God is SO GOOD.

If I were picking themes for this past week, that would definitely be one of them. I can't get over the way He has prepared my heart at just the right time for various circumstances ... Kind of a continuation of how He's been teaching me to gladly accept what is or isn't on my plate as from Him and something I can be fully content in and trust Him in.

That peace and presence of mind that He gives is indescribable. It's a wonderful place to be. And yet how often lately a piece of me, at least, has been proud of myself, as though I had achieved something! How silly we can be! :oD I mean, every breath comes from Him. I wouldn't even be here, let alone serving Him in any capacity, if it weren't for Him.

In my flesh dwells no good thing. He deserves ALL the glory. I was just thanking Him last night for the incredible privilege to serve Him here in this way -- I do not deserve it, yet He has seen fit to lavish it on me.

My heart feels so full right now. I am excited about what the Lord is doing and will continue to do in my life. How wonderful that He doesn't give up on me but is ever faithful to orchestrate events in my life in such as way that they drive me to His feet. He is an awesome God who thinks nothing but good thoughts toward His children, and truly, my times are in HIS hands. How comforting this is! :o)

Wow. Has it really been so long since I last posted?

Things are going quite well for me! In general, it feels like the Lord has been teaching me SO much, I think especially through life's events.

The last two weeks have been incredibly busy, in a good way. They have flown by because I've been working on projects. One is a 2,000-2,500 article about our radio ministry at GFA. I'll try to post the link in a few months when the article comes out in SEND!. I've SO much enjoyed working on these articles. :O)

And now it's the weekend and I plan to,
A) Continue working on another article that I just received feedback and edits back on, and
B) Do stuff around the apartment, and
C) Help my friend and co-worker Christine, as we colabor together in our free garden plots :o)
D) Hang out with my Sunday school class. Tonight us gals are getting together and someone's gonna put make-up on us. That should be interesting since I virtually NEVER wear make-up. :oD I can't wait to hang out and have girl time, though! Then tomorrow night, a group of us (everyone who can make it) will go eat supper together and go to this game place ... I hear it has laser tag. I've never played laser tag but often have thought it sounded like fun!

Beautiful weather yet again.

It's been a good week! I've been eating healthier and can noticed the difference.

And I've had a number of things I've been working on, and have really been enjoying that.

I can't BELIEVE how fast this week has passed; it's truly flown by.

Well, I'm going to go and enjoy being out in this pretty weather for a little bit before prayer meeting tonight. :o)
