Isaiah 41:10
“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: Be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will
strengthen thee; yea, I will help
thee; yea, I will uphold thee
with the right hand of my righteousness.”
Matt has been gone for two weeks
now, fifteen days actually…
(but if my post weren't so far behind, and actually up to date the above sentence would read, "Matt has been gone for four weeks today, thirty days actually,")
not fun. not one bit.
not fun. not one bit.
I miss him
his lightheartedness. his laughter.
his strength. his confidence. his
determination. his leadership. his fun.
his wisdom. his
steadfastness. his faith.
I confess there have been moments
where I thought I couldn’t do all this, “shoring up the house” thing without
him…
& though it’s just been me
here, in this California house,
I am not alone…
Is 54:5 “For you husband is your
Maker whose name is the Lord…”
HE is taking care of me. Protecting me. Providing for me.
HIS lovingkindness overwhelms me…
è in countless answered prayers
è in His daily words to me, so
timely, so sweet
& in other
ways that I did not ask for, but He
sent anyways to encourage and strengthen me… for, “indeed the Lord will give
what is good,” (Ps 85:12) because His love is that amazing!
è in a neighbor bringing me a fresh
bag of piping hot popcorn, because our microwave is packed
è in an email... in a card...
è in garage sale breakfasts with
mom, so I didn’t have to sit there alone
è in a neighbor mowing our lawn, though
I told him I could do it…
è in a homemade chicken dish from a
lady I’ve never met
è in a goodbye party with spin
friends
è in an impromptu tea with Suzie
è in a wedding rehearsal dinner
è in chipotle bowls at the parents
è in the bank teller having my exact phone charger (out of how many cell phone models out there??? and no, I do not have an iphone, that'd be too easy) so that we could access the details from my email that would allow us to complete the wire transfer and close on our HI house on schedule
è in the fact that my mom arrives
in Cali in three days (can’t wait)
è in His Word (I already said that,
yes I know, but I really should type it five more times…)
