dancing in the rain

He knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold. My feet have closely followed his steps; I have kept to his way without turning aside.
— Job 23:10-11 (NIV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

How we long for this to be our true confession. We are not yet gold, but long to be. We are not yet fully following his steps, but are trying. We have tried to not turn aside, but we sometimes falter. Thank God for his grace until our intentions and desires are fulfilled in our discipleship!

My Prayer...

Magnificent Creator and Sustainer of the Universe, I confess my sin and my inadequacy in following your paths. Forgive me as I recommit my life to serve you in holiness and joy. Thank you for your grace which covers my sin and perfects in me the character of Jesus. Through him I pray. Amen.

Today, I am thankful for:
- the avenue of prayer
- dinner with my cousin, that I don't see that often
- things to look forward to! (like lunch with friends on Sunday)
- flowers that brighten my day
- the blessings, of a home, car, ability to pay my bills, warm blankets
- God's creation, live is near boring when you think about all the things God has created
- days without headaches
