"What you say goes, God, and stays, as permanent as the heavens.
If Your revelation hadn't delighted me so, I would have given up when the hard times came.
but I'm only concerned with Your plans for me.
I see the limits to everything human, but the horizons can't contain Your commands!
My g'ma Dorothy used to tell me, "it's like a rocking chair. Even though you rock and rock, you're never getting anywhere".

I see the limits to everything human, but the horizons can't contain Your commands!
Your truth never goes out of fashion; it's as up-to-date as the earth when the sun comes up.
Your Word and Truth are dependable as ever; that's what You ordered - You set the earth going.
If Your revelation hadn't delighted me so, I would have given up when the hard times came.
But I'll never forget the advice You gave me; You saved my life with those wise words.
Save me! I'm all Yours. I look high and low for Your words of Wisdom.
The wicked lie in ambush to destroy me, but I'm only concerned with Your plans for me.
I see the limits to everything human, but the horizons can't contain Your commands!
Oh, how I love all You've revealed; I reverently ponder it all the day long."(89-97)
His reminder. His comfort. His Truth.
Right there - first Words I read this morning.
He is I AM.
He is I AM.
Comparing myself to how I was in my yesterdays, I have improved greatly. There are still moments when I fail and fall back into an old habit. When I allow the whispers coming from the enemy to draw my attention off of my ABBA.
My g'ma Dorothy used to tell me, "it's like a rocking chair. Even though you rock and rock, you're never getting anywhere".
She was referring to "worry".
I have been striving to eradicate it from my life by depending and believing in all - all - He has written to me in my love letter from Him - His Word. I have been striving to lean on The Holy Spirit and draw from His Wisdom which I receive from digging into His Word. I continually strive in becoming more intimate with my ABBA, desiring more than just a superficial relationship.
And for the most part, He has helped me overcome the noise of the whispers.
Sleep has not been my friend for the past few weeks.
There is much on our plates and it seems time just slips on. We spent the weekend helping Adam and Ashley continue to ready their house into a home for them to move into. I see what the stress of paying two mortgages, car payment, childcare and other expenses is doing to them. Thankfully, they are so centered around our ABBA, have a great support team, and know they are in a temporary place, that the arrows satan is shooting, aren't coming between "them". But as a mama, I am fighting not to allow their stress become mine.
Nichalas and Amber will be heading out soon on their annual trip back home for their summer visit. I am trying to ready our home, get ahead on our work so we have a flexible schedule to try and make the most of every moment the short time they are here. All the while knowing, everything will work out. It always does. And yes. I am also trying to squelch the imagination of "what could happen" during their journey.

It has been bittersweet having our sons become grown men and leave the "nest". There have been, and most likely will be more of those moments when my heart physically aches from the days which accumulate between all of us being together. How I delight in Adam being back and living here with his Ashley, Charlie and Ella. To spend time with them. Just to hear their voice in person and see their faces on a regular basis.
One of my greatest joys has become just sitting and looking, watching our kids.
His beauty within and outside of them, continually takes my breath away.
"Marvelous are His works".

And again, as He reassures me during the attack of satan's arrows, the whispers trying to get into my head, we are but sojourners here on this earth. Picking up and journeying through the dangers and potholes of this world, towards our place at "Home" in which our Christ has went and prepared for us.
He continually reassures me the all of our ABBA is as permanent as the heavens.
In Him, He is as the air we breathe, surrounding us and within. No matter where we journey.

Every moment, He knows I need to "hear" He is in complete control.
