Timing

We talked in Bible study this week about how girls can go from zero to psycho in no time. Breaking up with someone turns into "Crap I'll be single the rest of my life!" overnight. And that job that we're miserable in is surely where we'll be buried when we die. When we have desires, they HAVE to be met or the world ends. I mean I get that way with the small things. My puppy knocks over my lamp and I claim she's from the devil and will never grow up or learn how to behave. Slow down crazy. More importantly, we looked at Galatians 4 this week. It's slam full of good stuff and we got off on verse 4: "BUT when the time had fully come, God sent his son, born of a woman, born under law, to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons." Before verse 4 it tells us how we used to be slaves to the law and stuff. And that magic word "BUT" means to keep reading because more important stuff comes after that. When the time fully comes, that's when God acts. He probably couldn't care less if it's what we had in mind, His idea is better. Just a sweet little reminder about God's provision. When I'm anxious, He's patient. He's so patient with me.

We're learning about being women of sound mind in our Bible study. Do you know "sound mind" literally means "sane?" And Titus says we need to be taught to be women of sound mind. I think that says a lot about our sinful state, yeah?

Mmm. Redemption is sweet.
