There is only one Elvis.
But there is also only one version of this song.
Bizarre. Reunited with love, but still find a way to be alone on a Friday night. Fighting off something that wants to get you down. Again.
Tonight’s not going to be a good night for that.
Proverbs 30 with Flame via facetime when she wakes up. Rough week for her health-wise, but great results. So grateful. Would love to drive up, but have biz to work on this weekend here.
One more until the grand finale. Proverbs 31. Biblical description of what a good man needs in a good wife. And then afterwards, continuing to finish marathonning How I Met Your Mother. Into the final season now. Lots of emotions with that show, given your state back when you watched it the first time. How it almost seemed to speak to you, back before you realized that the Holy Spirit is Who you needed to listen to most.
Maybe one day you’ll do better at heeding His words. Bizarre that a single Friday night alone sends you back to PSB. Emotions tearing you in several directions at once. Remembering times not long ago. Being glad you aren’t there anymore, while still holding an ounce of romanticism for that time.
Every day, you become more grateful for other times in your life. More painful times. Times you needed to go through to be who you are today. Lessons you needed to learn.
You can feel yourself changing now. House being a mess ticks you off now. Same for days when you don’t accomplish much. Less happy-go-lucky, less head in the clouds, more like an actual 48 year old man with more of an eye for reality.
You want a Proverbs 31 woman. But that means you need to be known at the City Gates. You have a lot of growing to do to be ready to cross that finish line. So does she. But for once….. it just might be in sight – without the need for stars in your eyes.
Holy Spirit is working on you, if you let Him. When it’s time to smile and sing… that’s when you can smile and sing.
Now’s good. 🙂
