Colossians~ss day three on this book

FrUsTrAtIoN!!! Ok, I know that I have no room to be frustrated. Ok, I know that God gave me this job. Ok, I know that I need to quit thinking it is mine. Ok, Ok, Ok, OK!! Now that I got all that out, just short of a scream... Heavenly Father, how do you keep from losing your mind. I have gobbled up this book. I have consumed it verse by verse and I am feeling like a race horse in the starting gate and I cannot go. I cannot get anyone to race with me. I am exploding inside! Why are they so slow to get out of the stable? Why are they so slow? Oh oH oh ooohhh, they are still on milk... oh, Father, forgive me... I am about to explode and they are not beyond the crawling stage, supping on m.i.l.k! Today I thought (I planned) that we should finish chapter 1 and on to chapter 2. Next week will be week #4 and we are on QUESTION 4 - of the introduction - chapter 1 - in the study book. We have not even begun to tackle the verses... But we did actually read the entire book of Colossians, because I know that there are those who had not even done that (it is so hard to believe that), but we read person by person and out of different translations... so that is progress. "Why are you in such a hurry?" says God. Yes, why, why, why??? I guess because I know what beauty it holds. I know how wonderful it is, like a chocolate that is too good to hold in your mouth, but to gobble down looking for the second one to savor! God's word, words to live by, words that I can hardly contain within my heart, within my soul! Ok, I get it, I get that it IS Your word and few of these beautiful people have ever been in a study that requires them to grow in a way that will capitalize on Jesus and His Grace and His goodness. All about You Dear Jesus! I guess in my anticipation of time drawing rapidly to a close, I want to know they are prepared, "And I don't?" Forgive me Dear God. I am running willy nilly. Oh forgive me! Keep me within Your boundaries. Keep me with my eyes on you, keep me...keep me...keep me~

Welcome to you Beth!

I have invited a friend, Beth, to follow my silly-ness!! Welcome to the journee... Beth, I have to say I am not as prompt about adding information to this blog as I would like, but I will try to do better. I know you are interested in my life and what we are studying. I will do my best to keep it up. I am excited for you to make comments. I have only told Jennifer about this site, so you and I are pretty much the only ones to trek in this territory. [My mind pictures a vast wilderness depicting my thoughts...empty-ness...sheer nothing-ness : )]It is not often a territory of pictures, but I did add one of Jenn and Josh as they were heading to their honeymoon. Aren't they an attractive couple? It would really be good if I at least got my immediate family on here. And, I have never once mentioned the newest addition to our family tree, little fruit Jude. Anyhow, WELCOME!
