Proverbs 29; Mark 16

I think I'm going to continue blogging IF I say I don't write to be read why would I care that noone reads. I am going to stay blogging the reading plan and praying for input and people to read along with me.

Christmas was amazing.
Time with family beyond a blessing we expected, or feel remotely entitled to. We had EVERYONE at our home on Christmas eve....Santa for all to enjoy...
There were tears and laughter and so much joy along with a healthy amount of intropsection I think.

We had an engagement....he proposed right in front of all of us. Our prayer is they seek You.....

Proverbs 29: 18 If people can't see what God is doing,
they stumble all over themselves;
But when they attend to what he reveals,
they are most blessed.

vs.25 The fear of human opinion disables;
trusting in God protects you from that.

In the introspection there were some things said that I heard MORE than I hear You. I pray in 2009 to stop 'fighting what I hear' and seek to hear You and Your voice.... following that, living risky and reckless in that following.

and Mark 16: 1-3 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so they could embalm him. Very early on Sunday morning, as the sun rose, they went to the tomb. They worried out loud to each other, "Who will roll back the stone from the tomb for us?"
The Mary's soon to discover that it had been done...the stone rolled away and YOU resurrected....
In the introspection I can get caught up in not knowing what to do, forgetting You've done it all and now in a reckless life, just in the hearing, follow where You undoubtably lead....

I struggle with the same thoughts. No one reads this anyway, why write? But I write because, more than a conversation with my readers (I have a few...a lonely few...LOL), my blog is me conversing with God. Not directly, but in learning and being honest, I grow and I praise Him for everything I have today, everything He has taken from me, and everything He has laft me. I write because I cannot write. Your thoughts are beautiful and have blessed me today. Thank you.
