Adam and Eve were created in a perfect world.  Everything was exactly the way God wanted it... everything was within His will.  All was good.  But Adam and Eve chose to fight against the authority wall between God and man, choosing man's will over God's (thinking they would be happiest), and... well, where did that take them?  Somewhere better?  To a happier place, one that satisfied them and gave them joy?  No.  It lead them away from God.  Their decision to ignore God's plan to follow their own lead them to disappointment and so so much more.  It affected their entire lives, and every life that followed after them until today - centuries later!

I don't want just a Christian guy.  I want a Godly man.  And the only way to get that is to trust in GOD'S will, and to wait for the one He's perfectly chosen for me.  Adam and Eve's story, as discouraging as it could be, in some way... yes, it encourages me.  He's not holding good things from me, as much as the devil tries to whisper into my ear that I need something different or "better" to be happy.  It reminds me that God's plans are always perfect (by now we know that what we think isn't very reliable right?), and they're far better than anything I could think up.  It reminds me that He knows best.  As I just trust Him to bring along a guy who loves Him more than me, who desires purity and truth, living the Word out, who embraces the calling of manhood that God has given Him, and who prays for me.

In fact, not only that... It encourages me to trust HIM to the lead the way in all areas of my life. Could use a little more trust in more than one area of my life, no? ;-)

you. are. worthy.

“God is God. … He is worthy of my worship and my service. I will find rest nowhere but in His will, and that will is … unspeakably beyond my largest notions of what He is up to.”

Charles Spurgeon, on 2 Timothy 1:9... "Those whom the Saviour saved on the cross are in due time effectively called by the power of God the Holy Spirit to holiness. They leave their sins, and they endeavor to be like Christ. They choose holiness, not out of any compulsion, but from the influence of a new nature, which leads them to     rejoice in holiness       just as naturally    as before they delighted in sin. God neither chose them nor called them because they were holy, but He called them so that they might be holy, and holiness is the beauty produced by His workmanship in them. The Christlike qualities that we see in a believer are as much the work of God as the Atonement itself.  Thus the fullness of the grace of God is brought out very sweetly... The believer's privilege is a present salvation; the evidence that he is called to it is his holy life."

I haven't a voice the past three days (which said days included new years at the Robinetts - I talked zilch, laughed too much =P).  Yes, yes... I have a cold.  I've learned a couple things after losing (and somehow maintaining the fact) this voice of mine: 1) I talk more often than I should.  My lack of being able to express myself has shown me how often I shouldn't. 2) I need to think more before I express myself.  I tend to throw so much out there, speaking my mind when others may just (gasp!) actually not want to hear it.  Humility, Anna dear.  3)  I'm really grateful I have a voice.  When I do have one, of course. My thought process right now: 1) I need to go do something useful and worthwile. 2)  I need to be journaling here more often... cause I've gotten way out of the habit, and I have sooo many thoughts I want to write down every morning I read during devotions.  I need to make this a bigger and better priority in my life than...
