Truth Tomorrow

Blog world, I have succumbed to you. 

I am not a very good writer.  Trust me, I know some good writers, and I am not one of them.  I do like to share about my life with others in some form of conversation, however.  I was a faithful journaler for many years until the pace of life far outran the pace of my journaling pen.  (In other words, I now have five children.)  So, I see this blog as a way to revive my old journaling habit.  I feel like I finally have something to say again. 

It is quiet right now.  Only ten more minutes until “tomorrow”.  I am sniffling because of a sudden cold.  I cannot breathe very well and my throat is raw.  Yet, I have so much thankfulness welling up inside of me right now.  I am grateful to be alive and to type and to have to freedom to say what I believe in.

 I do not know what “tomorrow” will bring.  But, this I know, God is already preparing that time for me.  I will not step into the next day without His creative and purposeful hand already working there.  Why do I doubt, fear, and become weary?  I think I do this because I am human – I fight my flesh.  I will fight throughout the day to find Truth.  Some moments I will lay hold of Truth and be in awe as It sets me free.  Other times I will look at Truth and turn the other way, wanting to be my own truth – never satisfying.

 So, my quest in the morning as I awake to the sounds of children stirring and a body that is unwilling to move, will be to search for Truth in every moment and to let Truth lay hold of me.

                 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls,   who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it. (Matthew 13:45-46 ESV)
