His Constant Care

When I find myself in times of trouble - it isn't Mother Mary, but her glorious Son who speaks into my gloom. So very much has changed in this past year and a half. I've found myself questioning many things. One thing that has been proved out to me is that God has plans for me and I am going to be happiest and most successful if I wait on Him. The best laid plans I've ever had for myself, the things I've worked at or run after in my own way haven't always turned out the way I'd expected. Some things have come back to bite me. In my foolish, self-ish thinking I imagined that pouring enough effort, time and energy into my marriage would make my ex-spouse a.) happy, b.) alright, c.) love me - you can choose one or fill in the blank. But my efforts can't change anyone who has made up their minds to do something - even if that something might not be in their own best interests.

I can't save anyone. I can't even save myself. Thank God that He sent someone to save me. Now, as a faded moon sets out of sight on one horizon of my world a new and beautiful sun rises on the other. It's called Home. I believe that a move is in my future. Even now I won't say that there was no reason for me to move South. The reason was something that the Lord alone knew. He is moving in my life and among my loved ones. Thanks will never be enough. Hope and dependence on Him alone will always be enough. He moves mountains and brings the dead to life again. Here I am and there I will go.

God bless all who visit here.

Peace to you,
