From a Friend

"As you do not know what? is? the way the wind, Or? how the bones? grow? in the womb of her who is with child, So you do not know the works of God who makes everything."  Ecc 11:5 ( copied this from my message on my phone)

(Just as you do not know the path of the wind and how bones are formed in the womb of the pregnant woman, so you do not know the activity of God who makes all things.)

I'm  continuing to learn that we do not always have to know the intricate details of God's work to trust Him.  All I know is that He is good, and that's all I need to know.  Just thought I'd share a piece of my heart.  Have a good day. J.

I sit here reading the message over and over and what plays in my head is that God is good.  Its easy to sit here in slience as I have been doing for the last hour stewing over my frustrations with my husband.  Going downward with my thoughts as the hour goes by with each negative thought I can think of and allow a wall of bitterness to start taking form.

I don't want to be in a funk when I head to go take pictures of beautiufl people all dressed up enjoying the evening.  I don't want to look at happy couples and let a tear dwell on my eyelid as I smile with fake joy.  I don't like feeling or being that way.

So then after a few minutes of sitting here at my desk staring outside the window, I searched my messages on my phone and found Jamie's and began typing it out here, and as I did it caught me and won't let go now until I know that God is good.  I know it and I think it and I say it but I have to rekindle that hope that really truly knows it so that I can settle my heart back into peace and clear my mind of the negative nagging thoughts that do not do anyone any good.

Now I look out the window thankful for a friend like Jamie and her message that I read over quickly at the time but now living it.  Thank you Jamie.  Thank you Lord.  Thank you Lord for all the blessings and joys and happiness that you have given me and continue to give me because you are so good.
