happy for every little thing that makes this easier..
praying when driving is such a habit of mine so I did it earlier when picking my daughter up from dance.
I prayed for my friend and her daughter again, still at Sick Kids... my heart breaking for them, life has thrown them so many curveballs in the years I have known them...
praying for the 3 women / families I know personally whose lives have been hit by divorce since it happened to us... all of us have been betrayed and left, for some it is has not even been a year yet...
read something today:
I will lift my eyes to the Maker of the mountains I can’t climb. I will lift my eyes to the Calmer of the oceans raging wild. I will lift my eyes to the Healer of the hurt I hold inside. I will lift my eyes, lift my eyes to You.
tornadoes, hail storms, winter, spring, families, dysfunction, hurt, sunshine, disease, support, abandonment, joy, tears, break-ups, new beginnings, healing, forgiveness, pain, selfishness, humility, pride, love, commitment, loss, disaster, freedom...
and yet always , there He is...
The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
Deuteronomy 31:8
The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed,
a stronghold in times of trouble.
Those who know your name trust in you,
for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.
Psalms 9: 9+10
and there it is... one of my fav passages:
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
2 Corinthians 4: 16-18
believing that if He allows it, since He loves us like no other, it is worth it.. always..
Praise be to HIM #SoliDeoGloria
