TIME TO REST

Besides coming up with all kinds of recipes, doing some light housekeeping, unpacking my backpacks to repack them, writing a letter every now and then, trying to help my mom find a place closer to Pensacola, I have been resting. I have met up with a friend or two every now and then, and spoken with one or two over the phone. Committing everything to prayer and beginning to see The Body function as it should.

My truck is being worked on some more in hopes of possibly heading north and west for a few days. Today was my nephew's bday ELIJAH DAVID. Two year old treasure of love. Thank you God for allowing me to be a part of their little lives.

The other night I sang with my friend Andrea at the Back Door (Beacon of Life Ministry) in Foley... I really really like those people. Andrea has been my friend for many years. I think we both started writing songs and poetry right around the same time many years ago. We both long for the Lord to do all that He wants to do in us and through us. It is a lot of fun to watch what happens when two or more of us show up in one place (agreeing) He is in our midst. Healing comes. His Word accomplishes all that it was sent forth to do.

I am excited for the days to come, and I am full of tears at the same time. Overwhelmed by the Lord's perfect love to come in and save the day EVERYDAY. Earnestly desiring to see others turn their eyes to Jesus so that everything else will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace. How I long for the righteous to realize that HE HEARS THEIR CRIES and WILL DELIVER THEM OUT OF ALL THEIR TROUBLES. If they will only look to HIM their faces will be radiant and nevered covered with shame.
