Good morning, et cetera, on yet another day above ground, dear Reader! Originally today, I got up at three but went back to bed and now it's almost half-past six o'clock in the morning. I can hear the world outside waking up, and daylight is already here; the one cup of coffee that I've made so far is wonderful.
So, since I read the day's Proverb and went back to bed, here it is again, now that I'll be awake for the day. (And, in audio format as well for those who enjoy it). Anyway, remember, that the Word says that "Faith cometh by hearing and hearing the Word of God" so I personally like the audio as well, seeing it as another tool in the arsenal.
Our weather here continues to behave very "Springlike" which, I suppose, is considered 'normal' for this time of year, but then again, here in the desert, you never know what you'll wake up to, weather-wise, on any given day.
As the countdown to my Fragrantica-account deletion continues, I thought it odd that, this entire week, I've dealt with more physical fatigue than normal, lots of it, in fact. Research, though, tells me that, during major periods of transition like this, it is normal to experience some small time of exhaustion. Unless it continues for a good while, I'll write it off to 'normal' and just do my best to power through. These days, at 54, the aching joints in my left hand (four specific ones) usually wake me up and take a couple of hours for the aching to abate enough that I can open and close that hand. However, 800 mg Ibuprofen is great and works like a charm, albeit in its time, and that's fine with me.
As hubby sleeps, I can hear the chorus of birdsong outside, praising the great I AM, reminding me that He is here and He is near, even when I don't feel it. And that reminds me of this classic song, I hope that it blesses you and reminds you that, even if we can't see Him, the Son always shines:

In fact, I feel like the homonyms "Sun" and "Son" are deliberate and far from accidental, but this is just my own opinion.
I often find Him in the darkest moments and scariest corners of this Life, right where and when I need Him to be. I pray that you find Him in those places, too. The wonderful news is that there is nowhere we can go that He cannot meet us and reach us, look:

So you see, my dear Reader, that there truly IS no escaping God, no matter where we go, how fast we flee, or how hard we try. Isn't that wonderful?
Here is the entire passage, Psalm 139, that speaks to that very thing. Therefore, whether you're on the mountaintop or the deep, dark valley, may He find you today, right where you are, and you will never, ever be the same. This is my prayer for all of humanity today, and let His will be done.
Thank you for stopping by; be blessed today and always. 💘
