You have to love Facebook – walk away for a moment and upon returning find an awesome meme only for Facebook to jump me to the most recent posts – meme lost forever. \u00a0I found a few other graphics but nothing like the one on Facebook. \u00a0After scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling some more I decided I could throw something together in Photoshop on the fly. \u00a0So there it is.

Sometimes God doesn’t change your situation because He wants to change your heart.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Changing my situation<\/h2>\n

Oh boy. \u00a0Even today, several hours ago, I stopped for a moment to think about how I haven’t taken as much time away from everything to meditate or pray and spend time alone with God. \u00a0It could explain my recent turmoil – while mostly at peace I’m often distracted. \u00a0It isn’t healthy.<\/p>\n

Changing my heart<\/h2>\n

I think I’ve summarized the problem I face. \u00a0I feel\u00a0changes in my heart, a great deal of change, but I cannot stop growing or my\u00a0situation will never change because I won’t have the right heart. \u00a0Who said it would be easy…
\nI’ve printed several photos very recently – yesterday and about five minutes ago lol. \u00a0<\/strong>
\nI figure it helps to remind me what I have to gain with continued progress toward the heart I know God wants for me. \u00a0That’s a wrap.
\noh – my son is one handsome fella… \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last thoughts<\/h3>\n

I thought hey let’s find a Youtube video for my readers – yeah Youtube is like, “May we suggest…” and the suggested video was “Running back to you –\u00a0For The Foxes.” <\/em>Really? \u00a0The next thing I know I land on some advert in Google images and wind up on this website –\u00a0http:\/\/unveiledwife.com\/dont-give-up-on-your-marriage\/<\/a>\u00a0– I’m not even married anymore and it’s written for women anyhow. \u00a0Despite my claim to irrelevancy it does stand to make a statement, at least in my head. \u00a0We know there are problems with my head so I might be making a big deal out of pure coincidence – but then what isn’t?
\nI guess I had more last thoughts than I do reference to the point of writing this post in the first place. \u00a0It’s 8pm already … \u00a0I don’t know. \u00a0I’ve had an interesting day and now I’ve written a post, always a good thing, and I think video games and bed are in order. \u00a0I have no idea why this word is in my head\u00a0–\u00a0solvency – and why I’m reflecting on 11 months being a single dude just trying to make my heart grow (hurry and get it right – stupid heart). \u00a0I know I have to words but Lord knows that’s far from sufficient. \u00a0So, keeping to task. \u00a0I want to keep writing, as if I were writing someone, some person. \u00a0I’ll just hit repeat on this track and – scratch that – video games. \u00a0I will also find reasons to frequent the kitchen where I will check out my photos, like the one above of Judah.
