Book of Proverbs

Pastor Bobby and his crew have decided to go through the Book of proverbs... very cool. I've been a slacker at going to the site the past few weeks. These high school kids that post sometimes put me to shame, they have such wonderful thoughts and analysis. I'm not involved with the group on a ministry level, though maybe someday soon. I have some obstacles I need to work through before this will occur.

I think it's funny (in a weird way!) my thoughts were about Solomon last night and I stumbled across what they are doing on Godsong Music this morning. I had absolutely no idea. I have hardly talked to anyone in that group lately (LoL, I don't mean to make it sound like they're exclusive and I'm not allowed to, I've just had many other things to do), so I had to laugh out loud when I went to the site. For today, I especially like Proverbs 2:10-11: 10 "For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul. 11 Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you."

Though the whole chapter is talking about wisdom and wanting to attain wisdom, I especially like verse 11 in this because it sort of (in a long round about way) goes along with Proverbs 4:23… guarding your heart will definitely bring understanding... and peace (I will have to post some thoughts on peace soon, it's something that has been sitting in my brain for a while). Understanding is crucial in any relationship… whether it’s a family relation, friendship, dating, marriage or even yourself!!

I have learned this truth on the fly lately in meeting people from all walks of life... whether I've met them on the internet or at a new singles group I am going to (at least, temporarily!) on Thurs nights. I don't know how long I will be going to this group, if even just for the summer, but it gives me much more insight to how people think and how important it is to understand that not everyone is like me and will never ever be like me, no matter what. Well, unless I have a twin that was separated from me at birth! ha ha

The funny thing is my horoscope goes along with this: I hate horoscopes, but it just flashed on my computer. My horoscope today is: Knowing how to go with the flow is an underrated skill. Work on perfecting it today! You don't 'do' surprises. You plan surprises -- for other people -- but in your own life, everything's planned and accounted for. Aw, come on! What fun is that? Let yourself be surprised and you'll like what you see.
