It's hitting me (again) that the answer to my frustration & tiredness & uncertainties in life is: "Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him ... Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him" Psalm 37
I was going to write "simply" before the quote - but it would be too ironic & shameful - is it hard? Or is it simple & i'm just a slow learner?!!
One thing i love about God that the church hasn't always presented well in it's moments of Judging others - God is gracious & patient & loving - my not meeting his instructions is hurting me - and that hurts him!! My love drives me, to learn this, to not allow his grace to be abused
Thank you Father, i'm stumbling in your direction, please do not retract your loving Hand from me ...

Busyness - a curse in a Godly disguise
well well, we are now into March & i feel much more like roadkill than i did in january!! Been looking at my blog to see if there were any new comments - thinking to myself, must stop soon & write something - but not now, too busy, too tired!! Seems to be common - i've been watching my mates blogs for the last couple of months - no blogs...
Helped a mate move last weekend - into a small beach town, he wondered how much of our busyness is due to the city lifestyle!? Must admit, the beach was nice...
Had a chance to help another mate move this weekend, but realised we'd kill ourselves getting away from the busyness to help others!! ironic aye!!
Gotta confess, my good goals for bible in a year have already fallen over!!
cry of my heart at the moment is to learn to pray & to listen (& to read God's Word) at a personal level. Gotta get real with Jesus, know him as my nearest love/buddy/confidante - because the truth is - HE IS!!!
Gotta learn to slow down, be still & know him, relesase my burdens to his broad shoulders
Lead me on LORD - i can only stumble as a blind man with one hand still holding the vices that keep me from you - as 'good' & "christian' as some of them may seem!!
