Something strange…

First, as promised from yesterday morning – my weigh in results. I had a small gain from last month — but that brought me to my goal weight EXACTLY… so I am good to go for the month of December. My eating yesterday definitely showed the stress that I am under at work (I caved and went to Wendy’s for lunch… blamed it on my need for caffeine). Today is going to be better. I’m going to make it that way!!!

So onto the “something strange” that happened to me yesterday…

Yesterday I was working on my Bible memory project for church that I’m hoping to start up in the new year. Toward the end of this, I started looking up very random chapters of the Bible trying to “fill in” (for lack of a better phrase) my list of the alphabet.

Before I continue on with my story — let me say, while I *love* reading and spending time in the Bible and am familiar with many things within it, I by no means am a scholar and typically can’t find passages I’m looking for right away. I truly believe that’s why God created Bible Gateway. Seriously.

Well, I start by looking up “Colossians 3″ trying to find a verse that starts with the ones I’m still missing on my list. Didn’t find anything there, so I decide to move on to Ephesians… and choose chapter 5. Still nothing. But found a very interesting correlation between these 2 chapters. They both talk about marriage. Hmmmm…

Once again, I should back up a little. In the past week or two, I’ve told a number of people (as well as on this blog yesterday) that 1) I’m not going to start dating anyone during the holidays… it’s already a stressful time of the year, why add on to it – right? OR 2) I’m giving up on men altogether. I’m just not going to get married at all. It’s just not worth it.

The second of the 2 “decisions” was based on a number of interactions from guys/men in my life recently… and just don’t want to have that negativity or downward talk in my life on a regular basis. Because of this, I just swore off men altogether — it’s just not worth it when all you really want/need is a hug.

Anyway… so I’m finding it all a little bit “funny” to say the least that I accidently looked up these two passages… and wondering if God was behind it all along — speaking to me. After all, He is all-powerful, all-knowing, and everywhere. And for this one little moment in time, maybe -just maybe-He was right here by me… telling me to not make silly snap-judgement decisions once again.

I’m thinking God is laughing at me… and I’m not sure what’s going to happen here. All I know is that I’m looking out for a “brick from above” to hit me across the head one of these days. I’ve been asking for a sign as to what’s going to happen in my future… and maybe I’ve been ignoring it somehow.

At this point, I’m going to “keep on, keeping on” because I know that God will make himself known to me. Even if it is with an actual brick.
