Normal. Yeah right. What is Normal anyways? it seem just as you are about to get used to things up pops change and off you go again. Oh well the Lord never puts us through useless struggles.
He is still good even when we aren't,
He still loves us when we are unlovable,
He is still faithful when we are unfaithful.
It just doesn't make sense.
My mind cannot comprehend it.
Mom and Dad are returning from their trip to Mexico tomorrow. I can't wait! Running a household is fun but this 17 year old is not meant to raise 4 younger siblings. But its been good. The Lord has richly blessed us with a Church family that cares. we've gotten about 3 meals brought to us. and this morning at our ladies breakfast I got special "good morning"s and "how are you"s I felt special.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Here is Love
Here is love, vast as the ocean,
Loving-kindness as the flood,
When the Prince of Life, our Ransom,
Shed for us His precious blood.
Who His love will not remember?
Who can cease to sing His praise?
He can never be forgotten,
Throughout Heav’n’s eternal days.
On the mount of crucifixion,
Fountains opened deep and wide;
Through the floodgates of God’s mercy
Flowed a vast and gracious tide.
Grace and love, like mighty rivers,
Poured incessant from above,
And Heav’n’s peace and perfect justice
Kissed a guilty world in love.
Let me all Thy love accepting,
Love Thee, ever all my days;
Let me seek Thy kingdom only
And my life be to Thy praise;
Thou alone shalt be my glory,
Nothing in the world I see.
Thou hast cleansed and sanctified me,
Thou Thyself hast set me free.
In Thy truth Thou dost direct me
By Thy Spirit through Thy Word;
And Thy grace my need is meeting,
As I trust in Thee, my Lord.
Of Thy fullness Thou art pouring
Thy great love and power on me,
Without measure, full and boundless,
Drawing out my heart to Thee.

Jake and Karen Reimer. That sounds weird. one weirder though is Mrs. Karen Reimer. But Thats what she is. The Wedding was beautiful and I had a lot of fun. I will post pictures once I get some good ones my sister Heidi has some on her xanga but they are pretty bad but hey their pictures.
My room. That is the weirdest of all. I've rearranging cleaning out decluttering and all that fun stuff. it looks/feels empty.
Dad & Mom left this morning for a two and a half (maybe three) week trip to Mexico with George & Aggie Heide. JP and Sherry are moving in for that time which is really nice these next few weeks are going to be fun.
What is Normal? The Dictionary says that it means:
"conforming to the standard or the common type; usual; not abnormal; regular; natural."
Life brings so many twists and turns I am having to constantly adjust to a new "normal" the Lord is continually reminding me that He is enough and whispering in my ear "Just trust me" which is so much harder than it sounds. we as human beings want to know how its all going to work out what we are going to encounter on the way. We want all the answers. Thats just now how God works though He wants us to Obey and Trust now and maybe understand and see the bigger picture later. The Lords ways are best.
I want to post the lyrics to a song I love but I need to get the CD from a friend yet but the Course says:
"So remove every idle 'till you're all I want and need.
Just the basics for survival, take it all until I see, Only You!"
It is a beautiful song. I'll get the rest of it up soon.
Well Blessings to each and every one of you.
And may the Lord reveal himself to you in a very real way.
