We need some rescue around here, Lord. Uphold us with your mighty hand.

You speak for me as well, Weaps. I have never had or seen so many people just in my own little sight line who are suffering like there are right now. I mean it's like...someone pulled the pin and unleashed.

He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

Well yes, it's taken out of context. But it's there. It's still there for us to find.

I've got a new thing to share with you. It's called a prayer Bible. You take a small Bible and tab it for various verses and themes for your prayer life. I might use a blank journal from my craft stash instead. I don't like the idea of altering my Bibles because they each hold special meaning for me and I don't want them changed*. It's from Diana, I'll link it right here.

With so many folks in need I think it makes for a good heads up to try to make my prayer life more meaningful in a way. Does that make sense? So in this case, you are actually praying scripture. She suggests it for when you feel your prayers are repetitive or when you just don't know what to say.

Here's one about the concept, I think she's got two. So I think the other thing, too, is as you are putting this together you might also be thinking more about the specifics for people you pray for. Like when you take notes or write out scripture, it helps you to concentrate on it and remember it. You know what I mean...so if prayer is an act of faith we're expressing faith in the Lord's interest in us as well as his ability to tend to our needs according to his Will...lillies of the field, fowls of the air, knowing that his view of the world is so different than ours. But when he starts flinging doors open? Stunning.

I think I just invented believer-speak there.

*Only child talking there. Don't touch my stuff. My stuff matters to me. Leave it just the way it is. Don't move it. Don't change it. It's not yours. It's mine.

Lately, a door has been slammed shut and for our good. Blessing in disguise. You’re right, so many people we know are going through trials right now. Thankfully, we don’t go through the fire alone.

How come Christians say "please" to everyone else but God?

I say please to God.

Another treasured promise from Isaiah.

When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. ~ Isaiah 43:2 KJV

Grief and Joy can exist in the same space.

Write that down.

It'll mess with your head but it's true.

Write that down, too.

Thursday/yesterday: Went to the urgent care at my primary to pull the cork out of my ears again. Apparently I'm going to be a repeat customer with that. No one knows why...

Weight on their scale: 85.6

Went through a whole phase of gaining and immediately losing it again. Now I seem to be keeping the gains I make.

I'm better. Not normal. But better. The improvements are seen in the results. Keeping weight on, symptoms are mild, able to sleep earlier than before, braver about adding back in foods, that sort of thing. When I do get bloating it's not noticeable to anyone but me where before an observer couldn't miss it. I've got Margherita pizza on the brain...hopefully over the weekend.

The pizza is much better in the stomach. Hope you get it there!

Hi! It's not looking like I'll be able to get it before the weekend is over but I definitely plan to get one and try it again! Thanks!

I think it's pretty awesome, too! Weekend was too busy so no pizza yet. I'm getting it though!
