Oh, so Criminal

I dearly love a good book, but I've realized something. As much as all girls love traipsing off into fantasy land, dreaming of a knight in shining armor and kisses that knock you to your toes..... They're not too good for emotional health. Discontentedness is a crime in my mind, and I can't count how many times I've been the criminal. And how wrong too, when so many others don't have what I have and long for even just a slice of the pie I eat generously from.(Speaking of life in general and wealth, not knights in shining armor;))

Girls are prone to long for men to fill the void in their souls, and dreamers even more so. I read an interesting tidbit on the lazy afternoon that made me think. I don't know about you, but I'm in the habit of pushing into things that are better left off brought about by God's sweet, slow timing. The comment that made me think was that girls too often try to find Mr. Right and in so doing, waste their years, not accomplishing what they could be. Not fulfilling the desires and goals God has placed in their hearts for just such a season. I don't want to be like that. I don't want to be a waster of time. I've done it before, and it always brings regret. When I move back to the States I want to do the things that God has laid on my heart to do. And not worry about the things I dearly love worrying about.

God keeps reminding me to trust Him. And I'm learning that although life is never safe, it's always worth it. If you're having trouble, take heart, Dear One. There's always one above, loving, cheering, and singing over us.
