Back again!

As I look at my past 3-5 years I am just amazed at all the things God has seen me through! There is never a day, or hardly even a moment that goes by where I don't thank Him for the grace He has given me! Even on the days that I don't feel like... well when I just feel blawh... I come to a point where I am just so blawh... and just to plain tired to fight, I can find myself stuggling less and less to come to that 'laying down of my burdens'. I am even learning to like those days, because of that lack of energy to fight... Praise God!! I think about this, if God would just allow things to let up a little... But then I realize that if things did I would become once again dependent on myself and my own strength. So I have to take a step back and really look at the happenings of my life as just as what is needed, God knows just what it will take for me to continue to lay everything down, to be facedown... at all moments... I can't even imagine how I could have made it without Him. And I praise Him during the stuggles, knowing He is with me always!!!

  2. The Joy of the Lord oozes out of me!! Awsome!!! You make it sound so...wonderfully messy, like finger painting or making mud pies!! Hey that just gave me another thought about heaven~~ not only will I be with Jesus, dancing with David, having group with Paul, going to lunch with my sisters Ruth, Naomi, Rahab, etc. Marveling over all the stars, planets, etc. But I can also look forward to making mud pies with my grandson and all the other kids at heart!!! I love you!!
