2 Corinthians 4:18

Apparently God is loving this time of the year I'm in because He's using His words(and mine) and speaking it back to me at various times. Trust me when I say there are more blogs to come. Revelation from today, If God had wanted us to know the whole story, He'd have given us the puzzle box. If He wanted us to know in what order to play the pieces, He'd have given us the puzzle lid. See where I'm headed? Faith is asking Him why and when? and trusting Him when He doesn't always answer right away. Why oh why do we keep asking Him for the answers, when He just said keep walking. One day we'll learn;-) Other revelation from the day....why can't we trust ourselves as much as He does? I think we make Him sad when we doubt ourselves instead of listening to Him. You are YOU, not anyone else. You have love that only you can give and a job that only you can do. Other people may try to replace you, may try to do what you do, but you are the only one that has the heart for what He has called you to do, the place where He has you. Be thankful for those precious few God has placed in your life that add to you. The ones who let you be you without judging or always giving an opinion. The older I get the more I realize, those are few and far between.  
So on to the verse. This was on the way home(after I found out Posey's was open...Yep that was my Godsmile for the day:-)).

"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." -2 Corinthians 4:18

How many times do we focus only on what we can see (on today, the job right in front of us, the things that need to be done right now, Hello the to-do list) instead of keeping our eyes on what we can't see? The lesson God seems to have in the middle of this mess for us, that friendship that is always there regardless of how long has passed, that friend you can call(or text) whenever you need something, those relationships that make you who you are. We keep our eyes so focused on deadlines sometimes that we miss out on some pretty cool stops along the way. The journey is a process and those temporary things(deadlines, what others think,etc.) are just that temporary. Eventually they will be completed or will not matter in the end. Don't be so focused on what you have to do, that you forget to just be. Believe in yourself and remember He knows your heart and He has you right where you wants you.

Until next time
