"Welcome Back"

Those were the words spoken to me a few days ago from a young friend of mine. I looked at her blankly and she said "I haven't seen you in awhile, it's good to have you back." Though we see one another several times through the week, she was right, she hadn't seen me for awhile. I was in a place where I could smile, but it wasn't one reflecting all of the Lord's goodness, the joy that is most always overflowing in my heart. I love being back in that place, where the confidence I have in my Lord reflects, my light shines. I have laid my heart bare for Him to care for, to heal my wounds, to continue the work He is doing in me and those I love. I have "let Jesus take the wheel" (that is a great song Hannah).

It is good to be back.

Continue to pray for me, I know this trial is not over. He has given me new strength today, but I know that I am still capable of growing weary and falling.
