What a WONDERFUL day it has been!!! An intimate time at Your feet this morning. A long list of tasks on my work and home "To Do" lists checked off. Some key actions taken to further "touch" a few of those "Divine Appointments" You have orchestrated. A happy kitty who, with a fair amount of freedom outside...
You and I have been in a conversation together for the past ten days. A life-and-death conversation. This conversation became necessary because I had "let my guard down"... ever so slightly. As a result, I was beginning to "dabble" in "old patterns." "It's no big deal," I theorized. I was wrong. Suddenly, the "dabbling" became a portal...
Lord, Lord, Lord... Aside from just soaking in Your Presence, there's nothing I enjoy more than the gift of serving You. By Your Amazing Grace, today You gave me just such an opportunity -- a Divine Appointment You had planned long ago. We went to church in the town of Madison this morning. A Methodist Church. We...
I must say: Life with You -- "walking by faith" -- is The Adventure of a Lifetime! What are the metaphors that apply to what happened today? Something that could radically change my future? Being thrown a curve ball? Thrown for a loop? By something that came out of left field? I like the baseball analogy. ...
Weeds. They had taken over our herb garden in the thirteen+ weeks we were gone. The herbs had largely disappeared, but the weeds were THRIVING. Some of them had grown several feet tall... like mini-trees, complete with branches. I spent a fair amount of today pulling those weeds up... and planting new herbs. Out with the...
Oh, Abba... You're so Amazing. Surprising... yet Predictable. "In my distress I called to the Lord; I cried to my God for help... He heard my voice... He reached down from on high and took hold of me; He drew me out of deep waters." (Psalm 18:6,16) You didn't wait long to send me Your...
I know just how You must have felt when You looked into the eyes of those whose hearts were hard towards You. I have looked into so many of those eyes -- the windows to the soul -- and seen those hard hearts. I saw a lot of them just last night. We were at...
Lord, Lord, Lord... You are so KIND to me!!! I went to a luncheon today with lots of women!!! (As You know, we do this once a month, to "network" and encourage each other). There were at least eighty women there today -- some I know well and love dearly... some I met today for the first time... others were there...
You showed me my heart today. Funny how clearly I could see it... when, at the time, I was driving through a dense fog. I was on my way to Tampa for my second six-month check-up... this one, with the oncologist. The fog was so thick, I could hardly see the road ahead of me....
"Get busy living..." I haven't yet sorted through the 2,700+ photos I took in The Land of the Midnight Sun. (Yes, it really was sunny at midnight... Weird!!! :) ] I finally got through the 250+ emails that were stacked up in my Inbox. Many were junkmail... some were treasures. One treasure was sent to...
