For energy to meet the "normal" and extra responsibilities. I share your concerns re. the church & applaud your daughter's insight. Frequently I ask God for mercy - personal & collective. Sometimes I feel like Elisha (or was it 'jah?) who thought he was the only one left. Then I'm inspired to see posts like yours that assure me that God still has His people!

BUT I don't know if the Lord is letting me out again, b/c the dementia is increasing. To see you being around and about with your husband is a real treat!

We all have a choice in this life whether or not to go through it. I feel that the world we live in now is increasingly testing our faith. Are we willing to compromise who we are in Christ to fit in with society or are we standing strong in our convictions to go through that gate? I believe, as you do, that we have to stand strong on God's word & not define the boundaries He has placed for us. Glad that you were able to get away & spend time with your hubs.

I don't know why, but taking a camera with me makes a big difference - it seems to allow me to zoom into God's presence. I've noticed for quite a while, especially while teaching in the classroom, that students don't believe what the words are telling them (like directions) - that words mean something - and that words do set boundaries and limits. It's a shame when culture tries to devolve the God-designed boundary words. I am so glad you got out - found grace in the uncomfortable!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1105171804337429232.post-80502100850998865462015-02-21T12:20:37.713-08:002015-02-21T12:20:37.713-08:00I love reading your insights and encouragement.
