It has been a long time since I have written an entry. It isn't because I don't have anything to write about. On the contrary, there have been plenty of things that could have been written. It seemed like, I just didn't have the words. Words are terrific and can be meaningful, helping us to express many things, but there are times when words just don't suffice. During the difficult times, and when we experience hard things, sometimes our emotions run deep and it is much too hard to put things into words. For me, praying is a task that seems too great when I am suffering in some way and know that I truly need the Lord's wisdom and strength. I can never put my needs and longings into the proper words. How grateful I am for the passage in the Word that reminds me that I have an interceder... "In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; " Romans 8:26 He always "gets" it, and I don't even have to explain or preface my request with a "you won't believe what happened today". He is glad to have me come to Him and He works it all out between Himself and His Spirit! It is a mystery, but a beautiful and peace-giving one. The past month or so has been full of trials for our family. Some bigger, some smaller, but sometimes when they all come at once it is overwhelming. One thing we have learned is that God is always good and He is always faithful. He is never changing, and He has our good in mind. My favorite "funny" trial has been the saga of the dryer. It is a long and not very interesting story, but suffice to say that my children are getting good at hanging clothes out on the line! Today and always I am thankful for His goodness and His rich Word.... |
