Good morning, et cetera, dear Reader, and welcome!
We find ourselves above ground today and, soon, the Sun *will* rise again - a daily announcement that HE IS, His mercies towards all of us brand new with each new day (see Lamentations 3:22-23).
I woke up to a miracle today; my friend, Claudia, was riding her bicycle in Dallas and a massive truck hit her! Miraculously, the truck dragged her and did not roll over her, which probably would have been life-ending. No, when the driver figured out that something was wrong, he immediately stopped and summoned aid. From what she says, they were both surprised. So it's the first birthday gift that the Lord let me wake up to, Him showing out in the lives of people I love as witness to me, to you, to us all. Great is His faithfulness. 💖
Between you and me, dear Reader, I'm not discouraged one iota, looking around the 1987 fifth-wheel camper that we currently live in, with its numerous structural challenges that just naturally come with that situation. Our meager income also can't quell the Hope in my heart, because I can feel and see what is coming for us, and not just for us, but - more importantly! - for those we are called to serve. the Lord will provide a beautiful, safe home with all the necessities, enough to share with and care for all who come to our door. (and, remember: ALL means ALL - period).
Yes, that's what God has in store for us! It's only a matter of time now and we're excited to see how He will make these things manifest. Remember that, "Faith is the evidence of things unseen, the substance of that which is hoped for" and this morning?
This human heart is FULL of faith, for which I am very grateful - that alone is a priceless gift, straight from the heart of God Himself, because if I were to be lead by only what I see, despair would surely take hold and guide me down a path of emotional darkness, but the very opposite is true for me today. Thank You, Lord. I pray for you, dear Reader, that you, also, receive hope and encouragement directly from the throne of grace to lift you up above any and all seemingly-insurmountable circumstances, that your spirit will, indeed, soar on wings as eagles, high above the mundane, with your hearts and minds focusing on Jesus, the Alpha and Omega, our Creator Who fashions us from dust before birth and receives us each with loving, open Arms when He calls us Home.
I love you. Please pray for everyone you know, and our nation, and our world, and seek to meet everyone where they are out of mercy and kindness and thank you for your efforts. 💜
