5 thoughts, one long post.

I have about 3-5 blog posts in my head right now. I am floating with thoughts. 

Today was my first "off"day without Katie. I have been convicted about my thoughts of fleeing camp, I read some good stuff on God speaking to us (and some I don't understand) I painted a cute dinosaur for a b-day party, and have been thinking about Skip a lot. As I wrote this intro, I think I'm going to make this a long blog and cover it all. Okay, here we go!

1. First off day without Katie.

Its really sad and hard. I don't like going to town by myself. I like being with her and spending time together. I am going to have a really hard time going and being solo.as well as being at my house so much. 

2.Convicted of my thoughts about fleeing camp. 

I read this: 

This describes me to a T. This is how I felt all summer and this fall. I need to focus on God and Him alone. And not let my self get in the way. 

3. Read some good stuff on God speaking to us. 

Also in "Experiencing God" I read this paragraph that says:

"Once we know we've heard God, we can proceed with absolute confidence, even if we can't see how things will work out. God always stand by his word. (page 131) 

This is so comforting about Skip for me. I don't know how it's going to work out. But I know that it will because The Lord spoke. 

A few lines later the book says

"The verifification of Gods message is that what a person hears becomes a reality"

I HATE this sentence. It makes this waiting period SO CONFUSING! I know that this book isn't the word of God, I wish though, it was more clear of how to move forward. Which I know the answer to that. I need to love The Lord first and be so close to him his will will be in my heart and my actions will all come from him. And that is how I need to pray and move forward. 

4. Look at my dinosaur painting:  

It's for my bosses son 10th birthday party. I made it out of tag board. Really easy and cheap. Once the whole banner is done I will show you all. 

5. Thinking of Skip

Even though I don't blog about him a lot, I have been thinking a lot about Skip. I need to figure out how to pray for him and how The Lord wants me to come before him in this situation. 

Those are all my snippet thoughts for the night. 

Thanks for reading!
