I am up later then I want to be tonight. Waiting for the weekly bread batch to finally fill up their pans so I can bake them, cool them, wrap them and then go to bed... Staring at them and wishing them to 'rise already' wasn't helping... soooo
He just will not leave me alone... you know, just when you think 'phew that was a doozy of a lesson' and you sigh and sit back and BLAM! More to come, tears, joys, growth! It is a strenuous ride that I have chosen to be on with Jesus.Kneading bread is important to end up with a good batch of loaves. It is a process of pushing and pulling at the dough to get all the air out.
The Bible speaks of knowledge as something that can puff up or fill with air. Love is said to build up... one solid and the other... easily burst.We need to learn in order to love but if we spend all our time learning and knowing with out getting to the point, which is the loving, we will just be full of air.
Lately I feel a good kneading going on in my heart. Love is pushing out the old things I have learned that only puffed up and I am learning new things that establish love in my person all the more... love for others... Who really thinks it wise to wait till your death bed to realize LIFE IS RELATIONSHIPS? I personally don't want to waste my time and then sweat it when I look back. I want to be able to count many a relationship that I worked on, put into... loved into.
Looking and finding people NOT LIKE ME.
Going beyond my comfort zones with Christ as my guide.
Well good night, I think I shall nap with the timer by my head... to remind me to get up and finish the bread... this should teach me to always start my dough earlier in the day... you think I would learn... you would think...TTFN
