Friday

The last two days have been quite quiet at the office job, so I left a bit early both days.  Yesterday  some errands got done and today a dent was made in some mowing and other yard chores.  It's so very nice to feel slightly ahead of the game.

RUN:  On track for a "complete" week.

READ:  Finished 41.

"Today let's embrace the blessing of His loving presence so we can confidently say, 'The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.'"  What does it mean for the Lord to be my helper?  The Monday Bible study is called Stuck - the idea is to determine where we are "stuck" and then to move out of that place via and toward biblical truth.

My thoughts at the moment are stuck on "help" or "helper."  There is something tender...raw at the core that feels very vulnerable in waiting for...trusting in a "helper," because the reality is a helper has all too often not be available, or has failed to come through.  So instead there is there result of years of self-training to not need help -- because it won't be there anyway.  So what does one do with God as a helper...when it seems He too has forgotten.

Yet...I am reminded for Corrie Ten Boom's embroidery story - the messy thread on the back produces a beautiful story on the front.  And Dan Allander's story approach to life...our lives are but a few lines, although they may seem insignificant they are essential in the very grand story of humanity.

The biblical truth is that of being seen...of being known...of being heard...of being helped...of being loved.

'Tis enough thought...and that takes care of WRITE.
