So last night I had a headache and was just plum lazy. Lazy = laid on the couch with a blanket and played words with friends with my man.
So nothing to report from the homefront - just a lazy momma.
This morning quiet time was amazing. I felt led to journal in an old notebook. I hope that God uses that tool again to help me to remember. I have been meditating on His talk with me quite a bit this morning at work.
Isaiah 61:10
New Living Translation (NLT)
10 I am overwhelmed with joy in the Lord my God!
For he has dressed me with the clothing of salvation
and draped me in a robe of righteousness.
I am like a bridegroom in his wedding suit
or a bride with her jewels
I have a student assistant who is getting married in a few months and just yesterday we were talking about her wedding planning. She is excited and young and in love. She is on Pinterest pinning ideas for her perfect day. The day she walks down the aisle all dressed up for her man, who will sweep her off her feet.
I have been listening excitedly as she prepares. She is so young and so in love. I keep gently steering her away from the pitfalls of wedding planning to the focus of her actual marriage. But the draw of her wedding day is just so enticing. The clothes, the symbolizim, the anticipation, the simple expression of love.
Then this morning in my super sweet quiet time, the Lord gave me this passage. Oh, I still have the best wedding to be ready for. My dress is the gift of salvation, my robe is His righteousness. It brought to my heart that I need to be enticed and daydreaming and looking for ways to make that day - THE DAY. I may not be able to pin it on Pinterest but I can get my heart all ready and my attitude of hopeful, dreamy anticipation refreshed.
Thank you, Lord for being in the details of my conversations and for the Holy Spirt guiding me to what You want me to see. I love you, Jesus. I am so ready for our wedding day. The day that I am your bride for eternity and we all truly will live happily ever after.
