    The ROCK

    Psalm 61
    1
    Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer.
    2
    From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
    3
    For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe.
    4
    I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.

    5 For you, God, have heard my vows; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
    6 Increase the days of the king's life, his years for many generations.
    7 May he be enthroned in God's presence forever; appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him.
    8 Then I will ever sing in praise of your name and fulfill my vows day after day.


    This is the Psalm that I read yesterday and these are the words I prayed today: Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. Lord, be my rock, be my salvation, be my refuge and my fortress (Psalm 62). Give me wisdom to know what to do, how to act, and how to speak. Let me speak the truth and lead me in your peace. Be my rock today, Lord. Amen.

    Even now that the workday is done, this is still my prayer. This is my prayer for today, tomorrow, and next week. Lord, LEAD me to the ROCK that is higher than I. For YOU have been my REFUGE, a strong tower against the foe. I long to dwell in your tent forever and take REFUGE in the SHELTER of YOUR wings. Amen.

    A Quiet Week at Home

    I wish that I could say my vacation was exciting or even busy.  I wish that I could say that miracles occured...big ones.  I wish that I could say I saw lives changed and hearts softened.  But I can't.

    Things have been quiet.  My time has been refreshing.  It has been nice to just sit and read a good book and not feel like there was something else I should be doing.  I spent last Thursday with my dad and sister: a very nice visit with some promising conversations.  Then on Friday and Saturday, I helped my grandmother move into an apartment in town.  Sunday was a quiet day at home.  We did not have church service because it snowed so the other people that were to come over for service weren't able to come.  (Yes, that's right I said SNOW!!)  It was a nice quiet day at home.  Monday was spent out on the town shopping and visiting my grandmother.  The rest of this week has been a nice quiet time of relaxing.  It really has been an enjoyable vacation.  I hate to see it coming to a close. 

    I know I said that nothing great has happened...but that doesn't mean God hasn't been working.  I know that he has and that little miracles occur every day.  We just need to open our eyes and see them.  I have seen the beginning.  I just pray that He would continue the work He started (even before this week) until it is brought to completion. Amen.

    Happy Easter as the Lord Indeed is Risen.  Hallejulah.
