No Chapter Here

Yep, this entry isn't dated by a chapter . . . I'd love to encourage you to read chapter 13 about the Passover . . . it is great . . . but I am not going to write about it today.So today, I took about three hours just to process where I am with the Lord and where I want to go. Just to pray through what He is doing in my life and to meditate on scripture. Honestly 3 hours was not long enough. I want to encourage all of you to do this. There really is something freeing about it. I had a slight plan for my time, but I also wanted to leave plenty of flex time just to see what the Lord wanted to do with the time and in my heart. One of the things that I was thinking about, but didn't really process during my time has to do with this verse:Colossians 2:10And you are complete through your union with Christ. He is the Lord over every rule and authority in the universe. I cannot share all the details of the case on this entry, but I had report a case to CPS on Friday . . . it was so hard for me to just put it in their hands. Like once I told them the story . . . I no longer had control. All I could do is tell the story as accurately as I could and leave the rest up to them. When I was reading the above verse in Colossians today it made me think about this truth. That the Lord is in control of the authority of the CPS. That I have to just lay this situation and future situations and the Lord's feet. I just have to give them to Him- b/c he is in control of any and all authority. I know that counseling is what God has created me to do in some fashion, but it is HARD . . . especially when you are dealing with folks that don't even really want to be counseled. There is a learning curve here in knowing how to deal with all of this emotionally. I'm on the curve. :)
