Hello there, Joan! I’ll be praying for you always especially on Mother’s Day. I think you are being very loving and considerate about the tournament. I admire your conscientiousness about the donors money. I’ll be praying that everything will get planned in organized and able to happen in June that would be such a blessing to all. It’s nice to hear that you are having longer periods of time where you feel better. Praise God. May He bless and comfort you always!

Hello, I just wanted to say again thank you for writing this journal. Your words always help me and of course the scriptures you include touch my heart and are exactly what I needed to hear. Every time.

I have been feeling a little blue for the last couple of days too. I did make it through a hard weekend and was proud of the fact that I didn't fall apart.

I am currently reading Run With The Horses by Eugene H. Peterson. Here is the scripture we are examining spoken by the prophet Jeremiah-

"You know where I am God! Remember what I'm doing here!...

I never joined the party crowd

In their laughter and their fun.

Led by you, I went off by myself.

You'd filled me with indignation. Their sin had me seething.

But why, why this chronic pain,

This ever worsening wound and no healing in sight?

You're nothing, God but a mirage,

A lovely oasis in the distance- and then nothing!"

Jeremiah 15:15, 17-18.

Examining the prophets prayer life and understanding that even while Jeremiah knew God's calling it and obeyed, this still caused him pain. So many of our heros of old and men of God carried on even through their pain. Even though our stories won't be told through the ages, we are in good company.

Blessings, Debbie.

Thank you for your kind words and I am so glad that my writing is bringing you some light! I really also appreciate the Jeremiah scripture and explanation you included. This earth is not our home and that is why we are not comfortable here when we are close to God.

I hope it happens. I believe you have organizers who want it to happen. I look forward to reading the book, seeing evidence of how you are letting your light shine for both of you. God bless!
