another Monday…another week full of ups and downs…another week for God to prove His faithfulness in my life. I look in my journal to read gift after gift…big and small, some I would hardly have noticed a few years ago…and I am reminded that He makes all things new. He is in the process of making me new. Oh glorious day!! Oh how I wish it were a more instant thing…but oh, how lovingly He cares for each of us. How gently He leads. How precious His thoughts for me. I cannot stop giving thanks. I cannot stare atmy giant for long, I must look up. I must look to see my Savior’s face…He is there all the while. And when I look to Him, my giants don’t seem nearly as big as they were yesterday. In fact, I think they are not giants afterall, amen?
{do you see the fly? at first I thought it took away from the picture – as I didn’t notice the fly til after I put the pictures on my computer, but the more I look at it, the more perfect I think it is because of the fly. smile.}
This week, I keep on counting…naming these gifts…giving Him glory for it all!!
