Words of Wisdom

B.
This position is not open but I thought after looking at the job description it might give you ideas about what you might like to "do with  your life".  Maybe your life isn't about doing but living?
love you

I know that I have not been a faithful blogger, but sometimes I just do not know how to express myself. Or possibly it could be the fact that I'm afraid to express myself. I do not have a way with words, and what I try to say usually comes out wrong or is misinterpreted. That's why I'm a contemplative observer.  I'm not good at verbalizing, which leads to my nature of internalizing.

I know that many of my thoughts this year have been about change and hardship, and maybe some are sick of hearing about it but this is the season I am in. For the moment. This is a time of refinement. The purpose of which I am not sure, and where I will go from here only God knows. Praise the Lord for that. While I continue on this journey, I rest in the comfort and peace of the most Holy One.

"See, I have refined you, though not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction. For my own sake, for my own sake, I do this. How can I let myself be defamed? I will not yield my glory to another."
