Beloved, faith, dead to sin, alive in Christ...
What have all these in common, neigh their relative sounding of religious jargon?  They were all striking deep cords within me as I read them off the page and screen today. What a better what to start the day than with these words?!   No matter if some of them cause a stirring inside that is almost repulsive as the one being stirred knows action and work is required to carry them forth.  No matter, no matter I say. Who cares if one feels like they have been tossed and turned inside out for the past 6ish months, if this child feels stripped to the barrenness of soul and wearied for all she is worth over a lesson, or 50 that need to be learned?  Honestly these strong feelings are just as such, but I have nothing to complain about at this moment. I truly feel lucky, a lightness of soul this morning, at this moment as I sit with these words ringing through my head: faith, beloved, Master, saved, strength, fed, clothed. Like I say, what more do I need? Nada!  What more do I yearn for besides a vacation to escape and be alone with Him in my thoughts? Can't say there is much more. So here I sit, content, thankful, changed and ever changing I pray as I discover more of Him, as I pray and arrive to be in His will. Challenged, yes, but better for it. Thank you Lord for pushing me. Thank you for providing this peace and rest when I need it. Cheers to another day!
