It's Thursday...

and I have managed to post every day this week! Wow. It's been quite a while since I have done that. I think I should post something tonight just so I don't break my record. LoL!

By the way, if you haven't noticed some of the new things on my sidebar to the right, check it out and read about the significance of our new names! :-)

You know, there are times that I struggle to hear what God is trying to say to me and other times when it is very loud and crystal clear. The other morning, when I opened up my Bible, the very first words I read seemed to just jump off the paper...

Hosea 6:1-3

"Come, let us return to the LORD! He has torn us in pieces; now he will heal us. He has injured us; now he will bandage our wounds.

In just a short time, he will restore us so we can live in his presence.

Oh, that we might know the LORD! Let us press on to know him! Then he will respond to us as surely as the arrival of dawn or the coming of rains in early spring."

Now that our album has been submitted, our main activity (if you can call it that) is to just wait. It seems like I have done a lot of waiting over the years, so I guess I should be good at it by now. I wonder how long the wait will be. I wonder how I will feel along the way. Right now it feels ok, but perhaps that is because I needed a rest from the busyness and magnitude of our task.

I do know that the journey has definitely been painful at times. I can also be assured, though, that He will heal us, bandage our wounds, and restore us.

As I continue to wait, I must live in His presence. I must press on to know Him... Oh, that we might know Him!

Won't you press on too?

Living in His JOY, HOPE, and PEACE...
