Summer Endings

Summer vacation is ending. So much happened, although, again, outwardly it may not seem like much. the biggest takeaway for me from the summer is a greater realization of God's strength and trustworthiness.

I don't know if you have seen it, but there's a meme that shows orange kittens walking into the prayer room, & fully grown lions walking out of it. That's how I feel after this summer. Not that I spent tons of time in the Word. Unfortunately, that's not the case. However, I did pray a lot. The kind of prayer where you're just talking to him at different times during the day. A conversation without much journaling for proof or reflection. Talking along the way. I think I have found that kind of prayer is okay too. I still want to get back to more of the deep stuff, because, as in introvert, I need deep conversation to feel really connected. But I have benefitted a great deal from this new-to-me kind of prayer.

Promises have been kept, and more are coming next month, and in the months ahead. I feel like I have finally fit into my own skin. I feel almost 50, which is good because I AM almost 50. No longer do I feel like a child in a midlife body. I'm myself again. I have seen Him follow through on heart promises made long ago. I am much stronger and ready to move forward. It's time to come out of the shadows and out of hiding.

The Sonlight feels so good.

More to come...
