http://strengthinquietness.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Thoughts from a heart set free by quiet confidence in her heavenly Father's unfailing love. Thursday, December 22, 2011. The LORD will fulfill his purpose. Your steadfast love, O LORD, endures. You hem me in, behind and before,. And lay your hand upon me. Even the darkness is not dark to you,. For darkness is as light. In your book were written the days that were formed for me,. When as yet there was none of them. You are not here by accident. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I write, not ...

A Source Of Joy: May 2009
http://asourceofjoy.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 13, 2009. An ill dread is hanging over me,. Slung on a single strand of cobweb thread. I do not know how I can live today. The usual life of common duties, turn. A calm front to the day's perplexities,. A smile upon its small, persistent cares -. While inwardly a raging fear devours. Courage in mouthfuls; and my chariot wheels. Drag heavily; and gladness flies from me,. Leaving me standing shivering on the edge. Of unknown desolation; and all things. An ill thou dreadest hanging over thee,.

Tuesday, June 30, 2009. The man who is challenged by Fate does not take umbrage at the terms," wrote Dag Hammarskjold. So the man called by Christ. Any terms at all are acceptable if we may be permitted to walk with Him. But is this the path, Lord? Must we take this one in order to reach Home? I have overcome the world" (Jn 16:33). Elisabeth Elliot, A Lamp For My Feet. Elisabeth's practical wisdom always hits home for me, and I found this emailed book excerpt to be exactly what I needed to read today.

A Source Of Joy: Asking God WHY
http://asourceofjoy.blogspot.com/2009/02/asking-god-why.html
Friday, February 27, 2009. My friend, Mary, has posted a poignantly beautiful poem on her blog.Perhaps it will touch other hearts who have come before God with an honest, confused "WHY? The Question of a Disappointed Woman. Do you think that the infinite God cannot fill and satisfy your heart? Francois de la Mothe Fenmon. February 28, 2009 at 10:09 AM. In answer to your quote, here is another:. There is one heart that Jesus can't fill:. A heart that won't let Him in. But if you will let Him.

it's just me...: 64 Days
http://theitsjustmeblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/64-days.html
Thursday, January 5, 2012. What's the freight train? What's in 64 days? In 64 days, I will turn 40. In 64 days, I will turn 40 as a, still single woman. In 64 days, I will turn 40 as a still single, barren woman. In 64 days, I will turn 40 as a still single, barren woman who hasn't had a date since the 80s. I can't stop the train from coming. In 64 days, I will. Those words echo as I recite my harsh realities. Those words stir in my heart and give me no choice but to hope. Today, these are words, stirrin...

it's just me...: October 2010
http://theitsjustmeblog.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 26, 2010. I love to tell the story.Part I. But, as I daydreamed about my end, I didn't think about any of that. And the more I didn't think about any of that, the more appealing my end became. Enter Dr. Simon's English Lit Class, Milton's Paradise Lost, and a tiny girl with huge hair. After about 3 hours of this, we said goodbye, but not before she gave me some little booklets she intended to mail to her boyfriend. "You need them more than he does." She said. So, I did. That was my "salv...

Thursday, April 28, 2011. This Post Has No Title. I'm not dead or in a coma or wandering the streets in some sort of amnesiatic haze. I'm alive, I'm here, I'm in full possession of my mental and physical faculties. Well.I still can't touch my toes or cross my legs, but I've not been able to do for more years than I care to count, but.anyway. And, it lasted approximately 6 weeks. ;). Then, reality began to reer its ugly head. Going FT with photography wasn't an option. I got no leads on PT jobs wi...A pre...

Tuesday, July 12, 2011. My Canadian Vacation - Day 5, part 1. Don't get me wrong. I have friends. About 500 the last time I checked FB. ;). You girls know what I mean, right? I don't have that, here, locally, in real life. Big, heavy sigh). Hence the spontaneous sobbing in the church lobby. ANYway, (for those of you still with me) that's just some frame of reference info for this post about my last day in Canada. Nothing in my head was anywhere close to the reality of what I saw that Sunday. Even before ...

Tuesday, December 14, 2010. If I ever lose my faith in you. Sometimes, it happens. I'm riding along in my car, listening to some of my old, favorite secular music, and God comes in. Sting is singing to a person, about a person. He says he could lose or has lost his faith in everything else in the world, but if he ever lost his faith in this one person, all would be lost. When I heard it, I was also thinking about a person.the person of Jesus Christ.and I agree with Sting. Thursday, December 9, 2010.
