Morning Musings

It's quiet ... the sound of praise music playing softly ..here in this special spot the Lord has been so gracious to give me - "my study".

If you could peer in the doorway you'd see a "busy" room. It is not a "neat" room but it is a cozy rooom where I spend intentional time. Amidst the clutter, it is a peaceful room. God's Word permeates every inch.


This precious space has gone through transformation over the years. It began with a couch, my daughter's hand-me-down desk, a small computer table and monitor for my very first computer! In those early years mornings in my study began with brief stops followed by prayer conversations in my car on the way to work at a local architectural firm. The evenings found me, sometimes into the wee hours, pouring over bible study materials..crying out to the Lord for His understanding. My hunger to know God increased as I drank deeply from His well that never goes dry!!


Much has transpired since those early days. One thing..the color of my hair..yikes! Who would have ever thought that I'd love this silver mop that identifies my countenance? Not only my physical countenance is in transformation. The inside (my heart, mind and soul) has been on what I can only call "The Lord's Wild Ride". When this journey began...my desire was to spend time getting to know God and His people...studying His Word..meeting other women. I was in desparate need of what only He could give. Sometimes I look back and hunger for those early days .... Jesus name was continually in my heart... I thought of Him continually throughout my day. The days of falling in love .. my life..changed forever.

As I type these memories this morning there is a lump in my throat and joy in my heart..."..You shine brighter than the brightest star...." playing in the background my head falls forward in submission, one more day, to Him who has captured me for all eternity!


"Oh, Jesus, thank you for giving your life that I might enjoy life with you now and forever. I confess to you my King that I have not loved and lived as I should, my heart breaks..and I turn, once more to you with a repentant heart and receive your foregiveness! Grace upon grace...thank you Jesus! Lead me on the narrow way this day! Bless my beloved family and friends in the faith (and those who haven't met you yet) this day and give us a deepening hunger to be the men and women you've created us to be! In your powerful name, Jesus, Amen!"


Thanking HIM for you,
Judy
