When I listen to the news I long for the return of the Lord. It breaks my spirit to see the mess the world has created. Sadness and oppression swirl all around me and my heart aches for the rapture.

I desire to make heaven my home...

I have been pondering many thoughts lately...some of them deep and some of them not so deep. I often wonder if pondering is a good idea. I have had many good illuminations come from pondering but sometimes I make myself sick with it.

It's quiet where I am right now and I can actually hear the ticking of the clock which is unusual. So now I must decide if I should force myself to 'do' something or allow myself a few more minutes of mindless pondering...what to do...

Psalms 17: 8; "...hide me under the shadow of thy wings." What a comforting thought to be hid under the shadow of the wings of God.

God is the only one that can bring the true wholeness that we desire. We are safe in His care.

There is a writer that lives inside of me. She desires to share her thoughts with anyone that is willing. However life has taken over and she rarely comes to life.

Sometimes I wonder if she were given free reign what would she say and would she ever stop writing. We may never know...
