Here's the thing. I have little to no outlet for some of the thoughts that run through me lately--- and the way my mind works, my thoughts want to be written out. So, I may sometimes indulge in posting these ideas now and again. This will not become the personal diary of Dana. And I'm sure that sooner than I can even guess, I will be embarrassed by the simplicity of my own thinking exposed here. But by God's grace, and by holding my own thinking up to his Word, I hope to recognize that He is growing me in wisdom. I don't believe wisdom is necessarily complex, but many times inscribed boldly in the obvious, brightly flashing before tightly shut eyes, and screaming into ears stuffed full with desires.
So, I'll call it "A Simple Thought." And I may be the only one who reads them, but that's perfectly fine too. Writing helps us all to think a little more clearly, so if you don't have a place to write your thoughts, maybe you should create one too. If nothing else, it's an exercise in humility. Because there will always be a day when we look back at the shortcomings of our own words. Praise God -- For His Word never fails. Every Word proves true. It is sure and makes wise the simple. (Psalm 19:7)
Simple thought - interesting. Persevering in good times is sometimes difficult for me. In looking forward to retirement, I am concerned with how I will use my time, as I am not very self-disciplined. I am praying for direction and discipline in the days ahead. The next season is coming quickly and I don't have a firm plan for it. I sometimes fear the unknown too much, but I know the One who knows what the future holds and I am trusting Him to guide me every step of the way -- all the way to eternity. Praise the Lord!
