Frosty


It has been a long several days, Lord.  DHE is definitely not the answer to pain relief for me and my headache.  More pain with severe and still lingering side effects.  What an experience, Lord!  Thank You for answering my prayer to show me “in neon” if DHE gave me relief.  Not.even.remotely.  Thank You for holding me close and taking such loving care of me in the midst of the storm named DHE.  I’m thankful that is over, despite the fact that it is not Your pain relief for my headache.  

You show Your love for Your children in so many varied ways, Abba Father.  Your way to show Your love and mercy to me today after the chaos of DHE this week was a Wendy’s Frosty.... a CHOCOLATE Frosty, at that!  Although I cannot eat chocolate anymore, I still love it.  Carob is okay, but it is not chocolate.  Today You let me take a rescue dose of antacid so that my bladder could tolerate the chocolate in the Frosty.  It was delicious!  Such a great kindness to me, such a loving kindness and mercy.  I was greatly humbled by Your gracious gift to me.  I am amazed at how You show me that You love me through buying me a chocolate Frosty.  Every good and perfect gift comes from You.  Such was my chocolate Frosty today.  A humble thank You from Your daughter to You, gentle Abba Father, the One Who created me and set me on the path of pilgrimage with You.  There is more of You and less of me after today.  Praise to You and You alone...  

“the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.”  Genesis 2:7

“for He knows how we are formed, He remembers that we are dust.”  Psalm 103:14

“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail.  They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”  Lamentations 3:22-23

Love, 
Your piece of dust

You Amaze Me


“For nothing is impossible with God.”  Luke 1:37

“ ‘I am the Lord, the God of all mankind.  Is anything too hard for Me?’ “  Jeremiah 32:27

Just when I thought it would be an even longer wait, You made it happen, Lord.  Yes, I knew that You would make it happen some time, but today was the day, when I least expected it!  When You deliver a situation, Lord, it is delivered and things happen very quickly and very smoothly.  You opened the door and no one could shut it.  I am amazed at You all over again.  All praise, honor and glory be unto You.  

Steps were taken today to move forward to eventually finding Your answers to my headache and other health problems.  First to try the DHE injections, then, hopefully, next month the Botox shots.  Thank You for showing us if there is any relief for me in these things.  I am eager to find out what You will show us.  

Thank You, Abba Father, for this step forward.  You are so merciful to me.    Our walk together continues.  Thank You for never leaving me nor forsaking me.  You are faithful.

Always Has Been, Always Will Be


Lord, for several weeks now I’ve been pondering the Truth that You have always existed and will always exist.  For my finite, human mind grasping this is overwhelming.  It is simply beyond my comprehension but I know it is true.  Please show me this Truth in Your Word.  I don’t need proof that it is true.  I just want to see it written in Your Word so that I may marvel at Your magnificence and be able to share his Truth with others who need a glimpse of Your glory.  Thank You for Your mercy in showing me this Truth in Your Word.  Use it all for Your greatest glory.  

“God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.  This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ “  Exodus 3:14

“In the beginning GOD created the heavens and the earth.”  Genesis 1:1

“Listen to Me, O Jacob, Israel, whom I have called: I am He; I am the First and I am the Last.  My own hand laid the foundations of the earth, and My right hand spread out the heavens...”  Isaiah 48:12-13a

“I tell you the Truth,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!”  John 8:58

“Your throne was established long ago; You are from all eternity.”  Psalm 93:2

“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.”  Revelation 22:13

You absolutely blow me away, Lord, and humble me beyond words.  Praise You Who has always been and always will be.  Wow.....
