One of those "Wow!" Devotional Moments

It isn't so much that the devotional itself was a "Wow!" but more my thoughts on it ten years ago and then today. GOD'S CALLING JOURNAL
p. 163 "I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine." Song of Solomon 6:3 "The way of the soul's transformation is the Way of Divine Companionship. Not so much the asking Me to make you this or that but the living with Me, thinking of Me, talking to Me -- thus you grow like me. Love me. Rest in Me. Joy in Me." My journal entry from Monday, June 1, 1998:
"I often forget that for my family I can claim the Lord's promised companionship -the promise to be a husband (provider) and a father to the fatherless. I need to claim this perfect companionship as I struggle to raise my daughter. I am a single parent, but I'm not alone, if I claim this." Wow! This was before homeschooling, before I believed I could be a keeper-at-home, before I had ever heard of Doug Phillips or listened to Defending the Fatherless (click on this in the Link section of my side bar for more information). Ten years ago, the Lord was already laying the foundation, that would be built upon through my life. How quickly I forget what the Lord has already taught me. How many lessons He must teach me over and over. I'm so glad for His long-sufferings with me. How about you? Are there lessons that you find the Lord is teaching you again, and again, and again?
