So, I was doing some light reading this morning in the book of Jeremiah, and I had the realization of something. Kind of an ‘aha moment.’ God knows more than I do. I know, right? Pretty basic stuff. I’ve always known that. But sometimes when you see it in black and white, the revelation of that gets a little bigger and your faith grows a bit more and you stand back and say, “Aha!”

When it gets worse…
Have you ever been waiting for God to move, waiting for an answer to prayer, standing on a promise, only to have things get worse instead of better? Have you ever gone through something and thought, “Lord, You said Your plans are to prosper me and not to harm me, but I sure don’t see that here. This hurt me. What were you thinking? Where were You?” Yeah, me too. So, what do you do when it gets worse?
Do you know what today is?
I’m sitting in my new comfy chair under blankets with my tea watching the first real snowfall of the year with my dog curled up next to me….and remembering. Today is a special day. For me anyway.

Do you daydream?
Did you ever daydream as a kid? I wanted to be an Olympic gymnast (Nadia Comaneci to be exact). Or a princess.

(Ummm…I don’t surf…but it didn’t have to be realistic, right?) A daydream is a series of pleasant thoughts that distract one’s attention away from the present. And usually – in the natural – it’s more of a wish. Something we wished would happen but isn’t likely to. I still daydream, but I do it a little differently these days.
It’s too late, Lord!
Have you ever set your expectation on something and got so excited about it…and then it didn’t happen quite like you thought? Or when you thought? Or how you thought? What do we do when He’s too late?
