Amazing

As I shared yesterday I spent the morning with a friend visiting and confirming something that I must do. It was wonderful to be allowed to talk and realize on my own what needed to be done. She let me get it all off my chest and when I reached the point where I said I guess I need to....; she was like YES. Then we talked through just what and maybe how. See, she can only hold my hand up to a certain point. Now I have to walk through the door own my own. So last night just before I went to bed I read my Bible. I went to Proverbs 23 because that was the date. (I think it was 23, might have been 24. I rarely know what day it really is) Any how I went to reading, only to realize my brain was not focusing. So I prayed. God give me wisdom in knowing how and when to handle this situation. I know what needs to be done. Then I turned the page. OH. Boy. God really does know our hearts huh. The very next verse told me in very plain black and white just what had to be done. Not how to do it mind you, but what. It is a very common, often heard verse that I know all to well. But to read it right after I prayed that prayer. Well, let's just say Jesus gave me NO wiggle room.
So, today I will pray for strength and courage. It won't be horrible because He has proven that He is with me; I'm just thinking I'm going to have to eat a lot of crow. I also know that we reap what we sow. Had I done it the right way to begin with this thing that sits before me wouldn't even be there. Why oh why do I have to learn the hard way! On the other hand, thank you for allowing me to repent and change my ways. also, thank you for allowing friends to be there. why is it that I see God more clearly when I'm surrounded with friends?

I hope this makes a little sense to some one. My time is up. If you ever want to hold yourself to a computer time schedule go to the library.

Proverbs! Some of my favorites: 27:5, 6, & 17; and 18:24 all speak of the value of true friendships. The Lord gives us Christian friends to reflect His love in our lives, and non-Christian friends to find that reflection in us.

I'll pray for you as you follow through.

Love & Prayers, D.
