YHEA, IT'S FRIDAY~ (it will seem like tomorrow is Monday)

GRATEFUL FOR THE WEEKEND, BUT

"OH, DON'T THEY FLY BY"

(anyway, hope you have a wonderful weekend)

“Because I said so!”
I wonder if God ever wants to use that phrase with me?
I sometimes challenge His rules. Do not murder — check. Do not take the Lord’s Name in vain — got it. Honor your father and mother — OK. Do not gossip — hum, not even in the form of a prayer request? Do not lie — You mean, not ever? Do not envy — is this even possible? Other times I question His ways. Can’t You just feed the poor by making crops grow? Why do unbelieving drug addicts conceive babies, but my own girlfriend who follows You cannot? Why didn’t You give me more organizational skills if You were going to have me marry this man and do this job? Are you sure You got the formula right when You made me? God is infinitely more patient a parent than I, and He is abounding in grace and love. He can easily handle all my questions without exasperation. But I wonder if He wishes I would just simply trust and obey — just because He is God. I know I wish I would!
The scriptures say: “Do what your king commands; you gave a sacred oath of obedience. Don’t worryingly second-guess your orders or try to back out when the task is unpleasant. You’re serving his pleasure, not yours. The king has the last word. Who dares say to him, ‘What are you doing?’ Carrying out orders won’t hurt you a bit; the wise person obeys promptly and accurately.” (Ecclesiastes 8:2-5, MSG) I want to be that wise person. The Bible further assures me of His capable hands and creative purposes saying: “But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’ Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for common use?” (Romans 9:20-21, NIV)Yes, He certainly does. I want to be the fancy vase but I have to trust I will find the greatest joy when I accept the purposes He’s designed me for. So my goal today is not to question God but simply to trust and obey…even if I don’t understand why and even if it’s hard to do. I will accept the way that I am made and the plans that He has set before me. Yes, I know I can take all my questions to the Lord and He will lovingly sift through them, but today I want to obey His commands in swift, willing obedience — just because He said so.

11 Blondes, Enough Said! There were eleven people hanging onto a rope that came down from a plane way up in the sky. I don't know how they got there-it's a joke, OK?Of the eleven people, ten were blonde, and one was a brunette. As they swung there in terrible danger waiting to be rescued, the rope started to fray a bit. They all decided that one person should get off because if they didn't the rope would break and everyone would die.No one could decide who should go, so finally, after some serious soul-searching, the brunette gave a really touching speech saying how she would give up her life to save the others.It was so touching, in fact, that all of the blondes started clapping.

If Men Would Only Listen

A man is driving up a steep, narrow mountain road. A woman is driving down the same road.As they pass each other, the woman leans out of the window and yells, "PIG!!"The man immediately leans out of his window and replies, "WENCH!!"They each continue on their way, and as the man rounds the next corner, he crashes into a pig in the middle of the road.Oh, well. If only men would listen....
