If my heart has grown cold
There Your love will unfold
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand
When I’m blind to my way
There Your Spirit will pray
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand

Oceans will part
Nations come
At the whisper of Your call
Hope will rise
Glory shown
In my life Your will be done

Present suffering may pass
Lord Your mercy will last
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand
And my heart will find praise
I’ll delight in Your way
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand

Never knew the heart could be so burdened for others. Never fully understood what it is to pray for others. Never knew that truly, anything can happen. Never fully understood how it is to depend completely on prayer.

Now I do. It is AMAZING when at the end of it, you see God glorified- but oh! How nail-biting it was when you were in the middle of it, waiting for an outcome.

From yesterday’s OurDailyBread – am I being spied on?

Thank You.

The One and True Living One is with us!

Blessed Easter everyone.

The only day of the year I’d be up earlier than planned is when daylight saving ends. Woke up at 730am without the aid of the alarm, just by the bright light shining through the gap between my heavy curtains. The alarm was set at 8am but if you think about it, hey! I woke up at 630am!

It’s nice to see the sun again instead of the dark gloom sky when you get out of bed. Makes getting out of bed so slightly more bearable.

This is the day that the greatest Gift was gifted to us!

There is no doubt that gifts are nice but I look forward to celebrating Christmas in peace. Literal quietness that’s missing in my daily life – whether physically or mentally. There’s always something happening in this house or at work or even in my head when I’m asleep (dreams are robbing me of restful sleep).

Why? Why would one want to spend Christmas alone (apart from it being a lack of choice)?

I want to spend this time to refocus on THE true reason for Christmas.
Ask me now and I can rattle the reason to you but I have to honestly say, it will lack some enthusiasm. I feel so far away and it’s not something I’m proud of admitting. I try, then I stumble. I stay where I am for a while, then I try again.
I can only say that I am VERY glad that God is always faithful!

The term “Scrooge” or “grinch” is used when one does not display a “Christmas spirit” at the end of the year – but really…what is the “Christmas spirit”? Or rather, what is the world’s definition of “Christmas spirit”?

I have no planned script for this post – it’s all over the place!

I look forward to time alone.
