Tormented and Tattered...

These days I don't look so hot. Most days I stay in some semblance of pajamas. My beauty is not what's for his glory, but my rags are.

I have experienced some torment too. Inner turmoil matches my outward appearance. And I feel I am going "crazy" at times. For no apparent reason. Why am I being attacked?

Though I haven't asked the Lord to take this torment from me, He answered me in His word today anyway. "My grace is sufficient... power is perfected in weakness" These weaknesses, disruptions, diseases, distractions, insults, disagreements, distresses and difficulties are for Christ's sake. For when I am weak and beaten down, then He in me is (therefore I am) strong and lifted up. [paraphrased from 2 Corinthians 12:7-10]

A while back I stopped watching scary movies. Well, now I feel my life, though perhaps not on the outside, has turned into one.

God, I pray for you to stay near. Keep your glory around me. Shine my way so I can bounce the light to others around me who need it also.

Oh, and please see that the lovely friend we met at church receives that cute lil' hat! She can rock it, I can tell! Hafta share the fashion love! :0)

We had a lovely time in TX with Ben and Micah and Pixie and Sonny and the three Angels, Mollie, Buggie and Christopher! A home filled with love and a welcome mat that rolls way out to the street! Thank you Hesters! We love you, "Mom & Dad!"
