The only way to survive is to keep bringing my pain to Jesus. He surprises me again and again by reaching down and touching...his touch brings healing and then He uses it for His glory. Not only uses it for His glory, but transforms it into JOY!

Friends
My lack of writing isn't due to nothing happening. Sometimes it's just hard to put it into words. So many things God has been teaching me...
One thing I've been thinking a lot about is friends. Some friends are closer than others, but the closer you are, the more you share. I think it is the same way with Jesus. He wants us to tell him EVERYTHING and the closer we are to Him, the more He tells us, too.
Maybe another time I will tell you more...

Faint-Hearted
Caring for the elderly is not for the faint-hearted but I was feeling faint-hearted today...
An unplanned shower in the middle of baking cookies and fixing lunch, is not exactly my idea of fun. It makes me wish to go back to taking care of triplets and 3 Labs (minus the Labs!). Thanks to Mom, the cookies got baked and lunch on the table while I was occupied elsewhere. (I will spare you the gory details.)
However, this is where God has called me, now, and I count it a privilege to care for Dad & Mom in their later years. No, it's not always fun. It's not always easy, but still...I love them!
"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint." Isa.40:31
