Joy

This is my wonderful Joy. Oh, how she brightens my world! Ours is a very special connection. It seems as if we share the same heart at times, which is such a blessing from our Lord because words spoken between us are so few. If you looked up "mystery" in the dictionary, you should see her picture. She brings to my surface the very best and very worst. I'd climb any mountain, run any distance, knock on any door...just to give her everything she needs. Perhaps I already have (figuratively, of course), because I am so very tired most moments.

Onward I will march, exhausted. This mystery is worth solving. I'm learning the true gift of "glimpses of hope". These glimpses are so inspiring, so addictive. I pray for a glimpse each day and praise Him when they come.

I am somewhat fascinated with clouds at present. Oh, how the good Lord has blessed us this summer with all kinds of glorious paintings in His sky. I suppose I feel like a cloud most days- one moment a light, wispy streak across a clear blue canvas; the next moment a large, dark cumulus storming and lingering too long in one place. Oh...to be wispy all the time! I am learning much in the storms however, and am ever aware of my Savior's leading. I find myself often flying blind, gripping to faith.
