oh, what time can do

We sit side by side, neither of us bothering to even glance at the other. No words are spoken between us. I pause in my reading to consider the stranger next to me. I can feel his presence there. His body heat warms the cushion of the couch we share. The scent of his cologne is pleasant. His breathing is loud, likely the result of nasal congestion. Occasionally he will clear his throat and the harsh sound breaking the silence startles me. Who is this man and how did he come to sit next to me here? It seems I knew him once. A long time ago perhaps. Surely there was a time when we were not such strangers. There is something familiar about his raspy breath. That pleasant cologne stirs distant memories. Yes, I am sure I knew him once. Tentatively I glance over and for a second I catch a glimpse not of the stranger he is today, but of the man I fell in love with so many years ago. I see my husband.

Three Steps

I continue on with Bible study via the book Living So That and Proverbs 31 Ministries online Bible study. I really feel God called me to this study. I had no plans of beginning a study at the time I came across this study as I was already weeks into another one. Somehow He led me here and put the call on my heart to take part. I am seeing why more and more each day. I have gone further into His Word than ever before and am truly gaining wisdom. In the midst I this study is right where I needed to be in my journey right now. Oh how we are blessed when we take the time to listen to Him and respond to what He says! A recent "assignment" of the study asks us to share about certain topics. The one I chose to write about today is sharing three simple steps I take to combat the flesh and feed the spirit. First I want to share what areas I struggle the most with when it comes to fighting the flesh. For me it is sloth and gluttony. I am lazy. I fully admit it; I am a lazy person.
