Day 25


 "Let us not be surprised when we have to face difficulties. When the wind blows hard on a tree, the root stretch and grow the stronger.  Let it be so with us. Let us not be weaklings, yielding to every wind that blows, but strong in spirit to resist"

Amy Carmichael 

I have really enjoyed learning about who Amy Carmichael was, she was a missionary in the 1900s before the airplane. She traveled to India to work with rescuing kids in abusive situations.  She was a single female who had no fear but knew the call on her life.   I want to learn more about her, her words are beautiful 

Today I am thankful for peace that God gives even in the most difficult situations.  Today I felt prewarned, but I did not know what it would be.  I am thankful that my dad thinks so hard in wanting to help me to carry groceries in even when he is shaky and it ends up being detrimental for him, but it is his love for me and his desire to assist me as he has done my whole life.   I am thankful for everyday I am given with them both, even during the season that they need more of my assistance.  I am thankful for His provision to heal my body and for the wholeness He gives.  Today I read about Joseph, what an example he is on Gods favor in the midst of his struggle he knew God would provide.   I am thankful for a different entrance to my house when the sidewalk in the front is nothing but ice..

Day 10

 It was very cold this morning, but the light felt so near, so bright, I love how the light dances on this building.  Sometimes it is more noticeable than others.  Today the brightness was beautiful, light dancing on the church.  This church is so beautiful on the inside, it is an aged church but has such history on the inside.   I remember attending a small wedding decades ago in one of the parlors in the church.  A simple repeating of vows.   Wild how you can attend such an intimate ceremony, but decades later not see the people any longer.  Not from anger or episode but simply time and life.   Not sure why I remember that tonight when I have walked past this church hundreds of times on my way to work.  Today, I am thankful for peace, for my parents having a good day with each other.    I am thankful for the continued reading in Job and him saying that the fear of the Lord, is wisdom and turning away from evil ...

Day One 1-1-22

Image
It started with a thunderstorm, with lightening flashing in the sky and rain dancing on the roof.   I could stand on the porch without a jacket and in my pajama's.  Then I heard the birds singing in the bush outside of the window in the bathroom.   If I did not know what day it was, I would think it was a spring day developing.  What came to mind, a new day, a new year, and a new season.   Today I started the reading plan for the chronological read that I just completed yesterday, again.   Today I felt giddy in getting to start again.   I am excited to see what You ABBA have to show me this year.

Day 5

 This morning I noticed the glow in the sky,  I could not help but run out to see the colors that were not bright but covered the majority of where I could see.   I immediately thought of the proverb, orange skies in morning, sailor warning. Orange skies at night sailor's delight.  I immediately wondered what this day would hold.    Then I kept hearing the part of the 23rd Psalm where it says yea though I walk through the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thy rod and thy staff comfort me.    I again, wondered what the day would hold.   I was provoked in thought by someone who said there was a difference between if a person dies and when you start looking at when they die.  That this is a shift in a journey.  It provoked my thinking because we tend to land on if a person dies when in reality, we all are going to face death at some point, so the better question is when.   But what makes that difficult is wh...
