As You well know, Lord, we've been having Internet problems lately. Something -- or someone? -- gobbling up our monthly gigabytes at an "ungobly" pace. (Misspelling intended!) :) Preventing us from accessing the websites we use the most... including this one! After HOURS on the phone with our service provider -- on three separate occasions...
Oh, Lord... You know better than anyone how I have been struggling with my Internet since I started to draft yesterday's post! I had only just begun when I saw a message "Connection lost." I haven't been able to access it since!!! After HOURS on the phone with my Internet Service Provider and web designer,...
Our Love Fest this morning began when I first opened my eyes. You were so close, Lord. How could I not say "I love You" even before I said "Good Morning"? "My Beloved spoke and said to me, 'Arise, My darling, My beautiful one, come with Me.'" (Song of Songs 2:10) We went outside. On...
I love stories like these, Lord! Stories that testify about how You go to any lengths to reach out to us in unmistakable ways! This one involves a woman whose "standard operating procedure" is to run around in the craziness at work, trying to control the uncontrollable. Even as she realizes the futility of her...
There she was. I met her in this same place one year ago. I had not seen her nor talked with her since. But I loved her just the same. She was -- is -- my Forever Sister. And she had come yesterday as Your Ambassador, Lord. Boldly telling people about You without uttering a...
BREAKTHROUGH. Isn't that what happens, Lord, when The Baby finally comes? When New Life bursts onto the scene, to be received with JOY? Just after the Labor Pains are at their worst? By Your amazing grace, Lord, I "got it" this morning. The Breakthrough I so desperately needed. The Realization. The Understanding. I have been in the...
It's Your way, Lord. Because You are Love. And You are The Way. "If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is Love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and...
I had been without a watch for over a month. My "everyday" watch had expired of Old Age. In our Throwaway Society, it would have cost more to repair it than to buy a new one. I decided to do so... soon. In the meantime, I put on my "dress-up" watch. The expensive one I wear...
It was so wonderful to be with my "northern sisters" again. We had been separated for several weeks by our respective travels. We came together again this week... desperate (mostly) for You, Lord. The journeys -- and struggles -- we shared made me even more thankful You have brought us together... for such a time as...
Oh, Lord... Sometimes Your absence is Your greatest kindness. How else could You remind me of my utter hopelessness apart from You? It doesn't take long. This, too, is Your Amazing Grace... isn't it, Lord? A few hours away from You begins to feel like... forever. Thankfully, You're not really gone. "And surely I am...
