Welcome!

My prayer is for you to draw near to God as you wait to be expecting. Whether you are waiting on a child, a change in life or a need to be met, let these words encourage you! "We are enlarged in the waiting. We, of course, don't see what is enlarging us. But the longer we wait, the larger we become, and the more joyful our expectancy."
Romans 8:24-25 MSG

Picture of the Day

"Some wandered in the wilderness in a solitary desert track; they found no city for habitation.
Hungry and thirsty, they fainted; their lives were near to being extinguished.
Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and He delivered them out of their distresses.
He led them forth by the straight and right way, that they may go to a city where they could establish their homes.
Oh that men would praise and confess to the Lord for His goodness and loving-kindness and His wonderful works to the children of men.
For He satisfies the longing soul and fills the hungry with good."
Pslam 107:4-9 Amplified

There are many attributes describing God. One could go on-and-on declaring who He is! My two favorites words are 'holy' and 'faithful'. Last year, my husband and I were vacationing in Montana, visiting Yellowstone National Park. (If you like to travel, a must-see on your list!) Leaving at 3:30 am to catch our flight back home, I saw this sign. It was pitch black, once again I said, "Larry stop! I need to take a picture of this sign!" The picture didn't turn out too well, so he 'photoshopped' if for me...I kind of like how it turned out.

Recently in reading a morning devotion the scripture above, for me, aptly fit the picture. On this barren road, one can feel parched; dry, thirsty and empty. But as we daily, come to Him expressing our troubles and longing, He continues to 'lead us forth on the straight and right way'. The Faithful Street. Also, as we continue to praise Him for His good works, (what we have been blessed with now), His goodness and lovingkindness He will fill our longing soul.

He continues to be FAITHFUL, can He be anything else?
