Just when I sat down to have this time to journal, my daughters, beginning with Amy, popped in with text messages of support. It was good to put some of the events into words. They seem to know more intuitively what to ask and what to say without being (or maybe with being?) sexist; I wonder whether that is their feminine intuition vs. DH's masculinity. It could be personality-based, too. In any case, whatever the explanation, their support is sweet and timely.
In the spirit of the prayer journal, I want to reflect on what I "need" and what You, God, not only say that I need but what You provide and have already provided.
A word flashed across my screensaver that came right from You, Lord, at a precise minute when I was considering writing a rebuttal to the article that has precipitated my current crisis. I discovered it comes from the Bible! "Gadarene" references the Gadarene swine who drowned themselves when they were possessed by the exorcised Legion demons (Mark 5:1-20). I may still write a rebuttal, but I do not plan to do anything precipitous, impulsive, or self-destructive with it. I hope it will be therapeutic for me to write, as it has been in the past.
Thanks for the hummingbirds, too. I saw three within a short time. And thanks for the word. I love how You love me! This stanza, with a couple of amendments, captures it.
I love how Your heart beatsWhenever I'm with youI love how You think of meWithout being told toI love the way Your touch is always heavenly (indeed!)But Lord God, most of allI love how You love me (I love how You love me)
