Beauty

-
Cool crisp autumn air.
A sunset shining through slate colored clouds.
A single leaf slowly floats to the ground.
I'm listening to The City of Prague Philharmonic's "Love Theme" from Romeo & Juliet...

"If you find my beloved, tell him that I am sick with love."
Song of Solomon 5:8

Thank you My Lord for this moment of beauty.

God Hears

-
Just be reminded today that He does hear and He does answer prayers.  He is faithful indeed! If you've been reading my blog you know I've been complaining a bit about the work load and feeling stressed.  Do I still have work ahead of me?  Indeed, but I have to say prayer changes things. This morning I prayed remembering that God is who I am dependent on, not myself.  That He is merciful by making me go do my work instead of giving me the day off, because in His plan He knows what fruit that work may produce.  I asked Him this morning to "take me deeper than my feet could ever wander, and my faith will be made stronger in the presence of my Savior"(see the song I posted last time).  Trials shall be overcome not by looking at what we have ahead to tackle, but by looking at the Unchanging God.  Our moods don't have to shift with the trials and blessings of life because if we focus on our Lord who is Steadfast and True.  There are so many things I could write abou

Prayers for the girl I've never met...

I was reminded by a professor the other day that in our field of Speech-Language Pathology some of our clients may not live to even 25 years of age. That is why we want to give them the best quality of life while they live.  I agreed, but as she said it an overwhelming emotion ran over me with the reminder that this is not the only life. I cannot exactly explain the feeling itself, but it was one of those times where I was grateful to God for the opportunity to speak into the lives of others and broken hearted by how much I have missed sharing the Gospel thus far.  I do not know to what extent I will be able to share the truth with my clients, but I am a Christian before I am an SLP. Of course, I want them to live full and meaningful lives on earth and being able to help them communicate will do that, but I know that apart from Christ, there will never be such a true joy in this life. I do know that in heaven my clients will be able to walk, run, sing, and praise the Name of the Lord f

Overcome

I just found this quote floating around my Bible. Someone from Bible Study had handed it to me last week and I never got around to actually reading it until now. It's a quote from Beth Moore's study "Psalms of the Ascent": "You and I will never move to the next level with God if we're scared half to death of what awaits us. On this mysterious pilgrimage we will find that when we do meet difficulties and sorrows, they were not meant to stop us but to form the character required for out great harvest in the coming season. Step into your future, Precious One. Something wonderful awaits you." Usually I tend to get theologically picky and think "Actually you don't know what awaits me. Aren't we warned that our road will lead to suffering and persecution in this life?" But today this is just what I needed to hear... Not sure why there has been such a heaviness in my soul lately, I feel it is unwarranted and distracting. I mean there a
