But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them sing joyful praises forever.
Spread your protection over them, that all who love your name may be filled with joy.

– Psalms 5:11

Sleep is going to be difficult tonight. I've just learned the details of a horrible accident my son was in.
He will require months of rehab and he is in Taiwan... not at home where a mother would wish him to be.
Prayers please... prayers, prayers, and more prayers... for the Holy Spirit to reveal to him that people are praying for him, and that he is loved at home.

I have reason today for joy and for tears and unfortunately the tears are dimming the ability for joy.

Lord hold my hand, Lord walk me through it, Lord give me Your strength, Lord give me joy again...
in Yshwe's name I pray.

Depressed - looks like I'm going to have to move, and I was only just getting settled in...
only just put up the valances and wall hangings after being here for 3 years...
It is hard for me to find the energy for making a home... and when the chances of staying anywhere are so insecure what's the point?
This looks like an ongoing thing, as greedy people want to keep upping the rents...
Remembering why I did not want to go into an apartment...

Depressed.

Depressing. People who are unwell, and the elderly, should not be made to constantly seek housing because of rent increasing.
I do not have energy for moving. I just want to give up the ghost... God take me home...
if it were not for my wonderful, lovely daughter...
and for unfinished business with my other two.

I will find a way to cheer up tomorrow... but tonight I am just stuck in the wallow.
Bad news is never good news... never good to get.
The problem is, I am not very hopeful for finding a place that I CAN afford. It was not very easy to find where I am at now, and I had more time for the looking.

edit:
My day began with thunderstorms, and is now ending with thunderstorms... wonder if that means anything.

edit #2:
Wow... I'm watching a movie and they mention 2 Corinthians 5:7, so I grab my Bible, which is always close at hand, and when I open it.......
right to the page with the heading 2 Corinthians 5:7 at the top... just wow, I am struck with just wow...
that's got to mean something... too much to be coincidence... God always with me.

2 Corinthians 5:7 For we walk by faith, not by sight

and the rain is pouring down........

The weight is heavy tonight - I don't know why --
Heavy heart for Amy
Heavy heart for Eric

~ when we're from sorrow freed
we'll sing on, we'll sing on
when we're from sorrow free
we'll rise and joyful be ~

-- no peace for my soul tonight --

~ I wait, I hope, I trust,
in you

having done all I can ~

~ Oh God ... speak peace into my heart
with just one word, I know
the clouds will part
for you ... are the sunlight on my face
so I'm waiting, I'm waiting
in the rain

today I need to hear you
above the fear of all my doubt
I'm listening for Your voice
through the noise ---     ~

 
~ if I need to be still
give me peace for the moment
whatever Your will, whatever Your will

I'm giving you doubt
You give me grace ~

July, July... My how you fly!

It's seems as though June only just ended and July began,
and yet here we are July just flying along.

another rosy glow evening...

It's impossible to capture the color...
that pink mixed with a tinge of orange...
pale blue skies...

I have the most lovely brown thrasher singing his heart out in a tree today.

I didn't know it was a brown thrasher until he lowered his head down and I saw the reddish-brown top of it... then he lifted his voice to the sky and showed his speckled chest. 

I never knew brown thrashers were singers, or even tree sitters.  I thought they were always hopping along the ground, turning leaves in search of their dinners.

This one has a repertoire as good as any mockingbird's, but lovely, lilting, and soft sounding... so peace full.

The sky is all rosy glow tonight...
I love when that happens...
soft pink clouds on a background of pale blue...
so pretty.

red heifer - the quintessential 'red herring'?

Is anyone familiar with the red heifer prophecy? That the tenth red heifer will herald the coming of Messiah?

Here is an interesting article.

Oh my gosh, it makes me absolutely crazy the things that people don't seem to know about the person they
elected to run this country... it makes me crazy the things I continue to learn...
