Guiding Light
In my prayer meeting tonight, we were reading proverbs 16 and in verse 32 it states:
“Better a patient man than a warrior,
a man who controls his temper than one who takes a city. “
I am thinking about that now and I wonder about people sometimes. I have a friend going through a tug of war right now. He is one of the most patient and kind people I have met.
I also think about my job and dating situation and how patience and temper are so critical in each.
Another verse in Proverbs 16 is:
Commit your works to the LORD,
And your thoughts will be established.
Wow, that one hits home and the strange this is that I do this all the time. I can make choices; however, the key is to commit your actions to the Lord and He will establish your thoughts.
Right now, I am scared. First of all my relationships with men are very few and far in between and the last person to have dated (before R.) became a control freak and took advantage of me. Second, my passion is to design and art and music; I have loved doing all of these things my whole life.
Sometimes I just wish I knew what lays ahead of me; just so I know that I am doing the right thing. On the other hand, I am glad that I don’t know or shouldn’t have any idea of what is to come because it brings me to the present and also that I follow with faith with Jesus.
Faith is key here and it is so difficult not know what will happen. I will keep going and that is all that I can do.
Two more sleeps.
