I think the sabbatical was good for you. <br /><br />This was so well written. So true to our Lord and Savior. So true to the character of our human flesh. <br /><br />I am so thankful that He never tires of our "knocking".<br /><br />I loved the photo selection for this piece of work. <br /><br />hugs to you<br />patrina <")>><Patrinas Pencilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08103800317102189590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569182682068612485.post-38534511764114244202012-05-05T00:22:14.384-07:002012-05-05T00:22:14.384-07:00I am so thankful that His door is always open, and...I am so thankful that His door is always open, and that He delights in the sound of my voice!BARBIEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02537827307867912139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569182682068612485.post-11290992969918698192012-05-04T14:00:11.516-07:002012-05-04T14:00:11.516-07:00What a beautiful and heartfelt entry Sonja.

I'm so glad I'm not God and that HE is. <br /><br />I loved this line:<br />"If I could play back a recording of my prayers, it would sound like a reflection of my heart."<br /><br />That is so true! I have read old prayer journals and discovered an old Debbie. Most of the time, she makes me grin. Sometimes I just shake my head. <br /><br />I think He shakes his head too, but I think He does it with a smile.<br /><br />Because He does know better.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671482394424988047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569182682068612485.post-1419476834643091612012-05-03T11:30:37.563-07:002012-05-03T11:30:37.563-07:00I really like this Sonja.

If I should continue to pray about something very dear to my heart or was God tired of me? <br />I will continue to pray then but I will wait knowing He hears and I will watch and see if I need to change my prayer and conform to His will. <br />Thank you, you have no idea how this helps me today.Farm Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998621464797636686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569182682068612485.post-62099677720325673652012-05-03T08:39:49.361-07:002012-05-03T08:39:49.361-07:00"Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down..."Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down, Oh, yes Lord, Sometimes I'm almost to the ground, oh, yes Lord."<br />I am glad we have found this solid rock to built our fragile lives upon.<br />I'm human, He's divine, the weaker I am the stronger He is.<br />Today I feel like the man Isaiah is describing in chapter 43:3 "A bruised reed shall he not break, and the dimly burning wick shall he not quench; he shall make the right to go forth according to the truth. 4 He shall not fail nor be crushed, till he have set the right in the earth; and the isles shall wait for his teaching."<br /><br />A bruised reed. Nevertheless the promises are there for me too.I shall cling to them, I shall be comforted by them. I, the weakest among the weak have these wonderful promises to walk on.

I like that! It's a mental picture that coincides nicely with the skid marks on my posterior for having taken those curves too sharply at times. I now know it's better to still my racing hard as I move into them. <br /><br />Like you, I am not the woman I once was - all petulant & busy, expecting God to whip up a reply to my prayers like a tuna sandwich. I see the reason behind many of His responses, which allows me to quietly wait for those that are yet outstanding and in route. Come to think of it, I have grown to appreciate the silences too. <br /><br />It's good to know better.Kathleen https://www.blogger.com/profile/05245926913888212148noreply@blogger.com
