A week-

I've finish week one for my fasting challenged. We are really creatures of habit, my fingers itch to surf the 85 channels. I really don't watch much TV, but the sound of voices help fill the empty rooms. Now I find myself thinking and talking with the Lord and then just listening for his messages. Last night as I was saying my prayers and started drifting to sleep, I heard voices from the swimming area just outside my window. There was laughter, splashing of water, night birds and a quiet murmur of voices. I became part of that circle of life and fill asleep happy and secure. I'm learning to be still and wait. I've done a lot of waiting in my life, for test results, waiting rooms, hospital rooms, airports, pick up and deliver kids, you name it I've been waiting for something or someone, but not waiting for him. Last Friday night I rededicated to trust him unconditionally. He is in control and does a much better job then I can. Phil 4: 6-7 When I pray about everything, "the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard my heart and my mind in Jesus Christ". Unbeliverable-No Beliveable!

You are such an inspiration, Donna - I want to be you when I grow up! :-) Did you go see Mamma Mia? I don't think that would be cheating. Someone in the good ole Deep South loves you!
