Be Enthroned

I read an article today posted by my pastor about a man who had a date with a prostitute and it reminded me of a young woman I once met. I pasted a link in the comment section of a blog post I wrote about it. All it took was a word of encouragement and I remembered how good it felt when I used to write semi-regularly.  

I’ve not walked away from God but I did walk away from writing; which I believe was something He called me to do.

And so I begin anew. The past few years have been a real experience. A lot of ups and downs.

I’ll start where I left off. 2013. I’d been found by Selah. Our families stretched to include many new extended relations. People whom I’m very pleased to say are a beautiful part of my life. We took a trip down to visit my family in MS which was memorable! We did a lot of fun things and I’m grateful for the time we’ve had to spend together. In the past few years, we’ve gotten to know each other. And I’m thankful to say that through good times and bad, we’re really family; and that isn’t something that will ever change.

I’m quite proud of my son. He’s navigated some very difficult water in the past few years. But his is a story of courage, redemption and the amazing love of our Savior. And that is a story that I hope he’s okay with me sharing one day. But for now, I’ll say that my boy is serving God and I’m so blessed by him.

And then…my Goliath.  Monkey died last year. July 3, 2016, she received a call from her Father in Heaven; and she answered…no doubt skipping and singing all the way! I miss her. It’s been the worst year of my life. But God is faithful. He used her in such a HUGE way and He still is. And that is a lot of what this will be. Me working through my grief.

I work through my grief in worship. He is worthy. He is Lord of all. And yet, I question the plans. I question the pain. The answer I keep receiving is that He is worthy and is to be enthroned upon our praises. So in my pain, I praise Him. I will tell everyone that He is the only one who is worthy.

Welcome to my personal journal. Here you will find my dreams, my thoughts, my prayers. I hope that you will join me as I pursue God.

"I love all who love me. Those who search will surely find me.”

Proverbs 8:17 NLT
