I knew the feeling this week of finding "no place of repentance , though he sought it carefully with tears."  Hebrews 12:17
But now . . .  My heart is light and free!  Oh, the abundance of joy and peace that floods one's soul as VICTORY is won!!!  The battle's over and it is sweet!  I do feel like a little girl (once again) and wish there were it were raining so I could go outside and  skip through puddles . . . hold my hands and face up to the sky  and just get soaked in the rain!!!
 . . . Yes . . .  It took the physical act of going through some of my clothing and getting rid of articles that maybe were ok, but were a stumbling block to my heart's peace and joy.   I want to bring "greater joy" to my "parents" and to my church, and to my Lord! . . . Nowdays parents wishes are often "thrown in the back room" so to speak . . .  God calls us to "honor".   I will do His bidding.
Aimee,
ReplyDeleteI just found your comment under one of my (sister's) postcards (from Holmes Co.). It's so nice to meet you. I lived two years in the Shenandoah Valley, and it was so beautiful.
