This morning as I was sitting, listening to beautiful praise music, and the tears began to fall, I realized that no matter how dark things seem, how scary, how hard, I have a place to go. I have Someone Who is Amazing to go to. Anytime. Anywhere. I did not imagine my latter years to be what they seem to have become. I had no idea that someone I love dearly would become so helpless and broken. I never realized how selfish I could be, how angry I could become until tested and tried. But and thank God for BUT - for my Best Friend, my Hero, My Tower of Grace, I would have perished in sorrow. But He Who felt our wounds our sorrows and was betrayed by us, came to settle the score to pay the debt. So daily, I open my eyes, fight off the oppressor as he attacks my mind, and yield to The One Who is always faithful, always True, has even carved my name in His Hands. Thats me. Thats you precious one. So each day hope is born anew. Each day I get another opportunity to learn from The Holy Spirit. Each day I get the honor of having him take the rough edges of my soul and carve them with His Gentle Hands of Mercy and Love. May today be your day. May today be my day to honor Him by allowing Him control as He molds my fragile tenous trust into an unbreakable cord of faith..........not in myself but in HIM. I love you.Coleen Souther
