Psalm 119

We are keeping the GRANDS this week and while it is alot of work, more to our liking at 20 years of age rather than 50+ ...we are enjoying the heck out of the experience.
Today Papa is taking them to a Kids Rodeo and tomorrow we are taking them to a Pumpkin Patch. Last nite was McDonalds and a football game.
Gabes, imagine 12+ 3 year olds...a small football, flags and FUN. The very first play of the game Gabe was lined up on Offense the ball is 'snapped' the quarterback takes off running...TOUCH DOWN and both offensive and defensive lines are still standing there looking at each other. It was so much fun, even Emma and Millie enjoyed watching.
There is still alot of chaos around the drama from earlier this week and I hate calling it 'drama' but it is what it is I guess. Whenever things don't go the way we think they will or should the chaos that ensues becomes drama. You know this about us and love us still and if we can only figure out how to do the same with each other....love and extend and receive grace perhaps .....well perhaps in the processing of the drama, growth occurs and we all come to want what YOU want MORE than anything....
(msg) vs. 1 You're blessed when you stay on course, walking steadily on the road revealed by God......so we can't see the road until it's revealed at least when it comes to a chaotic drama filled one? We can know somewhat but we can't fully know until it is revealed by You and in the following, staying on course we learn to trust what we don't yet see.....
And then, then you read the rest of the psalm and see how far we are from where You wanted us, how far we go to what we want rather than ever even beginning to trust or look for what You want. And that You love us still and restore and redeem and .... guide all who know You to live like we do......

vs.169-176 Let my cry come right into your presence, God;provide me with the insight that comes only from your Word. Give my request your personal attention, rescue me on the terms of your promise. Let praise cascade off my lips; after all, you've taught me the truth about life! And let your promises ring from my tongue; every order you've given is right. Put your hand out and steady me since I've chosen to live by your counsel. I'm homesick, God, for your salvation; I love it when you show yourself! Invigorate my soul so I can praise you well, use your decrees to put iron in my soul. And should I wander off like a lost sheep—seek me! I'll recognize the sound of your voice.

So much of what we 'think' we see colors what is really there.........dealing with broken people how do we think we can ever see the truth....???
