I wake at 4 am this morning
Brew a pot of coffee
Sit out on my front porch in the darkness
Wrapped in a blanket
I Love this
I Love the quiet
I Love the smell of fresh rain air
I Love the stillness of the morning
The silence before the days business begins
I can't help but think of the verse that talks about the rain that falls from Heaven
Making the earth bud and flourish
I watch our trees getting soaked
Branches glimmering under the glow of the street lights
So is the word of God that goes forth from His mouth
It will not return to Him void
But will accomplish what He intended
See, it has been a hard season for Trev and I
This past year
You may be able to say the same about your own life
You may be able to say the same about your own life
It has seemed to be one trying thing after another
After another
We are tired and weary
Not needing life to be easy.....
Just not so hard
The word of God begins to bubble up in my parched Heart
Promises for Trev and I
And you too!
And you too!
We are Loved
Children of God
Blessed and Highly Favoured
Protected
Seen
Provided For

Your Joy is arising in the morning of our lives
