I enjoyed the praise and fellowship and hearing God's word in church today. I think there must be healing power in singing old hymns. I am just craving them. Deb said the songs came back to her from her youth in the Baptist Church. It is a blessing to have a friend that is craving the Lord with the same intense passion as I am. We reminisced today about how we met - literally running into each other on 4th of July at least ten years ago. God has been so patient with both of us. We both have been seeking Him for so many years, but our growth was slow as we always had one foot stuck in the muck! Oh, what a continuous strong pull and strong washing it has taken from the Lord... but we see progress and we are both so thankful for His faithfulness and for a friendship that is based around Him.

"...gracious uncertainty is the mark of a spiritual life. We are uncertain of the next step, but we are certain of God. ...when we are rightly related to God, life is full of spontaneous, joyful uncertainty and expectancy... leave the whole thing to Him, it is uncertain how He will come in, be He will come. Remain loyal to Him." -Oswald Chambers
I am so grateful, Lord, that You are standing with me in the fire. I continue to stand firm and know that You deliver me IN my troubles, not FROM my troubles. I have confidence in Your power and in Your plan. - Amen.
"How great are His signs,
And how mighty His wonders!
His Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom,
and His dominion is from generation to generation."
~ Daniel 4:3
