Moving? You finally getting out?Our schools here in No Cal are still in session as well. They will be for another week, I think.
Well, off to bed for another busy day of moving tomorrow.
The Lord's blessings to all of you.
Nite, nite.
I remember in college doing a study of the way God leads us. The verse that stuck in my mind is "Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path." (which was also a popular CCM song at the time, so it makes it easier for me to remember)I do my best to be much more obedient now, but sometimes the path He would have me on is not so apparent and the thought of screwing up brings the memory of the pain of being hammered to the surface.
My husband loves potatoes and bacon, and hates anything with mayonnaise. He comes from a family with some German background, but he'd never had GPS until I made it for him. I wanted potato salad, but knew he wouldn't eat it if I made it with mayo. We had GPS a lot growing up (my Dad's family was very German), so it was like a taste of home. He really liked it, too.I love a good German potato salad. But I haven't had any in quite a while. The church I serve is Slovak, so it's halupki or pierogies, but no GPS.

I grew up in a Scouting family, and usually spent summers at camp (dad worked at a Boy Scout camp). I had early experience with using a flashlight to light the path in front of me. The thing I remember most from this study is that image... and the fact that the light really only lights the next step, or the next two. It doesn't light the whole path. That's still in darkness, or is dim. And when you come to a branch in the path, you see only the branch... the choices... not where they lead.
God leads us step by step, illuminating our path as we trust in Him. But He doesn't always give us a detailed map of where we're going. Sometimes I'd like to see the Big Hand with its Laser Pointer of Illumination showing me exactly where I'm supposed to go... but that's just not how He works most of the time.
So I thank Him for the lamp for my next step, and let Him worry about the rest of the path.

What? I was going to make a huge tub of mayo-mustard potato salad the weekend of the June 17th.
Doesn't make him a bad guy. I'm not fond of mayo either.
I love mayo. The problem is it's an unrequited love. Mayo hates me. Anything with Soybean oil in it gives me fits. Just can't take that bio-diesel I guess...Actually, anything with soy at all is on my can't-have list. Sadly, that includes chocolate. I like GPM, cold though, not hot. GrandMum used to make it all the time. She also used to make a fried cookie that I forget the name of. They were wonderful.
I love me some taters and mayo. In fact, I carry some around with me all the time. It just stays with me!Doesn't make him a bad guy. I'm not fond of mayo either.
