God Is - Faithful

This past weekend, as usual, I was able to do a lot of thinking. Some of that was spent feeling sorry for myself, but then I got to thinking about songs (listening to "Imagine Me" with Kirk Franklin right now - that's one of 'em), which led to thinking about the meaning of said songs.

I often hear how "God is Holy", "God is Just", "God is Merciful", and recently "God is Cruel". Yes, God is many things - He is Everything! (I don't mean that in the "new age" sense, of course) But, I got to thinking, don't all of those attributes stem from His faithfulness? Whether He is faithful to His children & what He means them to be, or simply faithful to His role as all-wise Creator ("make us into corresponding shapes like puzzle pieces from the clay" - that song again :) ), He shows His dedication - His faithfulness - His determination - His LOVE. I tend to think a lot about "deep" stuff ("chim", correct? :) ), but even so, this is way over my head - how complicated, yet simple, God is.

So, many other things flash through my mind "hey, should blog about that!", and before I can write them down (or take notes), they are gone. Hmm, must've been a lie - my mom says that :)

I had a really great day at work (both jobs, yes=14 hours!). People were saying hello everywhere, and being friendly towards me. Usually, everyone looks right through me, and I spend the day talking to myself. Maybe it was because I was happy & smiling throughout the day, or perhaps it's due to the upcoming holiday - hah, that word only means extra work for me. I shrug that thought off with the anticipation of "extra paycheck" :) Lots of future ahead for me - lots to look forward to - lots of plans to think through.

Through it all, I must trust God to be faithful, and take that as more than I deserve. Don't take it for granted!!! *noted*

off to bed listening to Mercy Me's "Homesick" - beautiful song...
