Fireworks

Recently I went on a first date with a really nice guy. I had been out of the whole dating scene for a while and so I was pretty nervous. It went well, but afterward I was kinda disappointed because there didn't seem to be any "fireworks" for me. 

After much thought and pondering I figured out what was wrong, and then today God showed me something amazing! 

I figured out that my expectations were way way way too high! I mean where did I get those silly expectations of smooth flowing conversation, of being so calm, of being able to tell a persons heart the first time meeting them haha!.... I realized it was from those blasted chic flicks that I watch all the time! Ugh! Those things make us think that Romeo is going to come rescue us on a white horse and we're going to fall in love and live happily ever after! Gag me!!!!! :)

Well after the first date and after time to think through things, I was very very thankful that there weren't fireworks. I mean after all the Lord does know my heart and my proneness to wander. And so I couldn't help but think that the Lord was keeping it "fireworkless" for me and my 'Gomer" heart! How sweet of Him, because He knew that if there were big booming, bright, dazzling fireworks, my heart would once again be swept away by a temporal feeling and leave my first love. 

So today while I was on my way home from work, I was singing and praising the Lord after a hard earned victory over Satan and my flesh. I was singing with all my heart of how much I love the Lord and how there is no one above him... Hillsong has such good songs! 

As I was going down the road, belting out a love song... He thought it was pretty, but if anyone woulda been in the car with me they would have been clawing to get out! hahaha!

All of the sudden in mid-song... I looked up at the sun... it was so amazing! A jet had recently flown by I guess and there was a swirl trail of smoke from the jet that passed straight up under the sun. IT LOOKED JUST LIKE A BIG OL FIRECRACKER HAD GONE OFF! I mean one of those big, shake the earth, dazzling, bright, booming ones! It was fireworks of the best kind, from my first Love! It even extended out to where a rainbow was reflecting on a nearby cloud! It was soooo cool to see that in the sky... it probably only meant something to me, but boy did it mean something! The Lover of my soul was taking time to romance my heart and woo me once again to His side! It's truly amazing how the LORD God, Lover of our souls speaks to us when we slow down long enough to be still before Him. 

Don't you just know how much He enjoys us when we as His children take great delight in Him. Dont' you think that just makes His heart swell with self-righteous, deserved, glory in Himself! I love it! He is soooooooooo good and so awesome! 

I mean no other love on this earth is going to create fireworks like that! - I mean come on, who can outdo a firework sun with a cloud trail and a rainbow to top it off! :) He is the only Lover deserving of this heart!!!!! :)

He is perfect Love and He truly is enough!
