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.

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."

My, has Nana been a handful these past few months! But, oh, the memories I feel we shall all have (that we otherwise wouldn't) now that she's been here! I really think that this is going to continue to teach us so much... reality really seemed to butt into her this last week, and it's affected not only her own demeanor but that of the entire house. Through it all, the Lord has been reminding me that, no - Anna, no, you don't always know how to simply love . My life should be different from others because of the love in my heart, and my life has definitely needed more of it... as God is showing me! Showing me how to love Nana, and how to keep a heart of compassion, and the heart of gladness and servitude towards her and her needs. How to love Mama, as she struggles with not only the everyday needs of her household and homeschooling her handful of children, but her own mother's health issues - of all times, cancer! - and the strain on her and Nana's relationship b...
