her life. She is a gift not my right. She belongs to God.
-My hope is that my future wife knows I am fighting for her. That's it's not easy doing that sometime, but God's timing is perfect. One of my favorite story in the Bible is of Jacob and Rachel. Jacob had to wait seven years before he could marry Rachel. But here's what it says: (Genesis 29)
"So Jacob served seven years to get Rachel, but they seemed like only a few days to him because of his love for her."
Shoot, I don't want to wait seven years, seven years from what time? I said to God three years ago, I would wait that long if it's his timing. Are we allowed to say, God I was kidding? But in my heart I would, I will. I will wait upon the Lord. Because I know when my wife and I finally get it, finding each other, it will be worth it. It will only seem like a few days. My heart says it's worth it.
