From The Dust Arise

Shake yourself from the dust and arise; be seated, O Jerusalem; loose the bonds from your neck, O captive daughter of Zion. Isaiah 52:2

Eluded

A lot in my life has eluded me lately. For example: I was very excited about the new Harry Potter movie. (Because I am a nerd. And for those of you who are against Harry Potter because of its witchcraft I am sorry if my enjoyment of fantasy offends you, it is not my intention to offend) (I digress)


Anyway, I got midnight showing tickets and waited in line for over 4 hours to get decent seats, paid way too much for a giant coke, and tried to ignore the 17 year old next to me dropping the F-bombs every 20 seconds. I am a huge fan of the books and the whole movie franchise has been, ehh. It has been nice to get to see my favorite characters in Live Action…. LOL that reminds me.

My friend Libby was talking about a park she discovered by her house and how wonderful it is. She stated that it was an unofficial dog park and they occasionally had concerts there. Then she said, “Sometimes they even put on these medieval shows or something cause people are always dressed up.” I almost peed my pants with laughter. I had to explain what LARP (Live Action Role Play) was. Hahahaha I told her they would let her join if she just asked lol. And no I have never participated in LARP for those of you who are wondering. (I am just a baby nerd with isolated nerd tendencies not full blown nerd regalia)  Need more LARP info? Watch the below out-of-state news cast.



Ok back to my Harry Potter a much less nerdy hobby. The point was/is that in the end I was left eluded as to why so many wonderful things were left out and why I had expected anything more considering the massive amounts they have left out of the previous movies.

More importantly, God has eluded me, or well his plan in my life has. I have been praying for three or four big things in my life lately. These things have taken up my quiet times and I still cannot discern what the Lord wants me to do. These things are very important to me and I know that we have free will and a choice but I also know that God always has a best in mind. I want his best but for some reason I cannot decipher what exactly that is. People keep telling me to keep praying, never give up, and eventually the answers will come.

That’s all great and wonderful but in some cases “eventually” is not fast enough for me. Actually most of the time eventually is not sufficient for me. I know that waiting on the Lord produces blessings but must I wait even for an answer? I mean I’m not asking for magical results just an answer as to how I should react in a few specific but very important situations.

I want God’s best but right now, it eludes me.
