One more time, Lord that's all I can hold on to. I've got to say this has taken me by surprise, but nothing surprises you. Before a heartache could ever touch my life, it has to go through your hands.
I know you're by my side. NO matter what, i'm going to love you, no matter what, I'm going to need you. I know that you can find a way to keep me from the pain, but if not, i'm going to love you no matter what.
I can't believe it's already February tomorrow!? Praise God and YIKES! Life flies by and yet has the ability to move the pace of a snail, all at the same time. it's a magnificent thing, really.
Thank you Lord for your new Mercies each and every morning. I love you My Lord, My God.
