Friend of God...BFF!

The wonder of it all hit me as I gazed into my youngest son's eyes and asked him if he truly knew or wanted to know what it was to be a friend of God.

The question wasn't posed as a judgment.

We had just finished reading Isaiah 9..
"For unto us a child is born..."

It hits me with greater strength and regularity..the older I get...
( there are some perks to aging.. )
We hear all the time about who God is..and isn't...

One thing is certain...
In spite of all you hear now-a-days...
I am NOT God..
And neither are you...

I feel much better for the knowing.
( They..and you know who THEY are...would be creating a coalition for sure if that was the case...
no need for an election...nope...not interested in the position... AT ALL..)

Anyways...I digress... ( as usual...)
I tend to call it babbling...

Moving right along...

I have decided today to be God's very best friend.

BFF...LOL... ROTFL...

Yup.

Me and God...

I mean really...he is much better at it than I am, being Jehovah...I AM...and all..

But it hit me like a ton of bricks that I am a good friend...
Far from perfect... but I am truly BFF material.

Seeing that the eternal part of my make-up..
....the part I had nothing what-so-ever to do with creating..
..was designed by the BEST ever of totally top all time #one chart busting non-human...uncreated perfectly all encompassing mach 10 FRIEND of all time...
Well...the fact that I have that DNA running through my body.. doesn't hurt!

That's just Divine.

Wow.

I wanna be His friend.
Bracelets...beads...tattoo his name on my heart..kind of friend...

He's been mine for a while.

Since before I knew him.

Which is completely..like..OFF THE CHARTS super.

( I could say wicked or sick... but I just can't make myself put those words in a sentence to mean the exact opposite...sigh..I am completely NOT cool!)

Like I said... the older I get the more it blows my mind..which actually concerns me..because I am noticing a steady drain on my mental resources lately...

Mind blowing at 41 can have a disastrous affect on your fine motor skills and short term memory...

Sigh...

The great thing about being friends with God... is that he's not on facebook... ( actually..I haven't checked..maybe he is..so don't quote me on that just yet.)

We are however going walking together today..
We already had coffee... and we are doing this book-club thingy..
I love shopping with him because I don't spend as much money...

I have decided to tell him every day that I like the job he is doing... even if I don't completely understand it...
The way he paints and sculpts and gardens... I can't stop telling him what it does on the inside of me...
He loves it when I tell him.... which just gives me chills.

You know those moments..
When everything goes stiller than still...
When the air stops moving....and everything fades...
I am sure time stops...
And all there is...is the two of us.
And we KNOW...

BFF's ...
