Zoe is 10 today. I am taking her, Jessie, and 3 pals to the Hannah Montana 3D movie on Saturday. Oh joy. No, I am not looking forward to it. I got her all excited about it, because, duh, 10 year old girls like the chick. And then I find out that tickets are 15.00 instead of 7.50 cuz of the 3D. Sheesh!!!!
I asked God if He could break off just a chunk of my eternal reward that I could enjoy NOW, if there could be some prosperity and easier times around the corner. I was talking to him on my way home from work, in the dark, wee hours, as I often do. I asked Him if I whined too much, and what he looked like, and was he in the car with me, and could he say something, anything, to me. I told him I really looked forward to seeing him someday, and how was my mansion coming along. That I don't really deserve or need a mansion. That just to BE THERE, safe, in a beautiful, peaceful, perfect environment, where HE WAS, and where there was no worry or extreme fatigue, or sin, or ugliness, would be worth SO MUCH!!!! Does anyone else have outrageous conversations like these at Jesus? I really want him to like me. I hope I make him smile sometimes.

There's no doubt in my mind that Jesus likes you. I think He smiles when He sees you putting one foot in front of the other, persevering when things are hard. I think He smiles when you do fun things with your kids. I think He loves it when you have funny little conversations with Him. Nothing surprises Him, and He knows the hardships you face. He's there and He cares more deeply than you can ever realize. Heaven's gonna be GREAT!
Lori - my car is my talking place w/ Jesus, too! He made us to have emotions, and I don't think He takes it personally when those emotions come out when we're talking w/ Him.
And I completely support asking for glimpses of a purpose... glimpses of why we're stuck in the stage of life that we're in... glimpses of what amazing things are to come!
Big hug to you!
Wow, thanks for the love, Jill and Linds! :D
Glimpses of purpose, Linds, I like that.
I haven't said it in a long time, Lori, but I'm pretty sure we're soulmates. Soul sistah's, if you will.
Keep on doin' what yer doing', man. I'm pretty sure you're getting smiles.
Love you, Janelle...wish we could get together!
