A prayer life and laying everything down at Jesus's feet and letting Him, is the Very foundation of true recovery from dark thoughts, and being miserable. He already knows me and loves me so actually verbalizing to Him how I am feel is not going to shock Him or tell Him anything He doesn't already know. And yes He loves me, right.where.I.am. That just blows me away.
I am thankful today for: God, Mark,family, His word, light, the ability to feel, hear, touch, smell,the gift of love and feeling love, friends, better health, church family, sisters, the ones who carry the Light without weariness, missionaries, memories, my Daddy and his sweet smile and personality, my faithful Mother, grandparents, Mrs. Certain for taking me to vacation Bible school, for knowing the difference between right and wrong...............
I was thinking earlier how I knew Mark's favorite color, food, his favorite places to visit, and mostly everything he likes and dislikes. Then I realized I had no ideal what his favorite Bible verse is!? How sad that I had not asked Him this most important question ever? How sad I did not know what Mark carries close in his heart. So I am going to close with Mark's favorite (one of his, I learned there are a few) Bible verses. It comes from I Thessalonians 4:11-12, "make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.
I seek a closer walk with God and hope if I have misled anyone or haven't been a good example you will forgive me. Grace, grace God's grace!
One day at a time, II Thessalonians 5: 16-18.
Love this. Love you.
