Today was quite a lesson in staying dependent on God. In the evening today I had a meeting that I was really looking forward to and I wanted to think about all through the day, wonder and imagine what it might be like. But God told me this morning, very firmly, that he didn't want me to think about it at all through the day. 'Alright,' I thought, 'I can do that.' Asking me to not think about certain things is something that God does rather often, and I thought I was getting pretty good at it. WRONG!! I realized very quickly that I couldn't do it, at all. All through the day I was praying for God to take the thoughts away and focusing on the present rather than the future--so on the grass I was walking on, the fact that my ears were cold and I really should have worn a hat, the heavy door, my hard seat.
So, thank You, God, for sticking with me through the day, and for Your patience, and for the strength You lent me!
