Do you ever have those days where thoughts are just flittering through your mind like butterflies in the summer stillness? I remember once when we had first moved to Iowa looking outside our sliding backdoor in the house in Circle Terrace and seeing just hundreds of monarch butterflies dancing around in the breeze. Maybe I dreamed it, but regardless, it was amazing. My thoughts are maybe not so amazing, but there are so many of them all going in different directions and its hard to keep up!

I wonder what God is doing in my life and in my heart right now. He has brought some ideas to mind that I must seriously consider...and in considering them, think on what is wisest and what is His desire rather than mine.

I've also been thinking about different women in the Bible that we know relatively little about, such as Abraham's wife, Sarah...and Noah's wife, Mrs. Noah as Boyd's Bears call her. They must have been remarkable women...I mean, Sarah's husband said probably pretty out of the blue, "Honey, we are moving, pack up everything and let's go." And he didn't know where, but she supported him in his submission to God and went. Mrs. Noah had her husband building an ark in the midst of a long drought with all the neighbor's laughing at them...but she must have supported him because she too was on that boat when the rains hit and the underground springs let loose.

Also, I think Mary of Mary and Martha is one pretty neat lady. We've talked a lot about her in my Gospels class...and I have never really noticed her before...but I think she is becoming one of my favorite people in the Bible very quickly. If you want to know why, you can ask me. :)

I've also been pondering the fact that I seem to have more thoughts pressing in on my mind on days when I really need to be able to concentrate on homework (ie, today!)...and when thoughts are there, you just can't push them out of the way...well, at least I can't. :)
