The Alluring Backward Glance

Learning is costly business.... and I'm not just talking tuition here,... I mean the emotional, physical, intellectual and sometimes the spiritual toll.

This week I ran into one of those "everything-is-permissible-but-not-everything-is-beneficial" cross-roads.  Yes, I had it coming... I drove there myself.  Truth is, I have been down this road before and I recognise the signage from a long way off.  Still, my floundering will and 'feet of clay', rendered me immobile when I should have taken the nearest exit and run!

Let's just say, I let the seduction of deception run me over.  But, I'm thankfully limping back to myself .  With eyes firmly fixed on the One who took it all in for me, I, a wandering but forgiven soul, shall stand. 

Grace, grace, oh amazing grace!

D-Day

Sunday was my dad's day (D-day!) indeed. 

My earthly father has so warmed up to my Heavenly Father that this weekend, he not only made a commitment to be going to church, he accepted Him, my Lord, as his Lord.

Now, joy overflowing does not begin to express what I feel in my heart.  It is gratitude galore.   

Truly, God is still in the business of answering prayers.  Thank you Lord!
