December 12 (more) Lord, today I looked at the Haiti pictures that K___ took… sure gave my heart strings a bit of a tug… wow, couldn’t believe the hospital kitchen and lab facilities.. so poor and decrepit…. Lord, I don’t even know what use I’d be if I sent somewhere as a missionary?? I always assumed I . . . → Read More: Pondering about poverty and wealth Lord, thank You so much – I used to panic about a lot of things so easily… and though sometimes I still do, it is a lot less often, and very often if it happens, I can calm down really quickly – and sometimes even formally stop and turn it over to You right then… but . . . → Read More: Notes from Nov 13: learning not to panic: trusting You The thing is, I’m also second-guessing: was I really meant to get this job? Because a month ago I really felt like I was just supposed to do my writing, and relax and let hubby work… but then he didn’t seem to get much work, so I’m thinking maybe I’m supposed to do some work after . . . → Read More: Notes from October 23: Second-guessing about this job.. and taking it to Jesus, finally It’s almost a full month since I’ve blogged… well, that’s not exactly true… I’ve been writing in my journal, but it’s true: I really am a pen-’n-paper-mama, even if I do love my computer.

Good morning! Here I am! And here You are!! It just flashed upon me this morning that now, when I don’t “feel” Your Presence instantly, I still know You are here… I don’t find I have to “screw up” my “belief” by “convincing” myself mentally… and I . . . → Read More: stories and answered prayers [big hug] Papa! Jesus! Sarayu (Wind)! I just woke up this New Year morning feeling finally free to address You with names that a child uses freely to address her beloved Father; and free to address the One who loves her so much that He has given His very life for her so that He is indeed . . . → Read More: dancing and laughter |
