In my attempts to be obedient I'm amazed at what God tells me. I have started a blog recently called Puddle Hopper and while still transforming I felt like this morning I was focused on the puddle.... You see I was living and acting like a puddle for many years. Have you seen a puddle lately? Have you been a puddle yourself?
I am an emotional being. Created in my Father's image. Fashioned like my earthly father as well. There have been times I've cried more than I thought was possible. I've cried puddles. I felt like a puddle, just a heap of tears. Sad, depressed, alone.... I believe I was given an extra dose of emotions (some may call this drama), I know now that was for God's glory to shine through. A year ago I would cry, tears of pity for myself, tears of not feeling loved, tears of gratefulness for feeling loved by Him, tears of shame, tears for my losses, tears....and more tears. I am still an emotional being (Amens from the crowd?) yet I'm no longer a puddle, I'm a puddle hopper. Yep, I still have puddles in my life. Some are shallow and some are deep. Yet I have grace and God to help me put on my rain boots and go splashing through. Like a child who searches out the puddles just to jump in, get wet, dirty, and then laugh about how fun; I want to be the puddle hopper. Boldly jumping through the puddles this life brings. Grab your umbrellas and boots, let's go play in the puddles!
