1 Kings 21:25 There was no one like Ahab who had chosen so often to do what the Lord said was wrong, because his wife Jezebel influenced him to do evil.

I stopped here at the scripture today because it made me think: whose "Jezebel" am I? Or, who are the "Jezebels" in my life, influencing me away from the Lord. I am already at risk of sinning every day of my own accord, and I surely do not need anyone in my life helping me out in that area. This is why it is so important to make sure the people I hang with are people who I trust to build me up, call me to be better, even when that makes me uncomfortable. Lately I have found myself pretty well out of touch with people. Oh, I have made plans here and there, and kept busy with the boys doing fun things, but I just have not had the kind of one-on-one fellowship with another Christian lady or mommy that I have had in the past. And... while I am hoping that the Lord blesses me with some new mommy friends soon, I am okay with Him taking His time. I am okay with waiting, enjoying my kids and my time alone (even though sometimes that does seem to drag on and on.) I want to make sure that the people I invite into my life are the quality kind of people who are going to help me grow in my spiritual journey, as a woman, a mommy, a daughter, and a wife. I want also to be that friend to those I meet and engage with.

So, I will wait. I will go to church, take the kids out, play at the park with them. I will enjoy my time in God's Word and at Bible study. I will get all the stuff around the house done that I want to. I will talk to the hubs whenever I have the opportunity. And... I will wait on the Lord to help me see my new friends in His time and with His eyes.
