Life

The gentle breeze and pleasant 80-degree weather is a delightful way to end the week. After strong, damaging winds, drenching rain, and hail, it is a blessed reprieve. I breathe in the smell of freshly-mown grass, and buds nearly ready to burst into bloom are a welcome sight.



The battles in the spirit realm were raging, as well. One night a friend stopped in to offer words of encouragement and hope. As she was leaving, she snapped this picture of a warrior angel over my house.


I felt comforted, safe and protected. That night it felt like something was broken in the spirit realm and things slowly began to turn for the better.

Today was a day of rest and refreshment with just enough work to get by.:) I love Saturday mornings when I don't have to rush off to work but can take all the time I need talking to God. I stay in that place until He speaks and my heart feels at rest again. I needed that today for I did not feel at peace when I awoke this morning. There were two glaring things (totally unrelated, I thought) staring me in the face that I wanted answers for and as I prayed and worshiped and focused on God, suddenly I got a "word", in one short sentence, that tied the two together. I was surprised and delighted! It gave me a lightness of heart I hadn't had before and courage to get out of bed and brave another day.

I made "Dutch Puff" for breakfast and soaked in a bit of sun, while eating, for at that time of the morning my house still had a chill to it. I didn't feel very inspired to tackle my "To Do" list so texted my brother to see if he was busy. We talked for over 2 hours. After that I did get down to working (a little). I did a bit of mending and just enough cleaning to soothe my conscience. I painted a bulletin board frame white. I took a nap (just because I could). I had fun cooking and preparing a picnic for my Mom and sister who were coming in the evening.


Afterwards we went to McDonald's and got ice cream cones. What a lovely ending to a lovely day!
