Waiting is hard to do. No matter what it is.
Jim talked to a couple of friends last night. This morning I thought of another who should know. There are many who don't know. But there are many more who do and who pray for us and for Jim's healing, and we are grateful.
The burden lies heavy
The days go by
out and in
further and closer
God is with us
He said He would be
He came
alongside
when we --
Jim and I --
and you too?
became His children.
The burden is heavy
but with the Lord Jesus
carrying so much of it
it is lighter.
Yesterday afternoon at work I listened to Christian music. Music often lifts me up, helps keep my focus more on the Lord and His powerful presence and less on events around us.
This is the second year I am reading Sarah Young's devotional, Jesus Calling.
The reminders are front and center -- Do not lose sight of Jesus. Do keep your focus on Him and His Presence and stay within today's boundary -- Do not concern yourself about tomorrow and the next day. They will come soon enough.
