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.

Save me! I'm all Yours. I look high and low for Your words of Wisdom.

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 our 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 our ABBA, desiring more than just a superficial relationship.
And for the most part, He has helped me overcome the noise of the whispers.
This week there are six very important parts of my heart away from the normal routine. Charles and Ella are in Oklahoma with their dad. And the other four are presently out west. Today is the day Adam and Ashley will be meeting up with Nichalas and Amber to spend time together. I am so excited for them. It has been seven months since they have been face to face and know there will be some happy hearts creating more memories.
I am so thankful for all the prayers being lifted up for them. I am so thankful knowing our ABBA is right there in the center of them. When we dropped Adam and Ashley off at the airport a couple of days ago, I only shed a few tears. I haven't had too many anxious moments thinking about Nichalas and Amber on the trail. Even when Nichalas shared the "we shouldn't have made it mom" moments or seeing their first bear.
Our ABBA is having me realize I am not becoming "cocky", but my faith is growing. At times it feels strange not worrying, since it has always been my first go to reaction. He is opening my eyes to seeing the not worrying is my faith growing "in" Him.
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 our 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.

Your Word and Truth are dependable as ever; that's what You ordered - You set the earth going.
