  • Wild at heart

    By John Eldredge

    Spoke to me and aligned with my history

    Sent BflyMary

    Just had a Godwink… 🔗 moment: Wild at Heart book is exactly what I need. I stopped at the part that I understood I was missing a lot of what a boy needed growing up with women and not tested much. Developed “why try” mentality. Weakened me so much thru out life, but now thru Christ everything has changed for me.

    Closed the notebook and book. Looked at the verse of the day… Romans 5:3-4 Rejoice for problems and trials to build character for salvation….. God so Good

    Word of God vs current reality

    Space of tension in the between

    Qvh

    Existing in faith

    Be bold to pray in faith

    Faith is being certain in the unknown

    Living in the space of tension

    Aka space of faith

    So used to dropping the other end of the rope

    Everyone has dropped a bit of faith in truth

    Everyone has dropped it for someone else

    Holding firm in two realities

    Stability … Abram GEN 15:6 is stable in faith in God

    Gen 12 to 15 is 14 years

    25 years of stable faith before the promise was fulfilled to have a child

    Abram waited 16 years after Ishmael for Isaac

    Sarai offered Abram the apple of control

    Abram chose to control the situation

    God does not shame or abandon Abram

    Still blesses Ishmael

    Still fulfills God’s original promise for Isaac

    Not perfect endurance

    Not perfection

    Return to trust

    Allow God to restore my dropping of the rope

    God give me strength to endure the tension I tried to get out of

    This is biblical faith

    Control is trying to resolve tension on your own

    Faith is allowing tension to resolve in trusting God

    When waiting feels unbearable

    We give up faith for control

    Without faith, it is impossible to please God

    Help me with my unbelief

    I know you have been trying to get close to me

    -Close to me by sharp dialect

    God winked

    Earlier asked where Roma’s chew rope went

    Turned my head as I was organizing my hair

    There it is

    Oh thank you, God

    I just needed to ask?

    Yes

    Praying over the middle school small group session

    Echo of a question rang

    What does unsolicited advice mean?

    -8th grade female

    Awkward to let the story hang without interaction

    Acknowledgement is bare minimum

    Shaming is going backwards

    Empathy is going forward

    Just hold space

    What if I had the authority of Jesus to heal

    I would listen to someone

    Empathize

    And heal

    I am not Jesus

    I can point them to Jesus

    I can trust Jesus will take care of them

    Better than I can

    Do not give special attention

    To events you do not want to mark / remember

    Give affection near blanket place

    To have it be a safe place for comfort and love

    Do not say special good bye

    When returning is the event you want them to remember

    Do I ignore her as I do my tasks?

    How will she feel about that?

    Like she does not exist

    Discern bare minimum of acknowledgement

    Or engagement

    If I cave in Every time to affection

    I would get no tasks complete

    * Snatched peaceful nap

    Looked over to Roma peacefully napping

    And may your kingdom be

    What wakes us up, and lays us down

    Lose my soul by tobymac

    Peaceful rest

    Not the same as submissive sleep

    Peaceful, tuckered out from run and fun, rest

    Not the same as flustered and all cried out exhaustion sleep
