This is a song I discovered in South Korea, and I definitely fell in love with it. If I am discerning God's will correctly, then I would like to dedicate it to my future wife (God willing, of course). I think I know who it is? But at work today I definitely agonized at what would be involved in winning her. The flipside, however, is that when (again, GOD WILLING) "I DO" (no pun intended) win her - I am going to do CARTWHEELS! After all, I have always loved challenges - and in this case? CHALLENGE! Really, I cannot think of any more of a "mission ...possible" if I tried! I was going to call it the "other kind" of mission; but then I caught myself! I said, "Wait a moment! Am I believing this is possible or not?" My decision? DEFINITELY "POSSIBLE!" By the grace of God, alone, of course; though! What makes this mission so... "...possible"? Well, let's just say that marrying her would involve a pretty serious "flip", as a dear trusted friend was explaining from his perspective over the phone last night. I thank God for his input; because I do NOT want to presume upon this person or her parents! Not for even a moment. I simply want to get married to someone where I love her, and she loves me. I cannot think of a situation where that is even close to being the case as much as this (with only one caveat - and God knows what that is! ;)) I think I am discerning that God bringing us together, but I wait on him (as I have said many a time), with open hands... and mouth! ;0 Psalm 81:10.

By the way? I now have a job in Calgary at Davidson Enman Lumber! Seriously? This was almost a 50% raise compared to my last job! And how did I get here? I did the right thing. I mean, I made mistakes along the way, too - and I cannot say I always did the right thing, the right way; but God obviously saw my heart and gave me this HUGE promotion! Hallelujah!
Here's Hoping, Believing, and Waiting!
Well, I made that phone call yesterday, and was encouraged! Seeing as this blog is called, "Give Your Heart a Home", I think I'll share that song again here!
http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&frm=1&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CB8QyCkwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D6tAldfoCbkc&ei=zfeyVI7-AdOOyASg6oKYCg&usg=AFQjCNEVm_TLcxqPqqBI0TGi3lZBqOBa_g&sig2=tMaXdGCZzpTzOZDt1Fka7Q
One more thing, though? Remember that story of Boaz and Ruth? He discovered that someone significantly younger than him wanted to be his wife? And he was elated! But I recall what he told her: I'll do what I can, but I cannot guarantee that this will go ahead. If that other man, who was first in line, had wanted to; he could have redeemed Ruth and married her. In that case, Boaz would not have been able to marry Ruth. If he could understand that fact, I KNOW I have to!
"Abba! Father! I really want to marry this girl - but, again, I know I have to be prepared for the disposing thereof; which, I know, is of thee (as per Proverbs 16:33). I agonize at the thought of having to let this dream die... AGAIN! But I know that I can afford to wait on thee, smile, and continue to open my mouth! (Psalm 81:11)" In Jesus' name, amen!

Finally!
I finally figured out how to post to this thing! What a relief! See, I do not have the same primary Gmail address I had when I created this blog. Therefore, until now, I would still run into frustration when signing in - because I was signing in under a different Gmail account. Either way, I am finally able to post something here; and, again, that is such a relief!
Do you know what? I might actually know whom I am mean to marry - but if I am right, then am I ever going to be taking on the world! It is very agonizing, but I cannot seem to stop thinking this certain someone is the one! I really to pray and hope she is. If she were, that would solve everything - and then some... and actually: and then a whole lot more! That would redeem the shattered pieces of my over four decades of existence so far - at least in my humble opinion! Here's praying, waiting, and even - God willing - preparing to make a phone call... But first, I've got to get home and get to bed! :)

Just GOT Job, and Still HAVE it, by the Grace of God!
I now work for Moose Jaw Truss. It's a miracle. Do pray for me, if you would, however, because getting to bed IS a battle, and I DID get caught falling asleep during the training today. NOT the sort of thing I want to be doing! With that in mind, I am going to get off this computer, and on with whatever else it is I am going to do before GETTING TO BED, EARLY! Nevertheless, however, I DO have a truss-designing job, and thank God for it. I simply need him to make a way for me to make a go of it, legitimately - and that's going to be an adventure, to be sure... (So, I am in Calgary for a week of training, and RAN OUT OF FUEL on my way into Calgary yesterday(!))

I need you
I love the freedom of being single, but this cannot go on for ever. When God finally mercifully gets me out of this pit of not being able to marry you, I am going to celebrate - and dance! I declare it in Jesus` name!
