Vol 5
Shalom, God has blessed us with another beautiful day. To work for the Kingdom we need to have determination. This is a struggle for me just like the other topics I have been writing about.
Let’s go for a walk together…
Determination.
Saturday I woke up and I thought there was woodcutting but I couldn’t get a hold of anyone. So I went out to do some errands for my pad and buy some clothes. I was in Silverdale and just out of JC Penny. I felt like doing something creative to rekindle my youth I went out looking for a model airplane. I first went to Joann’s they had nothing, then I walked over to Rite Aide, I walked in and looked for the aisle but couldn’t find it. The lady at the front asked me if I needed help, I told her I was looking for a model airplane. She had a look of confusion and strangeness to her. She most of thought I was from another place and time. She said she didn’t think so. I looked around anyway found nothing. So then I went to Toys R Us and imagined this place as hell. Awful colors everywhere, kids running around, I got out of their quick. Again I was stopped at the front. The lady asked me “can I help you find something?” “A model airplane” I told her. She was cute and her hair was bright red, she had a look of angels. “We don’t carry those, sorry, good luck with your search” “thanks” I said with a smile. I walked out and stood their trying to think of a reason to go back in there to talk to her. I didn’t I wanted this stupid model airplane. I got in my truck and headed north to Highway 3 to the Super Wal-Mart in Poulsbo. This place had rednecks everywhere! My type of people I tell you what. I went in and found no model airplanes. I walked out by this time I was hungry and I haven’t ate anything. I went to Mc Donald’s to get some grub. The drive threw line was backed up so I went inside. The inside was crowded as well, ahhh! I screamed loud to myself. I ordered me a milkshake to calm my nerves and get me motivated for my quest. I jumped back onto Highway 3 back to Silverdale. My last stop was Michaels and it was getting down to the wire. The parking lot was an obstacle course people parked their rigs out in the middle of the lanes. I parked and got out. I walked in and I found my model airplane. As I was walking out some lady driving a blue mustang almost clipped me. Great I said to myself after all this trouble of getting this I’m going to get hit. It would have been a glorious death.
The prophet Hosea had a weird calling. Gomer his wife, left him to become a prostitute, God commanded Hosea to love and watch over her as she pursued her heathen desires. Hosea had to suffer the humiliation of his wife getting busy with other men. She even ended up selling herself into slavery. Still Hosea followed his wife around, secretly taking care of her, paying for her needs from behind the scenes; he even bought her back after she became a slave. Hosea’s life became a reflection of God’s undying and self-sacrificing love to Israel, and ultimately to us. The prophet’s determination to love no matter the cost demonstrates just shows how endless God’s love is for you and me. God gave him the strength to rise above their circumstances and he will do the same for us. We need only trust in Him for true power, resolve, and grace.
Well there you have it, I believe that these walks that we went on will benefit your works with God and help you as a person. I’m moving on to other things which I don’t have a clue. God willing, I’m going to wander threw the wilderness to see what He has in store for me. It is going to be a long trip full of sorrow, pain, death, happiness, love, honor… redemption. God bless you, I love you and may he bless you in whatever you do. 08 is looking great!
Shalom,
Hutcharooski
