Yesterday Larry got me a pair of fur-lined CROCS ---from Baumer's Footwear, of course—great way to begin the day---I got to see Owen's (19 mos.) "Music for Aardvarks and other Mammals" music class. I stood in the corner with Purell in hand to ward off "germs" and thoroughly enjoyed myself----esp. when he would come to take my hand or Pop-Pop's b/c he wanted us to be included. Later hair stylist took me after hours to get a "short" haircut to make days ahead easier---
Excerpt from prayer journal—doing word study on waiting—
Psa. 40:1-5
I waited patiently (patience is not one of my virtues) for the Lord: He turned to me and heard my cry (this cry occasionally has tears along with it.) He lifted me out of the slimy pit and out of the mud and mire. (Is this what self centeredness/self-pity looks like? Thank You, Lord that because of Your Presence through this journey, I have not asked, "Why me?" It's not about me—but Thee) He put a new song in my mouth, (and most likely it's going to be a new mouth) a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear (reverential respect?) and put their trust in the Lord._(A-men and A-men)
All my English teacher buddies,---remember that my journal does not have spell check and forgive me for causing you shivers if & when misspelled words appear.)
Dotsy,
ReplyDeleteI am reading the blog every day to keep up with your thoughts. I hate to call as I know how the phone calls are. Please call me when you feel like talking or crying or praying. I am here for you. Would you like food? That's available too! Love you, Drenda
Dear Dotsy, Garry and I are praying for you and Sally Mazzone will keep us up to date on your progress. As I have prayed for Linda Dickens, God's word to me was "Be still and know that I am God." The being still part was the hardest but oh, the Blessings and Peace that came when I did. I already have the Jesus calling book and I love it. I think Linda gave it to me. I am glad you have it for such a time as this. Keeping you in our prayers Sara and Garry Butler
ReplyDeleteDotsy,
ReplyDeleteI am praying for peace and absolute assurance of His presence with you each step each day. I have the Jesus Calling book and will be sharing that with you. Know that you are loved and lifted up each day--Cathy Sanborn
May today be all that you need it to be today. May the peace of God and the freshness of the Holy Spirit rest in your thoughts, rule in your dreams tonight and conquer all your fears. May God manifest himself today in ways that you have never experienced. I am praying all these things in Jesus Name for my friend, Dotsy.

ReplyDeleteI just heard about this on Saturday and I am praying. May you know His Presence, feel His Comfort and witness His Hands at work through you.--Love, Melody W.
