oh, hello again...

I shall refrain from posting another blog about how much I simply adore the Autumn season, though it will be difficult, (how can you not talk about something you love?!) Still, I am not entirely sure what this will be about. I usually have a theme, a title or some occurrence that leads me to write. To be sure there are plenty of themes running through my head and heart, but I do not want to turn this into a heartfelt journal entry... I just want to get back into the swing of blogging.

( Long pause. I write something. backspace. rewrite. backspace. pause...)

 I am finding it hard to gather my present thoughts into one neat category... I simply cannot gather them enough to articulate them into words ... perhaps this is why I have not blogged in more than 5 months...

(long pause. I'm thinking... this is harder than I remember). 

Just now I observed my exhausted 4 year old niece throw herself onto the couch in frustration saying to her mother in an exasperated voice, "I can't do it! I've tried and tried, I can't do it!" I now find that her words are mine.

I give up.


Indeed, this is why I have not posted in such a very, very long time..................

So as not to waste your time, I wanted to end this with a promise. So I started looking through all the P's I have marked in my Bible. (I write a P next to the promises I read in Scripture). To be sure there are more promises than I can count in scripture, so my ongoing search was not for a lack of finding one. It was more like I found too many, a plethora to chose from  and then I found this. Psalm 46:10. After all this time of trying to find out what I am supposed to be saying, I've come these words-

"Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!"

Be still.
 
Be still and know ... 
He is God. 

promise.
