Praising You this morning for the word, for lonnnng weekends, for authors who write word pictures that inspire.

It’s the 5th of July…..
I am reading Hosea……..
I am reading So I Go Now and Jeff talks about the 4th and ‘getting it’…..

This morning I get it BUT…….

I don’t want to live in the BUT…..

Hosea 4: ……. stubborn as a mule. How can God lead him like a lamb to open pasture?
Like a lamb being led. …..
Like a lamb being led.......trusting the Shepherd…….

Childlike……..how to live in THAT. Trying last nite to give Emma a 4th to remember BUT she went into a ‘melt down’ wanting what she wanted, not trusting her Momma and Daddy in what they were trying to give her……

I AM EMMA……You are my Momma and Daddy, YOU know what I NEED BUT I childishly try to convince you....
I am a sheep in need of a shepherd BUT like a stubborn mule I refuse to follow, to be led….

I don’t want to live in the BUT…..

So I am going to shower….I am going to dress for WORK….I am going to try to ‘be still and KNOW THAT YOU ARE GOD…….and maybe……perhaps……. that is all that I need to do for now……Praising YOU for Jesus.......
