"Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. This is why 'it was credited to him as righteousness.' The words 'it was credited to him' were written not for him alone, but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness—for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification." - Romans 4.20 thru 25
I have nothing to say in this entry. Instead, I require audience participation (yes, even from those who read but never comment). If you are reading this, I'm asking you to please leave, in a comment, a promise that the Lord has given you-- as general or specific as you like, whether it's "redemption" or "a new pair of shoes." I'm serious. Leave a promise in a comment on this entry and you will be edifying a friend (me).

This is a little something that I have decided to henceforth refer to as my November Promise:
"I'm not finished with you* yet, you just need to wait. Continue to be patient and hope in Me."
That's what HE said.
I struggle with this promise; it's so vague, and I'm not sure what to do with it, or how to interpret it. Sometimes I even find myself annoyed with God when He reminds me of it. It complicates things, yet when I read these words, they seem to be laced with comfort. I know it will all make sense someday.
*You know what this is for.
Also, GAIA has promised me that I will be in the circle of life forever; and when I die, my body will be used to feed the antelopes, as it fertilizes the swaying grasses of the Serengeti.
God tells me everyday that I am too short-sighted.
I want immediacy in everything, especially healing.
He promises that He's doing something, but day by day I cannot see it.
He promises He's giving me greater patience to see each day through, to look back and see His work.
