God has been using the book of Hosea as a metaphor for what He's doing in my all throughout college. From the stripping part, to the romancing part, almost every part has defined my life. Most times, I think I resent it. I wish it was more that I was grateful for the intimacy He's inviting me into, but for the last 3 years I've been feeling the pain and loss of what He's taken away...and I haven't been mature or strong enough to be able to say "The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away. Praise be the name of the Lord". I wish I was. I hope to come more into a place where I allow him to lead me in the wilderness and speak tenderly to me. I think that's the next step. It's only one small verse, but it's nuts to think how long it might take. But this is where David would tell me to "Be strong, Take heart, and hope in the Lord". I will try David. I will try.
