The Joy of the Lord is my strength!!!
Some days I move through the day wondering what it is that I am supposed to be accomplishing besides the usual physical things.
I pray throughout the day in a seemingly endless prayer.
God and I have a conversation all day, because his listening ears are better than any I know of.
I read the Daily Bread to start my day
Then I read my devotional (it varies from time to time)
Then my Bible.
(I know I have this in the “wrong” order but it is how it works for me personally)
I pray for my Husband, Children, Parents, Siblings and many other Family members and Friends.
I pray for a long list of other things that change from day to day depending on what is going on.
There are somethings that have been on my prayer list for a while,
Years in Fact.
Gods timing is always perfect and I trust him to deal with these things in His time not mine.
But over the last few weeks there have been some changes in one thing I have been praying about
for years.
God's timing has come and I am Over Joyed at it.
Gods timing is so Wonderfully Perfect that It leaves me with this feeling of joy I could scream from the roof top and yet, I want to quietly wait and see the unfolding of His Perfect Will.
I have shared my Heart with Him for years, well since I was little.
He knows the tender parts, he knows the irritated ones too, and best of all he knows my deep inner thoughts that never reach my lips.
The tender parts are shared with Him frequently enough that I am sure He is sick of hearing about them but none the less I talk to Him about them all the same.
The irritating ones change from day to day, week to week and year to year. He deals with my heart on each one too.
He knows the things I wish I could say but don't, He knows the deep stirrings that surface rarely to reach human ears.
I am so Thankful to have a Loving Heavenly Father that knows me so intimately, He Knows me better than I know myself.
The JOY I have in the LORD, IS my Strength!
My daily accomplishments are nothing compared to God's accomplishments in My life and the lives of those around me.
