Old Blogs

I was reading back over some old blogs today and found two that really stuck out in my mind so I am going to copy and paste them and then discuss at the end.

1. "For several years now, I have kept a journal of notes from church and prayers and such. I don't typically reflect on it as often as I should...mainly just while I am sitting in church waiting on the service to start. Well, today, I read back over something that I found interesting and felt like sharing with you guys. It was something I wrote on August 6, 2002...not too long after Jon and I broke up when my heart was still very much broken. What I wrote was: " I pray for the strength to hold my heart tighter and not give it away until is the man I am to marry. I pray for the patience to wait for your perfect timing in bringing that man into my life." I just find that so interesting that I would write that in the middle of heart break but I think it helps explain some things in my life. I have not had the opportunity to date much but maybe that is the reason. My heart is being guarded by God until he brings that man into my life that is the one he perfectly wills for me. I am still working on the patience in waiting for that man but I still have faith that God has him out there. In time, he will unguard my heart when he brings that man into my life."

2. "Is it not so interesting how sometimes God places you in the right place at the right time? Just an interesting thought that has been on my mind since last night. Some of you will know what I am talking about, others will not but just think about it in your own life. How many times were you at the right place at the right time? I fully believe God's timing is perfect. If we wait on him to guide our lives he will orchestrate the daily happenings and the grand events. God is the composer that writes the score of life and the director that tells how to play it. If we try to direct it ourselves, we end up unhappy. I don't know right now how the score of my life will play out but I am very excited to play the music God is writing."

Both of the blogs were written in 2006-2007. I just find them interesting because both have been thoughts on my mind lately. It's funny how God brings things to your mind over and over. It's like he has a particular message for me that he wants to make sure I hear and take to heart. Anyway, just thought I would share those thoughts.
