Jobina did a post today that ended with her asking what anyone else's misconceptions about God were. I wrote a comment on it and because the topic has been so much on my mind and heart, and what I have been blogging about, I wanted to include it here.
I often have the misconception that God is keeping record, a tally sheet of sorts, of what I do and do not do. I know this is why the past 6 months or so my faith is being turned upside down, because it is finally sinking in that this isn't so. God wants a relationship with me more than anything else. It would be like me keeping track of what R does all the time and telling him that if he doesn't measure up, I will not want a relationship with him. Yet instead, DH and I marvel each day about him and the joy that he is and the way he brings laughter and a tremendous love into our lives. Can you imagine, God up in heaven saying, "Hey Gabriel, look what RLE did today. That lady is amazing, I am so glad that I made her!" Makes me want to cry just thinking about it!

"Hey Gabriel, check out the woman God gave me to do life with. Not only is she amazing, and a total hottie, but I just checked the warehouse and apparently the Big Guy threw out the mold when he was done with her. I checked the record book twice Gabe, and she is one of a kind"
