I woke with an overwhelming feeling that had me in tears. I cannot quite describe to someone the feeling though I felt this before. Thoughts started flooding in and I wrote this down.
A long-awaited time.
As it goes by
with anticipation.
I long to see your face.
As when my husband
returned from a trip.
Oh, what glory
You have for those
who love You.
VLB 10.23.26
Did you ever long for something so deeply that the anticipation became almost hard to wait for?
I was looking in my husband's old Bible and opened to a few underlined verses, this is nothing new for me to do and, he was an avid reader who loved studying in the Word. His Bible (s) is full of underlined verses. I opened nonchalantly - the binding came apart to Ezekiel 1 and 2, and looked at verses he underlined. The lined verse that hit home was about the likeness of God's glory.
"Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. When I saw it, I fell facedown, and I heard the voice of one speaking." Ezekiel 1: 28 NIV
I'm not saying I'm Ezekiel, and there is so much to unpack in there, It is just a feeling I had. Can you imagine how he must have been feeling when seeing what he saw? Sometimes when I think about how close God is to those He loves and the glory of what He has for those He loves who love Him. It does bring tears. I believe all who have given their hearts to Him do or will feel that way. Maybe ~ But as I re-read what I wrote I started to cry with an overwhelming sense for something coming. I know He is always with me through His Holy Spirit, this was different.
I'll wait with anticipation for His return or before that happens. We do read things, His words, in the Bible stating endurance with anticipating, eagerly waiting His return. Even when the storms that seem to much; He does and will get us through them by faith.
Is He living in you? Are you eagerly waiting?
For you have died (to this life), and your (real) life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. Colossians 3:3-4 ESV (NLT)
so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him. Hebrews 9:27-28 ESV
All throughout the Bible you read about those who've wrestled with God, we do as well and we can learn many things for living here today reading His words. Paul is one that we often hear about and the trails he endured. I don't believe we can say the same - however we too have a fight to fight and a race to finish.
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing. 2 Timothy 4:7-8 ESV
Amen
With a side note here:
I realize today you might be overwhelmed with what to do next in this life. Fight the good fight of faith, run the race with endurance, truth the for your life and that of your household, stay in the word and let's eagerly wait for His appearing - however, short or long that might be.

As with every year summer comes to an end. This summer, and I'm thrilled to say past, was a summer I could hardly wait for it to be over! It met with all the challenges of most summers in a dry desert but in particular newer challenges seemed to be thrown into the pot. And where does one begin to go when you seem to be stuck in a holding cell - metaphorically speaking - or should I say a pot that just continues to get stir with seemingly no real results; at least maybe none visible.
The past few summers had been pretty hot with this summer being particularly hot causing our little orchard to struggle. It started out looking like we would have a good amount of fruit, apricots, peaches and nectarines - there was nothing! It was struggling from the previous three summers - so was I, I'm sure some older folk heard the phrase, worn to a frazzle before. My dad hadn't been well, then had hip surgery at 92, I would joke and say his hobby is now my new hobby, I also seem to be on the run with 4-wheels as well . . . Bottom line, I had neglected most of its care and worked hard just keeping the trees alive. I am happy to say what did make it and has quite a bit of fruit is the Pomegranates. They do well over all in the desert and are tolerant in the climate we've been dealing with. I weighed one that split - needless to say was blown away with its size. The entire bush has a plethora of sizes growing but to my surprise this morning and as beautiful as the pomes have been looking, some nasty bird has been gutting them from behind and out of sight from how I was viewing.
1-lb.3oz not to shabby, not quite ready on the right I got the day before.
This is what I found this morning with several I launched into the chicken yard with a few happy chicks waiting! As in most things - that aren't necessarily visible to us we tend to see a snippet of what is there unless it is revealed by taking a closer look, a better look.
Okay next day and around 6AM.
Red Pome and White Pome below.
On a different note as I always look for a teaching moment, the truth can be in front of us but our perception can be off, God's perception is much larger; we see the snippet, sometimes by choice, my dad would tell me sometimes that he isn't very observant, in fact we see what we want to see for whatever reason. Not everyone, but some - I've heard many reasons over the course of my life as why they aren't seeing clearly with one I've thought of a lot, "I just can't be bothered," with the most recent, "I'm not sure I really care." I understand that not everyone is perceptive- or cares, or can see the anomaly in things as my friend and I have spoken off many times. I believe this to be a gift God gives through His Holy Spirit. But some food for thought here, for the believer in Christ as they grow daily in Him step back to look at the over-all picture and gain a better perspective and perception of what He is doing and wanting you to know or learn.
All making me think of a song sung years ago by Amy Grant, "Fathers Eyes." A sweet friend sang that to me one Sunday in church when my boys were just babies, it was beautiful and I never forgot. But with our relationship that brings us closer we can hopefully start seeing through our Fathers eyes. - Rambling Vik ~
Now moving right along with the close of summer in review, I was a bit sidetracked (okay a lot) trying to play catch- up ~
September 30,
We did get a couple decent rains with a little flash flooding over the property. I can't begin to express how happy this makes me. We have been walking in draught conditions for some time. Though had a couple decent rains; good downers with a little flooding which disappeared almost as fast as it came through. For several years we have had small flooding issues since our little wash had some debris - flowed from the neighbors etcetera and across the property here, it happens. We are hopeful that the bit the county did and with help from the neighbor hiring a guy with backhoe, this recent storm (yesterday and today) wouldn't pose a problem and of this morning taking a good look it worked well. So, I'm happy and hopeful the rest of this day - throughout will be good.
Before the backhoe shots.
Being worn to a frazzle - is something you do not want to engage in. It happens though it can also build up overtime - boundaries are important and trusting the Lord for wisdom is valuable - you also may know what you are to do and don't, and feeling frazzled is also a phrase as well when you are seemingly stuck and complaining all while knowing God the Father is bring you through. I count on this as a widow I trust Him and His word. Just as He promises.
Not my normal ramble - Though you might get something out of it! lol Remember some things just aren't that important - - prayers and blessings to all.
5/12/09 4;47AM (When I started this draft to post)
So far May has been filled with mixed emotions and some events – also upcoming events for next month. For the most part my thoughts are happy ones that’s been intertwined with some sad.
For instance earlier this month I was reminded of when I was younger and going to church with my grandparents, while singing that old hymn - “What A Friend We Have In Jesus,” mostly these days we sing current/contemporary songs but I do enjoy singing old hymns once in awhile.
I realize some might not care for it but they sometimes make me teary eyed – happy/sad.
What a Friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear. What a privilege to carry, ev'rything to God in Prayer. O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, All because we do not carry, ev'rything to God in Prayer.
And, it’s not just this hymn it’s any that rockets be back to the Church of Christ. I have so many fond memories of when my brother and I attended; with no surprise to me that I feel as I do when I hear the old hymns. All the songs were sung 'A capella' (without instruments) it was beautiful, my grandpa sure loved to sing; and sang everywhere! Then at church I started thinking of a little black pocket Bible.
I haven’t thought of it in quite some time maybe it was that my birthday was coming up – and you might ask what did that have to do with anything. I’ll explain why. This little pocket Bible I believed belonged to my grandpa Baker. I don’t know how I came to acquired it, I had it for many years and I’m sad to say I know longer have it with me. I sure remember it though; it was a New Testament Bible, black and I think possibly leather bond with a small emblem of silver or gold on the bottom right corner. The most important part to me and where my birthday comes (and I should add my brothers also – since we were born on the same day 4 years apart) into play is at the back of the book was a page with a prayer of commitment. You could fill in the blanks as you prayed. Giving his life to the Lord on May 10, 1958 and signed at the bottom of the page was Lawrence David Baker, my grandpa – and on my first birthday. Not knowing it then but what an awesome gift to me(us) and to be able to see him again one day is an added bonus.
It's something how one memory can lead to so many more, whether it may be happy or sad. Like in the song we might be holding on to sad things in our lives. For interest:
The old hymn was written in 1855 by Joseph Scriven (b.1820-d.1886) and was originally published anonymously; Scriven did not receive full credit for writing it for nearly 30 years. It was said that Scriven wrote it as a poem to provide comfort to his mother in her time of special sorrow and hardship; not intending anyone else should see it. The world has surly been blessed with its comforting words, I know I've been blessed by it. I also read that the author was too, as he had times of sorrow and grief in his life as well.
Our family has faced many sad events in our time and of most recent was having to say good-bye (for now) to a deeply loved family member. My husband's (Jim) step-father (his name is also Jim) died earlier this month; he had been fighting cancer for quite awhile. He was the one who raised my husband his role model for life, and the one whom he had always referred to has his Dad. We'll miss him dearly, we didn't want him to go, but knowing how much he loved the Lord, we know where he is.
Last week I saw a book in a Christian book store about death and how it’s not the end of one's life, as so many want to believe. I know a number of people that believe this way -- that when they die they are "just no more," they cease to exist. Jim said that "it's what they're hoping for, because they don't want to face the reality of heaven or hell."
Wouldn't it be wonderful to have the assurance that when your time comes you know you will be in a much better - a most wonderful - place called heaven? To be able to be reunited with those you miss and love again. You might be thinking that it's not so - - but how do you know? What if there truly is such a place, you surely wouldn't what to miss it. Would you?
I don't have a little New Testament to give you with a fill in the blank page. You really don't need it anyway.
Jesus say's "Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me." Rev 3:20
This verse reminds me of another memory. When my eldest son was around 3 years old we were setting on our living room, I was watching some minister on TV and he read this verse never saying what it was about. My son said to me, “Mommy, Jesus is knocking at my door.” I replied, “He is.” Then asked him where his door was and he replied pointing to his chest, “In My heart!”
Jesus doesn't ask, nor expect, you to put on any special clothes, or to bring out the best china and silver for dinner. He doesn't even ask what's for dinner, he just wants to sit down and break bread with you, just as you are. Why? Because He loves you just as you are, He wants to be your friend; why not open the door and dine with Him?
O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry, ev'rything to God in Prayer.
Sometimes I do hold on to things that I shouldn’t as I’m sure you do, and it eats at you. Then I’m reminded I do have someone to take things to. He is Faithful. He has blessed me this month so far more than you know and in the most wonderful ways. We aren’t even through this month.
Next month we’ll be celebrating our son getting married. We won’t have family there just us and his brothers - it’s too far and I’m sure it’s costly. But, I’ll be breaking out the tissue and recording another memory for my thoughts to hold dear and to share.
My birthday was on Mother’s Day this year - I have three blessing I always hold dear.
~
Fast forward to today this morning 17 years later I am finishing this draft I believe just might have ben meant for today.
Same sentiment and holiday / birthday combined. You could say still a mixed emotion May, with good memories and blessing mixed with sad. Somethings didn't work out as we hoped over the years - but isn't that how it is sometimes. God brought me/us through it all and will continue. We have suffered losses, and loved ones over the years, we've also been blessed living through good times and bad - let's be honest. But God by his grace has blessed this family - I do believe what Paul wrote years ago "I can do all things through him who strengthens me."
O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry, ev'rything to God in Prayer.
How true this is why would you want to make things harder on yourself than what you may experience in this temporary life? Let go. . . I love how my pastor shares and one phrase I shared myself recently, "the things we should remember we forget and the things we should forget we remember."
I glad I saw this drafted that need posting - wow 17 years gone by, the memory of my mom's dad and his little black pocket Bible. I'm also holding on to this verse:
"Sir, what must I do to be saved?" And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household." Acts 16:30-31
I hope all mom's everywhere had a blessed mom's day, believing for you and your family, God's grace is everything it's sufficient - trust Him for the out whatever you might have on your plate today - and if He's knocking at your door, my at the time 3 year old said where that door is at. ♡
I wished I had one of my grandpa's recording of him singing - I still hear him in my memories and I'll hear him again. Amen ~
Return, O Lord! How long? Have pity on your servants! Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. Psalm 90:13-14 ESV
My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments, for length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you. Proverbs 3:1-2 ESV.
JMB
So, what is time we so need?
Accept that which we ran out of.
What is so important about it,
That we should spend it wisely ~
For we are but a vapor,
a mist that is here then gone.
Is there such as, "time well spent?"
The older I am I so wish to number my days wisely ~
As it's been said,
What does man gain by all the toil
at which he toils under the sun? (Ecc. !:3)
As a hopefully wise person has said. . .
Maybe, just the mood I'm in or fighting with allergies this time of the year. But looking at what's important in life and what we all seem to take for granted. Since we do miss loved ones, think on spending valued time wisely recognizing what truly is important, while we are here.
Prior to 'celebrating' the New Year, I watched a Chuck Missler's teaching, The Christmas Story (in two parts). I enjoyed the study and learned some things I didn't know and a few I hadn't thought of in sometime. In part two he shared a poem he wrote, My King, he titled it for this lesson, My Coming King, I will post a link below you can check it out for yourself, here I'll share a short bit of the poem.
My King
He is the King of the Jews
He is the King of Israel
But He’s also
King of all the Ages;
King of Heaven;
King of Glory;
King of Kings;
…and Lord of Lords.
When I watched and listened to him read his poem he added this right where I stopped. . .
Do you know Him?
Do you really?
Those two questions caught my attention - it should cause everyone to think of where they are in their walk (relationship) with God. Over the yearsI've had people say to me about another's faith, saying, "they aren't Christian," believing they are this way or another (I told them I can't say that). It is entirely possible they did ask the Lord into their lives and somewhere something happened to cause them to go backwards or not forwards. I know some who were instantly changed and some who hadn't for whatever reason. I know children who gave their lives to the Lord, some went onward strong others not. But they still accepted the Lords gift.
For some their faith seems weak or is it? . . . Maybe they are battling things only known to them, or war-faring on their own to break what holds them not realizing or understanding we have someone strong on our side. . And, maybe they haven't truly excepted Gods free gift that is possible; for I know some found out later they hadn't and believed they had.
What do you believe about your faith and walk - if you do have a relationship with Him? Is it possible that a person is afraid to fully give their lives to Him thinking they will not have their own control over their lives? Is it possible the thought of yielding to God means you are losing yourself per-se?
I believe you will always still be you in personally and even characteristics, but become a better version of yourself as He saw you in the beginning, even before you were born. What are you trusting Him for today?
We either need to give our life to Him, trusting in Him or we already have and still need to yield to Him to live free from bondage we might be living under. Keeping in mind here, there is someone in control in your life letting you believe you are. Possibly lying and causing you to believe wrong. We do have free will that God allows giving us a freedom of choice. - Is He waiting on you to yield? If you are afraid it's not what you think.
For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. Galatians 5:1 ESV
I believe we might have a time or two in all our lives when we've prayed and felt as God isn't listening or doesn't care. THAT COULN'T BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH.
You have died with Christ, and he has set you free from the spiritual powers of this world. So why do you keep on following the rules of the world, . . . Colossians 2:20 NLT
Is it fair to blame God for something we aren't 'ready' (by choice) or willing to trust Him for? So as Chuck Missler had asked the questions:
Do you know Him?
Do you really?
Maybe it would be better to ask where are you in this relationship and are you really trusting Him today? I know in my own life it is sometimes easier to trust Him for others and have some doubt in mine. It doesn't have to remain this way. In fact I trust Him for the validity of scripture, His word stands true. Though my husband and I both did everything we knew to and prayed over and over for a healing, I wanted him to be here with me. He still died prematurely; Yet I still believe what the word says about healing, believing He still heals today. I trust and not just for the the couple reasons listed. When looking back at my life He has ALWAYS been there and I see what He has carried me through and continues.
Oh ~ The Argument - is the one that you have with your thoughts, arguing with yourself, a battle, between the truth of God's word that which His Holy Spirit is confirming and the lies that Satan would have you believe. Just a thought.
As we head into a brand New Year, people for the most part if they haven't already begun making resolutions, some make it towards their goals, others only break them with disappointed, and to be truthful some make them knowing they break them. :) I don't know if you are one of them, which ever. I would encourage you if you do make one grab a Bible verse that you can grow daily with or make a point to seek the Lord more, go to a Bible study or start one, there are any number of things you can do that would grow your relationship with Him. I don't make them myself but for several years I've chosen this verse.
Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, (and sisters), I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. . . Philippians 3:13-14 ESV
Know that God isn't looking so much for perfection as much as He's looking for progress. It's a thought and one a pastor in Ohio shared. I like it!
. . . Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you. Philippians 3:15 ESV
This is just my thoughts here to share with those who are reading and following this blog. It has always been my intent to encourage others, not exasperate, yes it is a strong word, however to many today fill pressure from life, most from choices made trying to change their situation on their own thinking it is all they have to rely on. If anything shifting our thoughts towards the truth of God's word and know that He is as close as a call, whether you asked Him already into your heart and still relying on what you can do for you (the argument) or will ask Him in today. Do let this year go by as the last with disappoints let's start today by exercising that measure of faith He has given us all of us to grow.
"Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I now declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them." Isaiah 42:9 ESV
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 2 Corinthians 5:17 ESV
As another Fall season comes to close new is on the horizon. Just as the deep sleep of Winter - a refreshing will come in the Spring. The old passing away with new things to come.
Let old things go, drop all that hinders you like the leaves dropping off the once full trees. The Lord's mercies are new every morning and great is His constant grace and faithfulness to all of us who believe,
I had been longing for moisture (a good rain) since July 16, 2016. In fact,I attempted to write a post then (and on 10.18 with finally after it rained and now since almost a month later!) it just got way from me . . side tracked again! For the past two years prior, almost to the day, I could barely stand it! We only seemed to be teased with nothing to write home about as my gram would say. - Yes, I was longing for beautiful moisture.
I could talk a lot about living in a desert - hot and dry, with this year I used the term dehydrating frequently! Everything was aching for moisture, I think especially me. I also was sharing; how bad is it when you see possible cumulus clouds and any rain in them you would only see evaporate before hitting the ground or bringing tears to my eyes only to see it pass by.
Then, finally ~
My recent long awaited pics ~ Afternoon shot the start ~ 1:15 10.12. 2025
Morning 6:30 next day ~
5:33 PM
We had two days of beautiful rain! Keep in mind many in AZ have had to much and are still cleaning up; some lost property, pets, and suffered other damage. Yet for years we have been in the shadows of rain, having none that actually makes an impact with what we need keeping draught at bay. The last rain I logged was September 16, 24 Anticipating - the last rain like in shots above, September 15, 2014.
But what is it about moisture most long for - I long for?
Maybe it is more of a spiritual longing for refreshing or maybe both ~
Being truthful here -- I love rain!
When sharing in my recent post "Anticipated Time" everything from heat - dry and lack of rain doesn't seem to help this time of the year and all the beauty one may expect. And, just as nature is preparing for Winter's rest and renewal in the Spring - we also long for that renewal - "refreshing" from moisture as well.
Do you long for a refreshing? Your strength renewed?
"But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:31 NIV
This is what I love about Autumn/Fall (harvest time) Moisture ~ We should always take time for rest, like we sometimes feel at this time of the year, a quiet peace, now when you add rain to that - you feel refreshed from a dry dehydrating draught feeling - a breather :) And, in particular I really needed a breather over the past 3 summers helping my dad and this year my dad had hip surgery at 92 it was a long eight months. I am so thankful he is doing so much better.
That's how I feel with moisture and Autumn. Rested -Refreshed - Renewed. Thankful ~
I have so many started posts I haven't been able to finish. These now "drafts" have been in my try to finish mode. But when you get sidetracked, you seem to loose what you were originally thinking in the first place and where it was going, now not even sounding close to the same. This has happened to me several times over the years. Though, there are times when it turns out just right and maybe what the intent was to be all along. But for today . . . now tomorrow . . .
. . . putting that aside - I'm now on to this newer post, the others will need to wait. :)
So without a show of hands, how many of you have the USPS Informed delivery app.? When I was away - physically, I noticed this app my daughter n law was using and decided I would give it a go. When you are away - or for whatever reason - it's nice to know what mail will be delivered, whether it's envelope or package. I found it to be very useful whether you live in a good, bad or out in the middle of no where kind of neighborhood. :)
This 'app' is of course on my cell where I check it mostly. I also receive informed delivery in my email daily (occasionally). So, recently as of the past several days, I haven't been able to log in. Over the past three day's I tried coming up with a new password. :/ Four in fact!!!
I received this email from USPS:
This email is being sent to inform you that someone has tried multiple times to access your account on line. Each access attempt has failed and for your protection, your account will be locked or made unavailable for the next 24 hours.
Instead of waiting the 24 hours to have the account unlocked, you are welcome to use the Forgot your Password function found at _ You will need to provide your user name and answer to your secret question (s) before a new temporary password will be provided.
And, what was my response?
Yes.....IT HAS BEEN ME!!!!
I did try their suggestions it didn't work. In fact, It would respond with someone already has that user name! Then I wasn't even being recognized at all. I ended up "creating" a new long in - different email - and after SEVERAL attempts with a new password one was finally acceptable. I like my old login but I guess if I like the use of the app. I'll be ok with it all, but what a time suck!
I surely hope you don't have to deal with the same.
Which now brings me to a quick word on "PASSWORDS." There are so many passwords being used that you have to be so creative and if you don't log it - it's truly hard to remember. I have so many, I dislike logging into any of the internet sites I use. But unfortunately it is so much - 'to' to much apart of our lives. I truly admire those that are free from it but when I was gone I came to rely on the internet for research, bills, a lot other needed things other than 'media.'
Okay a recent, as of yesterday, note here, As shared I am no longer using my original login for USPS, as stated they no longer recognize it. Hence - my new login acct. I am now receiving emails to my old acct. and my new ~
I guess some things you just need to laugh off or be irritated.
This morning, as my sibs and I try to text Good Morning, I sent this out.
The sun rises, and the sun goes down, and hastens to the place where it rises. Ecclesiastes !:5 ESV(I tell my sister all days seem to run together like reliving the same day, ARGH!)
I will add another wise verse from the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
What has been is what will be, and what has been done, and there is nothing new under the sun. Ecclesiastes 1:9 ESV
And, if there is a moral here to be learned and I'm sure you who might be reading can think of one that could apply to something you are dealing with, let it be the importance of letting go, maybe with a little much needed laughter resting your mind of daily non-essential things that just seem to clutter our lives. - a big reminder to myself.
And, just because -
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whoever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me_ practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4:8-9 ESV. Just another good reminder to me ~
But I will sing of your strength; I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning. For you have been to me a fortress and a refuge in the day of my distress. Psalm 59:16 ESV
It is good to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praises to your name, O Most High; to declare your steadfast love in the morning, and your faithfulness by night. Psalm 92:1-2 ESV
Ok two.
In the first scripture, the word distress is sometimes written as trouble or adversity like difficulties depending on the version you read. My time has been taken in a sense by stepping in again to help care for someone I care about who has been trying to heal after surgery. It surely has been a challenge for me and has left me somewhere in a place I find difficult to be in. It isn't that I can't it's that the person is demanding at times and there hasn't been any room for me.
I'm so thankful God is my refuge and His word hidden in my heart ~ I also had the best beautiful blessing to start my day a part of a favorite song sung and sent by audio text - Way Maker. He is certainly that and more. So with all the happenings that are not so pleasant, I know He makes a way when their doesn't seem to be one or when some of my thoughts come out like above. :)
