I kind of can't believe day 40 is here! Wahoooo!!! For whatever reason this is a landmark in my mind. Thanks for reading, and journeying with me.
845am..."you're up early" I say to Danielle. "what? its 945am. You're up late". I guess I was tired.
So I drag my tired body out into the sunshine, allowing its rays to drill themselves into this body of mine. And I can't believe how you've changed my thinking. How the joy is starting to explode. How I fight you less. How my hands are starting to adjust to, what is now, the familiar feeling of being open and not clenched.
And my routine begins..."In the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit`` My hands make the smooth motion of the protective cross across my chest.
``One thing I have asked of the Lord and this is what I seek....`I sip my coffee and read my prayers slowly. The intrinsic familiarity mingled with a freshness rhythm.
You`ve invaded my life is ways I didn`t expect. You`ve broken down barriers I thought we`re permanent. Your abundant life and steadfast love taste way better than I ever imagined. Make your home deeper in me. You have seen me. In my distress I cried to you: `look at me` and you saw me, you healed me, and now I walk in new life.
I sit here in wonder and amazement at your faithfulness to me. Even when my fists are clenched and pounding on your chest you still go above and beyond for me. I know this isn`t the end of my story, or that there won`t be deep waters again. But today, today I`m going to celebrate how you`ve been healing me. How you`ve been faithful in changing my brain patterns. You are good. And you do not withhold good things from those who love you. And I believe that I will see the goodness of the Lord in this land of the living. Let fireworks of praise come out of my life.
