This weekend was a fun and relaxing weekend for me. It was interesting as to how many changes happened in the weekend and how flexible I had to be. The flexibility did not only include me but also my boyfriend.

Initially I had planned to spend Friday evening with him at his house in Dallas where he was planning on cooking dinner for me. Then he would take me home sometime on Saturday so that I could possibly attend a new house church.

Then my friend, Erica, talked with me about the Nerium Regional Convention and I realized that that should be a priority in my weekend schedule.

I knew that I would have to persuade my boyfriend that it would be a good thing for me to attend a convention that would take five hours out of the day on Saturday. A day which I had said would be all his. He planned on leaving on Sunday to go see his mother for a week and he wanted to spend quality and quantity time with me before he left.

So I did a bait and switch on him. I told him I would spend Saturday evening with him in addition to Friday evening if he would just let me go to the convention.

He said that was fine and he would do his shopping for the trip while I was at the convention.

I thought I had had everything worked out and I did, until my son called. My son said his Dad had decided that he needed to spend time with his sister so he wanted to stay at my house this weekend. He told me this at the last minute also. UGH!

I was a teensy bit more than perturbed with the last minute change in plans but my son is such a sweetie, I got over the irritation quick.

I called my boyfriend and he was even more perturbed than I was, but he loves my son too so we both got our thinking hats on. Pretty soon we came up with a plan.

The plan was that I would go over to his house on Friday night. He would cook dinner then I would stay over and go to the convention on Saturday. Then after the convention we would drive back over to my house, pick my son up and take him out to dinner and to an IMAX showing of Spiderman.

Then we would spend the night again and come back home very early on Sunday so that my boyfriend could leave at the crack of dawn to go to his mothers house in Iowa.

This was all good but it still left my boyfriend with a lot of things to do for his trip and little time to do all of the things.

He was pretty stressed when he dropped me off at the convention. When he picked me up from the convention he had a big smile on his face.

He told me as I got into the car that he was going to leave on Monday instead of Sunday. He said he had been so stressed out and then he heard God say two words, “Leave Monday.” He went on to say there was no reason why he had to leave on Sunday and when he heard that voice it just made all the sense in the world for him to delay the trip a day.

He released his stress and we had a glorious weekend praising God for His counsel. God is a God who cares not only for the big things but also the little things. It is many times the little things which can create a big mess if they are not orchestrated by God and who wants a big mess?

I am so thankful to God for His love for my boyfriend and my boyfriends love for me. It is like standing in the midst of the most glorious waterfall of love, just soaking up the refreshing spray of kindness and compassion. The most wonderful part of the waterfall is seeing the smiles on the faces of my children when the water of love splashes into their lives.

Take all of your cares to God for He cares for you and step into a waterfall of love.
