He reached for my hand and said, "Baby, you are gonna get the whole package!"

The whole package? Really? I don't have to settle? You are not holding back on me? Honestly? Because I have been hearing that maybe you don't love me like you say,and You are holding back on me. Maybe You have forgotten about me or decided not to finish with me and I just get what I need on my own. But if You mean what You say, and I'm gonna get the whole package...then I will wait...Wait on You...

Waiting is not my specialty at all. Matter of fact I think the line for patience was so long I just moved on to the next thing. So lately I am trying to protect my mind in Christ Jesus, but in order to do that I need to go to Him and then He protects my mind. Happy New Year...I was with a friend in the hospital a while ago. We were holding hands after surgery with grateful hearts and he said something that made me think about God...We were talking about New Years Eve and I was asking if I could get a kiss and maybe we could grab a bite that night, if he was feeling better by then. He was in for unexpected surgery with no family in town, so he was stuck with me to help him. Yea, I know, what was God thinking?? :) Anyway, he responded with a glint in his over medicated eyes, Baby you are going to get the "whole package". I thought *Wow!* He went on to say, we would get dressed up, go to a nice dinner and maybe some dancing! And he promised I would get a kiss! This got me to thinking about God and what He has for me, as my friend was still so tired because he had just come up from recovery, he fell back to sleep. So I sat with him and considered, God and what His "whole package" looks like for me. Hmmm...well He does know all my hearts desires, and He does love me more that I can imagine, so I wonder.....what is in His mind for me? I need more time to consider this....In the meantime, it was cool to wait with my friend as he recovered. I was able to spend time with God while sitting and waiting for my friend to wake up. It's funny how holding hands with a close friend, while they sleep brings my mind to God and how He chose me to be there. Maybe that is part of the total package for me. Getting to be there, just Be there for a friend, it certainly made my heart full. So the package isn't one thing, it's dinner, dancing and a kiss! And God could have other choices too, that can be added on as I go!
