JoyJoyJoy




Here we are again, just jumping in a different place.

I guess I am a "lamenter", thanks be to God for that. It is the lamenting that has brought me closer to Him. I have the joy always, no matter what the circumstances, but today a bonus of being in my "happy place". Flowers, orangescicle sunsets, breezes through pines, that's all it takes.

"Lament is not a path to worship, but the path of worship. "

There is a time to weep

Revealing Healing


How do we heal? Uncovering the source of our hurts and confusion is the first step.

I want God to reveal the purpose.
I want to know what the next step is, and the one after that.
And then I want a full explanation of why it all had to be and what is supposed to come of it!
No, it won't be that way. But I trust Him. I will just continue to follow, blindly, knowing He is in control.
All will be revealed in His time, not mine.

God, I say this earnestly wanting to follow blindly, but do I? God, help me with my unbelief. Help me to truly trust you, not to worry about tomorrow.

Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet you

heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?

...But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Matthew 6:26-34
