stuck like glue...

You and me, baby...we're stuck like glue! Okay, I have this thing where I get "stuck" on a song and will play it over and over and over. My most recent song obsession is sugarland's, stuck like glue. I absolutely love this song and needless to say my boys know it almost word for word as well since I burn cds almost daily and play then in the 3 disc cd changer. So, the other day it happened to be just Bryan and I at home, I was standing at the kitchen sink doing dishes with the volume cranked and shaking my groove thing and belting it out and the top of my lungs when Bryan asked, "are we stuck like glue?" Okay, for those of you who know us, we go back and forth with this little persnickety banter all the time...my response, "No, baby, we are more stuck like a piece of dried up chewing gum plastered underneath a restaurant table." He laughs and I laugh and we go on with our routine, you know the one where the wife does everything and the husband sits on the couch and holds it down and securely grips the remote control. :)

Later that night, after the kids are in bed and we are all cuddled up on the couch, I began soaking it up. Here I am laying here, wrapped up in his arms, legs tangled like a pretzel watching swamp monsters. (well, he was watching swamp monsters, I was looking at the tv, but I was really singing my stuck like glue song in my head. :) ) Then, it hits me like a ton of bricks...we are stuck like glue! Here we sit, in the home we have built together, in the next room we have two amazing gifts from God, who link us together for life and most importantly we have each other and the love that burns inside of us for one another.

Last night , we went to the pm service at our home church. There was a speaker, he is an awesome man who tells you what you need to hear. The things he says, scares me and I need that. We cannot get too comfortable in our walk with Jesus. It is not once saved, always saved. We need to be rapture ready at any given moment. I know I struggle with my walk of faith. I want to be closer to Him than I ever have been and could ever dream of being. So, I decided that me and Jesus are....yep, you guessed it, we are stuck like glue! (I hope my husband will be alright being stuck to me like a rubbery piece of chewing gum since Jesus is the glue that binds me.) I only have Him to thank for the chance to have my husband and my boys, He has blessed me with more than I could imagine and I plan to be His faithful and good servant until He calls me home. So, in the end, I guess we are stuck like glue! :) ( I know what you are thinking...I know, I know, I think I am the only one whose mind is so backwards and silly that I take a country song about a woman stalking a man and apply to my life.) I am a Jesus follower, not stalker. The difference? Jesus loves me and wants me to follow him and his will, just remember..."whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved."
