Now let me say -- do you see that smile? And the sparkle in the eyes? IT WON'T GO AWAY! I will tell you this -- I am praying and seeking the Lord... and I have a thankful heart that is full of joy.... For now, I'll keep smiling... Man, I missed having my smile. I am so glad that the Lord has brought me through the fire and given me the oil of gladness... and taken away the spirit of heaviness... What a relief.I cannot believe how much has happened in a month. MY word! Oy Vey.
Well what can I tell you about life? Hmmmm....
Days are continuing to go by and my life is a swirl of craziness! I am rediscovering the goodness of a lot of old friendships and beginning some new and very encouraging and wonderful friendships as well. :o) I feel my life... changing again. I don't know what exactly this will mean... but I know that the next chapter in my life is beginning soon. I feel the last one coming to a meaningful and fulfilling close.
I have done a LOT of reflecting in the past few weeks, reading through old journals... thinking about different parts of my life and I feel so grateful for today. A lot of times I felt like my heart and mind were being jerked around or suddenly halted so I felt like my whole world would just collapse. I know days like that will come again but today I feel some peace, knowing that my life will always be in the Lord's hands...
I have spent an extreme amount of time knitting in the last month... I'll show you some projects.
Yes, all 3 Of these pairs of socks were done in the last month, maybe 2. And this scarf and I am in the middle of another pair of socks and another scarf. I love it. It truly is therapeutic! I can sit and dream and pray and enjoy the satisfaction of creating something beautiful!
I have also read an entire book with about 470 pages in about a 48 hour timespan. Wow. IT was crazy. but keep in mind, it quite possibly may be my favorite book! Other than the Bible of course. It's called Redeeming Love. If you have never read it. Find it. It's by Francine Rivers and it is based on the book of Hosea. it is so beautiful. and So life giving. I love it!
And now... back to work for me. Yay Starbucks! :P Oy.
More soon -- I promise :o)

Aw, that's great friend! I'm glad you are so happy! : ) Isn't it great when suddenly life just gets better? Or maybe it's not so sudden... maybe it's always getting better even when it feels like it is getting worse, and rather than looking at the getting better we tend to focus on the getting worse. I'm so thankful that God is patient and never gives up on showing us how much life is getting better!
