I Can Trust... "You" (also known as "Thee")

I went looking for this song (by Rebecca St. James), and found the following cover of it! Someone had played it on the piano and sung it! I love the job he did on it! He said he had really come to enjoy this song, and I told him he was in good company!

I have been really drawing help from this song today - because it is agonizing! I think, however, about certain "other dear people"; and what I would want if I were in their shoes! I know what I would want! Space! Room! Room to breathe! To think! I would NOT want any "claustrophobia"! I would want me to chill right out! I know for a fact that that is exactly what I would want.


Therefore, it is very straightforward what I need to do! As I already said: CHILL OUT! Another thing? Same thing I did last night! SLEEP! I got to bed BY 9 PM last night! What a miracle! I want that miracle again tonight! In fact, I am going to even aim for EIGHT! After all, I set my alarm for just after 4 AM; so if I want "eight" hours of sleep, I have to GET to bed by "eight!" Again, I can always aim for it!


I recall that Adam, in Genesis 2, was alone; and it wasn't good. And seems like in naming all of the animals, he was somehow keeping an eye out for a creature that could keep him company - and he wasn't finding one! Therefore, what did he do? Well, it was really God that caused him to fall into a deep sleep. Tonight, I pray that I will follow Adam's example and simply sleep! "...for so he giveth his beloved sleep..." (Psalm 127).


What did God do? He formed the woman out of Adam's side and BROUGHT HER TO HIM! I have been waiting on God to do that for me, too; for a very long time! Furthermore, I thought I was discerning him actually having been doing that for me, for the last several years. Even now, I am moving this one mountain I mentioned earlier so I can get back to waiting on him regarding this certain person (if not this one other person). In the meantime, however, I have to know that - once I have done everything I can to move those mountains - I might as well (again) sleep tight! They do move, but they also take time to move! This can be agonizing, and it is; but I recall the words of Paul from II Corinthians 4:

⁷ But we haue this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellencie of the power may be of God, and not of vs.

⁸ Wee are troubled on euery side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despaire,⁸

⁹ Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast downe, but not destroyed.

¹⁰ Alwayes bearing about in the body, the dying of the Lord Iesus, that the life also of Iesus might bee made manifest in our body.

¹¹ For we which liue, are always deliuered vnto death for Iesus sake, that the life also of Iesus might bee made manifest in our mortall flesh.

...

¹⁶ For which cause we faint not, but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

¹⁷ For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for vs a farre more exceeding and eternall waight of glory,

¹⁸ While we looke not at the things which are seene, but at the things which are not seene: for the things which are seene, are temporall, but the things which are not seene, are eternall.

(Taken from the 1611 edition, which - as I am sure is apparent - has some rather funky spelling!)

By the way? I read an article someone else had posted on Facebook; which a good friend had shared. I would have shared it too, but it contained the acronym, "WT#" (the # is a censorship job!). What the acronym stands for is: "What the... 'bleep'!"; and I don't like it! I certainly wasn't going to share that article, seeing I am "moving a mountain" - in other words, waiting for a certain article to get deleted from a friend's Facebook wall, which contains the expression: "Scary as 'bleep'!" I knew - when I saw that profane acronym in the article I was thinking of sharing - that the least I could do was be consistent!

Now, of course, though I am waiting for that article to get deleted, my hands are somewhat tied! If it was my Facebook account, I would simply delete it! This, however, is a friend's page! And this friend has every right to go right ahead and leave that article exactly where it is! I pray and hope that doesn't happen; but I still know it is up to her!

It is distressing and agonizing, but, as they say in AUS: "No worries!" Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof! I do pray, though, that any married person would be able to rest assured that they DO have a lot to be thankful for. I know I do too; but I don't want all this uncertainty for ever!

On the flip side? I'm going to have to make an agonizing phone call! To a woman! An attractive woman! Who is definitely interested in me! And I showed interest in her at first! I, however, am no longer interested in her! Why? It was too easy! She up and wanted me, seemingly, right away! That's no fun! That's boring! I WANT a challenge!

And this other situation? Challenge? Eat your heart out! And I am "eating my heart out"! I am reminding myself that - God willing - if this works out the way I want it to? Then, when it does? As I have said, I WILL do cartwheels! I will be 100% satisfied! And one of the reasons? It will have been the ULTIMATE struggle!

...THAT... I love! "...For hope that is seen is not hope - for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we SEE NOT, then do we with patience wait for it..." (Romans 8)

I do wait for it. Again - first and foremost: for that mountain to move! And I command it, in Jesus' name, TO move! I do not, however, command the owner of that Facebook page to do anything! I pray that she will know she is free to do what she wants; but if she could be talked into wanting to delete that article, that would (I admit) be SUCH a relief to me. If she would be willing to pray about deleting it? That would be perfect for me! Goodnight!

Sincerely,

Daniel Robbins
