That reminds me of part of my response to Jason's Point of View post (I responded just Monday, so I think it's too far back for anyone to see), when he was talking about the Godometer:
"I WANT ONE! WHERE DO I GET ONE! WHY DON'T I HAVE ONE YET? I feel like so many of the decisions I make, even after praying prolifically, are DEAD WRONG. I'm starting to think that maybe they're just decisions that lead me into really difficult lessons, but that difficulty doesn't make them wrong. It's possible that the only reason I'd do these things is because God leads me to them--I certainly wouldn't choose this type of schooling on my own."
I think God has to repeat Himself a lot before we notice, but we learn by repetition.
I'm doing alright here. Working--that's a plus. We moved into an apartment last weekend, and it's a tiny little one-bedroom thing that makes me feel like a newlywed with an oldywed's amount of stuff. I have to have a garage sale before the stuff forms an army and takes over! We're doing devotions each night, which is one of my favorite things--putting God in his right place in our marriage. Richard has gone off his medication, which terrifies me, so please pray. Apparently, he stopped taking them about 2 weeks before I found out, and it's been about a month now, so maybe God really is doing something. It's just a leap of faith that is very difficult for me to take. I'm praying that God will work it out His way and that whether he's healed or not, God will prepare us to deal with it. He (God) certainly seems to be doing something. Lot of God going on right now, it's kind of cool. I miss you guys terribly, though. Very grateful for the board.
