The reason I'm here

I've been reading in the Psalms for the last while - just resting and listening in on the conversation between God and the one who was after His own heart.

Sometimes phrases catch at me and seem as though my thoughts are the words on the page. My heart longs for that intimacy, that knowing.

Today I read: I cry out to God Most High, to God, who fulfills his purpose for me. (57:2)

Not all of my days feel great with purpose.

But some days do.


Last Saturday took us to a local christmas market. Snow floated from the sky... the day held magic.

Isaiah says that I was created for God's glory (43:7).

On Saturday it was glorious to be part of creation crying out praise to God.


I wonder... how would my days look different if I truly believed

that my purpose was to show God's glory?

Thanks for YOUR encouraging words ladies!

Marie - you know how it is when you are the one taking pictures! I've missed you too - Is John back to the grind stone?
