..of the clock, that is.
I enjoy some much needed time off this evening and tomorrow all day. I hope to get to WalMart and buy some sandles and a beach towel. I will need both for the upcoming summer camp. I may even buy some swim shorts too, if I can find something cool and cheap.
Last night I went to another beach and enjoyed the prescence of God some more. I watched a troubled sky and just talked with my Father. This I have learned: deep struggles are no respecters of circumstances. Some things come about when you don’t want to deal with them. I am getting ready for summer camp and little kids that need God, but at the same time is dealing with some struggles between myself and the Almighty. Even though I eventually always lose, somehow I need to fight to let go. Like Jake wrestling with the Angel, the struggle is close and personal. It is only before the day dawns that He touches my hip and asks me to give up. I grit my teeth and refuse unless He blesses. He reminds me that I deserve no blessing, but that obedience brings the greatest of rewards. And being the Big God He is, He blesses anyway.
So I am learning and growing, even on the verge of a great challenge. Thanks to all you who are praying and thinking of me, especially the angel with buzzing wings.
~Peace~
