Back to the Future?

So, I think I'm going to try this blogging thing again. It seems to be catching on with everyone, so I feel like being a follower :)

About a year ago, an old friend sent this to me. It's been a really long time since I have ready it, but in light of my current "situation" it seems time for a refresher...

"Everyone longs to give themselves to someone, to have a deep soul relationship with another, to be loved thoroughly, and exclusively. But God says to a Christian, “No, not until you are satisfied, fulfilled, and content with being loved by Me alone. Discovering that only in Me is your satisfaction to be found, you will be capable of the perfect human relationship that I have planned for you. You will never be united with another until you are united with me; exclusive of anyone or anything else, exclusive of any other desires or longings.”“I want you to stop planning—stop wishing—and allow Me to give you the most thrilling, exciting plan you can imagine!!! I want you to have the best! Please allow Me to give it to you. You must keep watching Me, expecting the greatest things. Keep experiencing the satisfaction that I am! Keep listening and learning the things that I tell you.”“You just want, that’s all. But don’t be anxious. Don’t worry. Don’t look at things others have gotten or that I have given them. Don’t look at the things you think you want. You just keep looking off and way up to Me or you’ll miss what I want to show you.”“And then, when you are ready, I’ll surprise you with a love far more wonderful than anyone would ever dream of. You see, until you are ready, and until the one I have for you is ready; until you are both satisfied with Me and the life I have prepared for you, you won’t be able to experience the love that exemplifies your relationship with Me, and this is the perfect love. And, dear one, I want you to have this wonderful love. I want you to see in the flesh a picture of your everlasting union of beauty, perfection, and love that I offer you with Myself.”“Know that I love you utterly. I am God. Believe and be satisfied.”

So that's where I am. Today I heard some comforting words of wisdom that I've know all my life, but have recently forgotten. "Our stories make us who we are..." Praise God for the storms!!! I take comfort in the fact that God has guided me to this point in my life and pray trusting that His purpose will be fulfilled through this experience.

So how am I doing? GOD is good. period.

"And we know that in all things, God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. " Romans 8:28
