Well here I go several months later picking up where I left off. Like a long neglected relationship. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. I'm actually in hopes that the relationship I have with my blog will work out. Pondering the word "loyalty" these days and finding examples of it within my own relationships with people. Searching the word out in the scriptures, finding of examples of it. Jesus calls us his friends and he laid down his life for us " Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends." John 15:13
In my mind there are many people I would lay my life down for. I'm not sure they would right back. Thats the hard reality of it all. Being certain of who you know would and wouldn't. I don't even mean this in literal terms really. Figuratively, you could use this. In slang terms. "Who has your back?" Some I know close to me I've struggled to see that. I don't want to overlook my friendships. I hardly rant on subjects like this. I'm not usually emotional. But, that's how I am about the topic of friends. I don't have many. For reasons of my own. I want to know without a shadow of a doubt that "they'll have my back." Otherwise with time they'll drift. Most of the time a current just takes things further and further away.
I'm most interested in seeing how this goes. What God is doing, teaching, showing me. My life is simple right now but I want it to be extraordinary! Don't confuse this with the things in my life. Because, my husband, my kids, family/friends, the church we attend, extraordinary. My life being a sweet devotion to the Lord, not as good as it should. I know I'm missing out. Thats how its simple and not extraordinary. Doing the least in my relationship with the LORD. I love the LORD Jesus and I know that He's invested in me. I really need to do the same.
