I love the morning! It seems that the morning is a time when all the busyness and noise of life are calm and still. The morning is a peaceful reminder to me of the Lord's simplicity and incomprehensible beauty. Life is new and fresh -- I am awed by the Lord's creation for He is the Giver of Life. I will always remember the small little picture that my dear Aunt Gildee had hanging in her house it read, "Start each day with a smile." Those words of wisdom remind me that life is precious and short and that is why the mornings have been a precious time for me to spend seeking and sitting before the One who fully knows me. For in the morning I see the light of His glory through the morning sunrise and I cannot help but to smile, for my soul that He has placed in side of me is filled with a newness of Joy and Wonder of Who Jesus Is.
For the journey of my life is guided by the Lord. Over the past several years this had become increasingly evident. I am walking through the seasons of life and seeing more clearly that the Lord who has made the Heavens and earth has also made me for a unique purpose...I am discovering who I am in light of Who He is. This is a journey that is a process, a process that has not and will not always be filled with happiness or smiles, but as the Lord endured the cross for the redemption of sins with all joy. I believe that He will grant me the grace and strength to walk this road, for in spite of all that I will face and have faced His strength and peace will sustain me until the day He brings me home. This blog I pray will be a place that I am challenged to express my thoughts and to share with you, who have played intricate roles in the shaping of my life, the things I am learning along this journey. May the Lord's blessing be upon all of you and may His Joy be made full in you, through you, and for you. Grace and Peace be to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ (II Thess. 1:2).
