2 months

two months ago today i entered HIS house. I made a covenant. Its weird to think that i have been going inside HIS building for two months now. a few years back i dont think i would be where i am now. Wearing garments is still a challenge especially with the warmer months coming. But when wearing them it reminds what promises i made, i think of what each marking means and just what the meaning behind the garment is. and who knew how comfy they would be and how uncomfy it would be when im not wearing them. i feel naked when im at the gym or out running. I love having HIS house as my safe haven, an escape from the pressures of life. I dont have to think about what i have to do or what things that i regret not doing or anything negative. Once i enter HIS house all that flutters away and i know that all that matters is knowing that HE loves me no matter what. That I live my life with love, courage, caring, kindness, respect, happiness, desire, faithfulness, service and selflessness so that i can return to HIM. and i seriously cant wait to return to HIM with his arms open wide to greet me. but i know that day is not yet.
