that God really loves anyone who reads this and is somehow possibly encouraged, because He “brought me back” to Him so to speak in time to post this. I’m still not close to Him like I want, but those were two truths today I need to realize. But I guess He knew you needed them too. :)

Walking by faith is so hard, but I almost think it’s well nigh impossible without the Word of God to direct you and help you see He is still there in your life. It’s like being blind and at least hearing the voice of someone who loves you guiding you through a scary path. If you don’t get in there and listen when you first panic, you start bumping into walls getting bruised and eventually fall hurting. But if you run to His Word when you first start to panic, you find His truths that set your heart free because His perfect love casts out fear. And that’s all you need to know, that your Abba Father is watching over you no matter the time, day, place, or circumstance.

That’s what I want to get back to. Knowing that in my soul and navigating through the dark times by using His Word. I know in my head the answers sometimes, I just need them down to my soul, you know? To be rooted and grounded in those truths that reach to endless supply of the Living Water so I won’t shrivel up in drought like I’m good at doing.

but first things first. I have to get back to reading my Bible if I want any of that eventually to come to fruition! Sometimes I feel like a tree that at the first sign of a heat wave, yanks up her roots and says in a huff, fine I will go elsewhere and tries to walk away (_{haha and obviously ker-plunks right away}). yes, figuratively and literally it’s a ridiculous image! :)

I’d better stop jabbering away :) but may your week find you seeing God in your life more than you did today. Seeing His love and joy because it is there for you,
