This season has been full of high highs and low lows. Similar to Dicken’s “A Tale of Two Cities” I can see the best and worst. I can see both the light and the dark. They somehow coexist. The beauty is that Christ is the same, no matter how tumultuous life gets. He peaks at me through the people who love me, through their desire to connect with me. He hides behind the open doors I know only He has the power to unlock. I glimpse Him but He does not bombard me with His heart and presence and power the way He has in the past. The way I was so used to. No, He is maturing me. Have you ever had a season like that? Where you are being matured but you don’t really want to be? He is developing the weak things in me…
Hebrews 12:12
Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees…
My roommate moved in last week! She is such a blessing. I know she is one of the many gifts the Father has given me in this season. Her smile, her laugh, they are life. It’s amazing how similar we are in temperament. It’s amazing we met through this little blog. God is an amazing connector!
I got to have dinner with an old friend. She wanted to buy my book and actually bought 2. She said she could have bought it a year ago but she needed it now. God is using it in her healing. I am blessed. The next day I met a woman at a friend’s party. She bought my book too. God keeps selling them…
He is near, even when I can’t feel Him. He protects me when my heart is in anguish. When I’m sitting next to someone who was at one time the fabric of my life, my being, and yet we do not utter a word. We are like two passersby, when once we were like Siamese twins. I know the separation had to happen and I’m glad it did. Still, some things in life are not easy to recover from.
I just received my manuscript back from my editor! I began reviewing the changes last night, sitting on the couch with a cup of tea in my hand and my roomie not too far away. I love this season. I love Fall. I look forward to seeing how the Father will manifest His will in this new year of Rosh Shoshanna…
I really like this song right now..
