His greatness is unsearchable!

What a beautiful day! Today I hung out with fellow workers to celebrate my MK friend's birthday. Michael will turn 14 in a few days, which means, well, I could easily be his AUNT. :) We had a great time. Leaving the city for a place with blue skies, fresh air, and mountains with streams running down them just does me right! I always think of my years at GA camp in places like that! What a joy!

Of course, as can happen easily, I had that one moment of self pity. Just as I sat down on a rock by the stream to chat with God and spend time enjoying the peacefulness, Michael's 2-year old sister snuck out and decided to sit with me. Of course I enjoyed her desire to "hang out" with me, but as she wandered closer to the stream, stopping to pick flowers and enjoy the sun, I thought, "I could have a 2-year old!" Then, my frail, fleshly self started thinking, "Why? Why am I in this 'in-between' place of not being a mom, but not being a 'kid' and not really knowing where to fit?!?" As I flipped to a passage in the Scriptures, I began reading Psalm 145, and as usual, God reminded me of His sovereignty and might.

Here's what the Word spoke to me:

• I like to praise His name!
• He is majestic!
• He is gracious and full of compassion.
• "The Lord is righteous in all His ways..."
• "He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him."
• One day, everyone will bless His name forever.

So, why did I pity myself? Who knows. I'm thankful He sent Elena to sit with me, though. Why I doubt, I'll never understand, but I know He will satisfy my desires in His way and in His time. Humbling. Incredible. Amazing.
