Life sometimes throws us a curveball! The wierdness of our individual personality quirks is something we all must face from time to time. Sometimes things just come out of "left field" and leave us wondering, "What just hit me, and where did it come from?" Well, it could be "testing" of our character and maturity that has been developing over time, or it could be simply an attack by the enemy of our souls!
It's all about continuing growth! Wow! My head is so full right now of all that has transpired in the last three hours! Testing is hard, and "victory" is not always sweet! Responding correctly to someone who is determined to "win", determined to be "in control" -- no matter how unreasonable or how ridiculous the point of view is . . . is definitely a fiery trial! No matter what the outcome is ("win or lose") . . . it's still painful!
The only sweetness is in the realization of: "I was victorious in what I have learned -- what I have been taught by God!" However, I still feel attacked and wounded! At this moment, only God's grace can make me smile, as I sense that He is pleased with my growth.
Wow!

P.S. I saw that pictureo of you and thought "wow your daughter looks justl like you" only to realize that it was you. Happy 40 years of marriage, and you know I would take all those curve balls to be where I am today in Him.
Thanks, Elizabeth! Wow! I can hardly believe you're still checking my blog to see if I've posted anything! You make me smile! Thanks!
We live our lives continually on the curve. It's when that curve straigntens out that we might start to think "we're there". I think that is the reason God wants us to pray continually.
Love you Jeannie. I'm glad you are back in here. Alot of us have missed you.
