God opportunities

yes this relationship building thing is tiring but its great that the Lord has slowly put other first in our lives by re-assuring us that we are first in his...

Bringing Adelle over with her husband was one of those relationships I had to renew..and it was great!We didnt really go over the past but we moved on from it. It was good to see her and catch up with her man too. Deep down she still wishes to see my family united, and i have seen what i didnt see before.That is the differences between us.When youre younger you thnk you can keep everyone on the same wavelength and everyone should operate like you but Thank God, he changes all that! He moves us from inward focus to outward focus, and this time the Lord reminded me that she isnt like me, nor is she like my other cousins, nor is she like my brothers, but she is just another fruit in this cocktail of personalities he has put together in one family! It is my duty as a member of his family to accept it and cherish it.I realise that i missed her friendship and she missed mine! She is determined to see the Christchurch boys and was encouraging me to bring my brothers so we can all meet and catch up on all this lost time.She sees now in her other cousins what I saw in her before and realises how important it is to love others, reach out to others and remind them that they are loved. I have learnt that I have to accept that people change and its not always for the worse, that God uses change to teach me something, and I realised that I was extremely selfish before, lacked wisdom and had no divine insight in dealing with her.

One day i will call upon her and she will be there for me without fail and i Thank You Lord for opportunities you moved heaven and earth to create just so I can keep on loving, forgiving, accepting and renewing. Without you, all this would have been impossible!
Im glad that though my relationship with my cousin might not be the same as we were before, but you have created a new one where we can both build on!

Youre awesome Lord and I love You!
