My Lord,

Good morning my beautiful Savior.  Yesterday, as I drifted off to sleep, my intentions were to take a nap.  I looked up to the clouds and you were there-faithful and consistent.  Your Glory always makes me smile and I feel so safe.  A security that I've never felt before.  Your comfort and protective wings warm me from the inside out.  I feel like a little girl at times when I speak to you and stare into the heavens.  And when I awoke in the middle of the night, the stars were there.  Once again, faithful and consistent.  Each time I see a star, I think how you named each one and then you named me.  I never really liked my name, but the closer I drew to you, I realized that you named me special, just like the stars.  So now, I love the name Denise! *Big Smile*

Lord, today I have a doctor's appt.  I want to thank you for all the appointments I've had.  The eye exam, dental work and overall physical.  And a special thank you for the care that I received while going back and forth to the Thyroid doctor.  We oftentimes take our health for granted and I don't want to be one of those people.  There are millions without health care and I am grateful and fortunate enough to have it.  I pray that all the care and treatment that I receive will glorify you.  I need to be healthy and strong to accomplish whatever mission(s) you have planned for me.  And in the event that I do become ill, I know and trust that that situation will glorify you also.  I trust and BELIEVE all things are according to your will.  I cannot fret over what may or may not be.  You are the CREATOR and I wouldn't have it any other way.  I am nothing without you.  My life and the very breath that I breathe would have absolutely no purpose without the promise and love you have placed in my heart and in my spirit.  And as I type that very sentence, I am reminded that it's not my life. I belong to you. Please, do as you will.

Eternally yours
