Desert and Storms

Where can I go? Where can I rest?

When Noah was in the Ark, it was the dove who could not rest among the dead. Oh Lord, Your Holy Spirit can not rest where there is deadness within my spirit.

Cleanse me, wash me. I have allowed the cares of this world to flood me.

It's 6 AM

I had some very deep thoughts earlier in the morning. Yet, now, after two cups of strong black coffee, the ephiphany is gone.

My devotions this morning led me to John 14 when Jesus said to His diciples that He would go and prepare a place for them. I have read this passage so many times before, even sung about it in Sunday VBS. I suppose it never really sunk in deep that Jesus was talking to "me". That the place He is creating is a real place of rest. I can ask anything according to God's will and it shall be given to "me". The promises are mine to keep.

Definition of Sin

Whatever weakens your sense of reasoning ~ Impairs the tenderness of your conscience or obscures your sense of God or takes away your relish for spiritual things, is sin to you...

New Year ~ New Thoughts

So I have a roommate. At 41, I finally decided that I could handle what could be similar to a college-like arrangement. The only other person that I lived with for any length of time, was Joe, my late husband. There is also someone in my life again that I am interested in, in a romantic way, I think.

Drawing and my art is something that I am doing again.

I kinda feel free.

After all that happened to me, I ask, "Is my life about to change again?"
