Triple Date...

"We love because He first loved us" ~1 John 4:19

The things you go through for love....
You get slicked up and smell good....
You get lectured about opening doors and pulling out chairs for the ladies...

You take the long walk carrying tulips and chocolate...
You are nervously aware that there are actual parents at the end of the journey
and they are going to look at you funny.You wait patiently while wondering if they are coming or not...
Your tummy does flip flops as you realize you have never done this before....
and you are standing there all alone....
(but you're quickly reminded, you are not.)You giggle along with parents who are trying to be funny.
You hold our breath and pray they aren't really staying with you in the car.

Suddenly your nerves convert to giggles and singing...
everything you were worried about it is gone....
You are enjoying the ride...Last night I was reminded that life is easier than I make it.
things are simpler than I make them.

No matter what age, we all stand at many proverbial doors worried about the other side...
We all walk up many long sidewalks worried about how we will be perceived with our gifts...

"Trust me enough to face problems as they come, rather than anticipate them.

Come to Me and relax in My Peace. I will transform your fear into confident trust."
-Jesus Calling

God, Thank You for Loving us first...and never leaving us alone at the door.

In His Dust,
