... Be glad and rejoice in it.


"This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it."

It's another busy week for me. My schedule is outrageous. My devotion today was about today being God's day, however, and not mine. I should do with it what He wishes. I feel. I feel like I did to the best of my human ability, but I didn't do so cheerfully. I guess that's the rejoice part. I need to rejoice in what he has dealt me more. The opportunities He's set before me are special and endless. I will work on doing them with a light heart and enjoy that he has chosen me to enjoy rather than view these gifts as burdens. It seems that we all often do that, regard our gifts as burdens.
"Turning molehills into mountains,
Making big deals out of small ones.
Bearing gifts as if they're burdens.
This is how its been.
Fear of coming out of my shell,
Too many things I can't do too well.
'Fraid I'll try real hard and I'll fail.
This is how it's been.
Until the day you pounded on my hearts door,
And you shouted joyfully, 'You're not a slave anymore.'"

Hey, thanks for that, Cass. You're not the only one who needs to hear it! (Insinuation: Me... not pointing fingers at someone else!!)

Much love, sweet Dap!

About Me

My photo
I began writing J during his deployment. We had never met, but had many mutual friends and lived just down the road from each other our whole lives. We "met" for the first time during his R&R but were already well acquainted from writing each other and phone calls. We're now facing the next 4 months apart developing our relationship. I look forward to the day he comes home to me and we can face the world-- together this time.

Books I'm Reading

  • Crazy Like Us-Globilization of the American Psyche
