Lately, I have been pondering on God's love for us. The absolute craziness unfathomable thought that the God of the universe loves me.
I have been reading straight through the bible this year, something I have never done before. I am behind, but forging ahead, and am in Isaiah right now and this morning I was reading Isaiah 40-43. Isaiah 42:6-7
"I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness;
I will take hold of your hand.
I will keep you and will make you
to be a covenant for the people
and a light for the Gentiles,
to open eyes that are blind,
to free captives from prison
and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.
The Lord brought a lot of things to mind with these verses. The fact that lately he has been teaching me about how much freedom we have. The choice is ours. Every morning I wake up and have a decision to make, am I going to walk in the righteousness that the Lord has called me too? In a more practical sense, am I choosing to be a good wife to Daniel? This thought of choice has been plaguing my mind for many a week now. So much is depending on us choosing to love, to obey and to believe. What are you choosing today?

hi babe! thoughtfulness like that has been a rare occasion for me. today i chose to be a good wife, actually, but partly motivated by the guilt of letting weeks go by without cooking or cleaning anything, while my husband has been left to his 50 hr/wk job and cooking, and cleaning, and dishes while i go trapesing back and forth across the country. he is so thoughtful and that just makes me see my unthoughtfulness. boo.
