Lord, I am frustrated, it constantly feels like we are focusing on the wrong things. We seek to be united with a government that changes at the flick of a hat. I do not understand why. Are you not more important? And why do we seek aid when we cannot even handle the gifts we do have well? Would it not be better to look around us and minister to those around us than to go and argue amongst hypocrites and vipers? Maybe I speak too strongly but I do not understand why our church has any place there. Not when we have so much to do here.
If you are a dreamer, come in, If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar, A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer... If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire For we have some flax-golden tales to spin. Come in! Come in! -Shel Silverstein

Hope
You know that whole confidently asking thing? Like Your will be done but I know You are capable of this and if You will it You will let it happen thing? I’ve been asking the wrong way for too long. And this year the Lord has shown me that that is how things work over and over again. First snow, then a job, then a house. And it hit me that to get to Heaven, at the heart of hope, is this confidence. And if I wake up everyday and say if it be Your will, I know You will get me there, that it is also a form of trust. I know You can do it, Please do it. And I know it’s not Earth shattering or anything but for me it IS attitude changing. Now to keep doing it everyday.... 🙃
P.S. Here I was thinking it would be fun to post here again. And didn't read the previous post. Doodles is out of retirement!
