It’s been three days since my last post, so I feel compelled to say something. Anything. I can’t stand to see my sitemeter stats dropping after a couple of days without something new to read.
The silence isn’t owing to a lack of things for me to say, it’s trying to decide what to say first. There’s a lot going on in this here brain, and I’m having trouble sticking with one thought long enough to develop it. Someday soon (at least I hope it will be soon) I will have the discipline, uninterrupted thinking time and stay-awakeness I need, all at the same time ~ a rare event these days ~ to gather and share my thoughts.
So for now I’ll send you off to read another blog that struck a chord deep within me (and I don’t consider my chords to be easily struck) in recent days:
The momma code: Days later, I still tear up when something during my day makes me think “this-is-hard-please-help”.
I’m off to read the book of Ruth again. Is anyone else finding this one very, VERY hard? It’s an easy read in that every other verse doesn’t bring up a new doctrine or command, but I’ve been waiting for profound understanding to hit me the way it did in the other books we’ve read and it’s just not happening. I guess God wants me to do a little digging this time. But digging is work. Time to roll up the sleeves.
It was the same with Ruth for me, but yesterday afternoon I realized something. I’m convicted, that’s all I’ll say. You have to wait until tomorrow to find out why. π
I’ve found Ruth challenging too, for the same reason you did because it’s an “easy reader” but I have been taught something that has really been making me think (and ask forgivness) …stay tuned!!
I read the ‘momma code’ and bawled. You, of course, know the state of my emotions yesterday. I think I still would have cried even if I wasn’t a basketcase, though.Thanks for the card… I died laughing and watched it twice, then I called Trevor in to see it so he could get a kick out of it as well. He didn’t get it. Men.
How ironic, I am from the Beautiful Annapolis Valley as well π
