It has felt like forever since I last blogged, however there has not been that much to happen to me in the last ten days to really feel like forever ago....
Lately, I have just been in a the same routine...wake up late, do chores, hang around the house, read, go into work, get off late, go to bed even later, wake up and do it all over again....with minor differences depending on the day.
I have also been able to catch up on Season 3 of Chuck thanks to netflix...besides viewing that and So You Think You Can Dance reruns for entertainment, I have also been reading a lot more than usual. I know I was so excited to read Sun Stand Still, but a different book was given to me called Doing Things Right in Matters of the Heart....and I loved it, I finished it in less than a week (it was a small book, but seeing as how I don't love reading and have work, it took me a while to finish) The concepts in this book were awesome points of truth that God has laid out for both young or old females and males to follow by according to His purpose and design for each gender. Starting the book I had an idea of what I thought my role was, and what I should expect from any guy, but after reading I had a totally different perception. Unfortunately, recently...very recently my love life (if you would even call it that) has taken more of a step back than I thought it would, looks like 'that guy' will not be 'the one' unless God changes some hearts of ours. I believe God placed that book in front of me to see how things should look, how I should be treated, and how I should respond to all of it. I'm thankful for God's provision and wisdom (always could use more wisdom)
Next to Chuck, and reading I have really enjoyed spending time with myself...I've been complaining about it, but some days it really is nice to not have to worry about someone else or just to drive in silence to just think and pray, or to be in my room and look at the ceiling...I have a feeling that just as much as this is a 'dead' season, that there will soon be a very much 'alive' season needing a lot of my attention and time...so I'm trying to enjoy all of this time to think, prepare and relax. Needless to say, with all of this extra time I have kept up on my laundry and have been able to bounce back from being sick.
This verse came to my mind this morning as I was recalling how different things have changed and how much I feel as though it is a whirlwind and yet realizing God's faithfulness and acknowledging His perfect plan through it all.
" For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
a time to be born, and a time to die;a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal;a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh;a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to seek, and a time to lose;a time to keep, and a time to cast away; a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.
What gain has the worker from his toil? I have seen the business that God has given to the children of man to be busy with. He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. I perceived that there is nothing better for them than to be joyful and to do good as long as they live; also that everyone should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toil—this is God’s gift to man.
I perceived that whatever God does endures forever; nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it. "
[ Ecclesiastes 3:1-14 ]
