My Lord,
I know your word. I always, always feel your presence and yet, (lately) I've been feeling anxious. Can't really narrow it down, but My Lord, you know! Father, thank you for being patient with me and for #knowing me.
This morning was such a quiet ride. I was thinking that I should pray and couldn't quite put the words together, so I was just quiet. In my heart and in my mind, I was thanking you and asking you to quiet my anxious thoughts ... and there you appeared, immediately, there was a flash of lightening...quiet and profound. I began to cry quiet tears and then...I began to wonder if it was suppose to rain and going to rain and just as I glanced at the clock to see if I'd be able to hear the weather report, you appeared again. Yes, another quiet, bright and profound display of lightening and confirmation that you heard me and you still know me.
How amazing that I read a devotion last night in my bible that spoke of the very same thing; being completely known by you. WOW!
Thank you!
And speaking of "thank you..." I want to thank you for Saturday. I had an awesome time with T and the girls. I thank you that I was able to take my mom her Mother's Day gift and that she got to see them before we went to lunch. I thank you that we didn't have any difficulties driving in the rain and I thank you that my gran-girls love you.
Thank you for the continually provisions....gas, food, shelter, clothing, wisdom, grace, forgiveness, patience, insight, knowledge and so, so much more!
Thank you that church was awesome and that Melanie loved her gift. Thank you for Pastor Wagner's awesome message and that you use him to minster to my heart and to strengthen my walk of faith! Thank you that we have the best Choir in all of Southern, Maryland! "It's so true!"
Thank you that I had the entire Mother's Day to do whatever I wanted, to include sleeping til about 12:30 pm. Alex called and as always, we had such a delightful and insightful conversation. He was saying how he saw many, many people lined up to go into the cemetery and how he reflected upon his life and felt such gratitude. He was grateful that he had two mommy's and that he dad is saved and serving you. He sent me a YouTube video dedicating a song to me. "Boyz to Men's song titled- Momma." Yes, I cried! He is my blissful son and best friend. I pray your special blessings and protection over his day to day comings and goings...also in the workplace and in his friendships and amongst his cousins who look up to him.
And Father, I praise you especially that you placed it on his heart to come and surprise me. As I was sitting in the den reading my bible app, he called to say, "Open the door." He was downstairs and my heart leaped when he said that.
I hugged him so, so tight and I was just in complete awe! I took him to see the cottage and he loved it. I took him to Trader's to get some dinner and many were looking at us and could tell that he was my son. A few commented on how happy I looked and how lucky I was. Yes, I'm truly blessed!
Father, prayers for Debbie. We didn't know her but she said that she was a bit jealous because she did not have that closeness with her 3 children. She began to tear up and I gave her a hug. I told her that in time, you would restore their relationship and that I would be lifting her in prayer. Father, you can and I know that you will bring this family into reconciliation. Your timing is perfect!
Thank you for being my Dad and for blessing my life in countless ways!
A special thank you for our small group meeting that still has me thinking about my gifts and how I'm using them, not using them, sharing them and not sharing them. Continue to give me wisdom, insight and a heart of humility to give, share, bless and honor you with all that I have!
Thank you that I'm back into our study of Revelation and that you are speaking to my heart in many ways. There is much that I do not understand as was with the Book of Daniel, but I love you and I trust you and I am so very grateful that as long as I am still here...breathing and willing, you will make my understanding of your word clearer with each day....NOT only that, those that know and love you and have been chosen and called by you will be brought to GLORY! That alone, gives me such relief and such peace. #PRICELESS
Eternally yours
