There aren't words....

You know, I can't just act like I haven't written for over a month and yet I don't have words that could possibly explain. All I can say is that I am continuing to try. The aspects of the ministry here are increasing rapidly. A lot more one on one time. And I just haven't figured out how to manage it all yet. I guess that is reasonable since this ministry is in its infancy and the learning curve is rather steep. I know that He will show me how and I just continue to beg for your patience until He does or until I get it! I am not going to make this the focus of the entry so that is all I will say for now other than I am sorry for letting you down and will strive not to again.

The scripture that Daddy gave tonight is really amazing to me. I love the way that it only becomes more apparent to me that all the things I have felt and struggled with over the years have not been lost on Him. I am finding multitudes of verses of reassurance for wounded little girls like us all the time. Listen to these verses, they are perfect! It is in the Message in Isaiah 58:11,12:

"I will always show you where to go. I'll give you a full life in the emptiest of places-firm muscles, strong bones. You'll be like a well-watered garden, a gurgling spring that never runs dry. You'll use the old rubble of past lives to build anew, rebuild the foundations from out of your past. You'll be known as those who can fix anything, restore old ruins, rebuild and renovate, make the community livable again."

Now! How about that for a promise!!!! And isn't that what He is doing with us, one stone, one brick at a time. As much as we will allow Him to, He takes our past that He not only got us through but makes us better women for the abuse! How miraculous is that? He loves us so very much and wants to do exactly what the above scripture says......we don't have to be full of trust to let Him in...just tell Him that you want to trust Him and invite His healing power in your life and He will be faithful to the desires of your heart. He IS going to use us to make the community livable again and who has been better equipped than we have as Daddy's little girls?
