"Do not let my fickle flesh go to waste; As it keeps my heart and soul in its place; And I will love with urgency, but not with haste." //Mumford & Sons; Not with Haste Maybe sometimes I take your kindness and love for granted. Maybe sometimes I forget how difficult it is and much effort it takes. Maybe sometimes I should stop, look at how amazing you are and then count my blessings, each and every single one of them.
"Restore our fortunes, Lord, like streams in the Negev. Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy. Those who go out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with them." //Psalm 126:1-2 (NIV Version) And I'm still slowly learning all that there is to me, to you, to all that we are. Of the nooks, crannies and crevices where we put the things that are important to us. Of the pasts we've endured, the present things we struggle with, the future we're hoping for. Of learning to hope again and be secure in you and in God. I know we can only do the best we can with the pitfalls we've anticipated. But I choose to believe this time, it's different. This time, you've made the commitment and I entrust it to God. This time, we'll make it through. By your grace, we'll make it through.
"Trust in the Lord and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart." //Psalm 37:3-4 (NIV Version) Now it feels like the end of one part of a journey, the months when you were all that I had and it felt like the light at the end of the tunnel was far away and would never come. But God, you are good and your promises to your children hold true until the end. That at the end of all my waiting, there he was as you said he would be. And I know he's not perfect and neither am I. That there will be differences, that there will be dilemmas, that there will be difficulties along the way. But God you know us better than we know ourselves. And you are always in control. So I commit this into your hands and ask that you lead us and guide us. That as we make our announcements as we seek blessings, as we set our plans for the future, come and be in the centre of it all. Let all that we are, all that we do bring glory to your name. Thank you and thank you for your faithfulness towards me, there are no words that can express my love and gratitude towards you.
