Fast Food Mentality
The follower can't have a fast-food mentality when it comes to the things of God. Once again, the curse of the western Christian has taught us that to wait for God's answer is a burden, not as it should be seen, a relief. Jesus knew that even the thing which is good for us, is only good for us in God's time.

I went to McKay's and bought 4 books and then several from the free bin. I was there right when the guy was dumping books into the free bin and got some beauties. I also passed up some books -- one, for example, was Wastewater Engineering. Yikes. I do not ever want to read about wastewater engineering. Ick. EVEN THOUGH it is a public work and a necessary city utility, still. Just no.
Anyway, one of my purchased books was the source of the above quote. Isn't it a good one? I like it. Stay tuned for more good quotes.

This is an excellent quote. As my devotional life needs to get back on track and I have been reaping what I have been sowing. Just yesterday it dawned on me "If it has taken me 10 years of walking with Him to really trully realize that I need to be with Him on on a daily basis, then its good that I'm not married now. For the marriage would be a sham."

Why would the marriage be a sham? Married life for me is teaching me things like that...it just gets you right where you are. You're selling yourself short, Carrie.
