Yesterday, while flowing with the holy spirit, my Pastor spoke of getting our feet wet on the banks of the Jordan River.
Thank the Lord for His confirmation!

Over and over again I am reminded of God's goodness, and God's faithfulness. Even this morning as I sit alone in my living room waiting for my family to wake up, I can't help but smile knowing that I get yet another day to be with them, to lead them, to love them.
I was thinking this morning about how little I had expected from God in this department. Part of me always wanted to have a family, but I always wondered if it was going to happen, and if it did...would it be great?
The answer is a resounding yes! It is wonderful. It is beyond words...beyond understanding...nothing that I deserved.

Thank God for His mercies that endure forever. Thank God for His patience and tolerance, which has led me to where I am today. Thank God for His wisdom and guidance that led us to an oasis for purposes I am only now starting to see.
Thank God for His promises...that I am able to boldly approach tomorrow because He is faithful today.
And thank God for mornings like this, accompanied by worship music, coffee, and an awareness that the best is yet to come.

"The people who walk in darkness, will see a great light. Those who live in dark land, the light will shine on them. You shall multiply the nation, you shall increase their gladness; They will be glad in your presence, as with the gladness of harvest, as men rejoice when they divide spoil." - Isaiah 9:2,3
