Wow...I've been listening to Beth Moore online today, while I enter in deposit amounts all the way from April of 2003. She's got some GREAT insight into the word. Here are a few of her quotes
"So much of our disappointment is because someone did not come through as God for us..."
HOW TRUE! I get frustrated/hurt/angry at people because they didn't act or didn't say the right thing at the right time....And because I was basing my worth and obtaining my validation for living from them, instead of God. Those truly are the most disappointing times in my life.
"Anything we have to manipulate to get--we will not keep..."
This is a universal truth...Can be used in almost every situtation. (especially if you're a girl cause we're really, really good a manipulation) It's easy and a lot of times I don't think I even recognize it...And when I do, I keep going.
Daddy--convict me of my sin....You are the controller of all things. I desire nothing in my hands except for what you desire for me. When I think I know what it is you want from me, and really it's just my own selfishness...show that to me as well. May my life change because I seek after you. You ARE my king, YOU give me worth, Your desire for me is greater than my what I want for myself, keep my eyes towards you, continue to make the things of earth pass away...may you receive all the glory, honor and power forever and ever---so be it...

Weddings and Boys
The wedding was BEAUTIFUL!!! I'm SO happy for Aaron and Kara. Such a wonderful picture of what sweet love looks like.
Usually when I'm at weddings I have a mental picture of who my husband will be. Not any specific person really, but still something...It's hard to explain. Anyway, it was the first time I didn't have any of that...I don't have any expectations of who he will be. Don't get me wrong, I know the main characteristics I cannot do without, but other than that....Nothing.
It's so freeing! To allow God total control...You'd think I'd realize this by now...Not so much. Oh the incredibly beauty of growing in knowledge and depth of insight!!

Hey Y'all,
Just thought I'd update the few of you who may not know yet. My brother was sentenced to a year in the county jail w/ school release so he can finish school. That's good. I was fairly upset because of all the injusitice that seems to surround the whole situtaition, then a friend reminded me that there were many unjustices with Jesus' trial as well. It was a GREAT reminder that it's not the end and the liars aren't winning, I just can't see that yet.
Tomorrow I'm leaving for a friends wedding in Oaklahoma. It's going to be a long car ride, but WAY fun. :) I'm so excited!
