How do you spend your waking hours? Do they dangle-drip by, forgetting their price, are they seized with holy fear, does history change from whence they were spent, or as breath do they just disappear?

My words have not fallen here in quite awhile, so they spin inside my head. I began this blogging journey in hopes to encourage and enlighten, but most importantly to bring glory to God. The words found here were originally an overflow of my love for Him and my search to know Him more. But, alas I have drifted. . . we all climb mountains and walk valleys on this journey and recently my road has turned its way through the valley.
As David wrote, "What is man that you are mindful of him?" More and more I am amazed that He is mindful of me. This sinning, struggling, heart breaking wanderer, leaving the God who gave all to seek its own. And still He reminds me that, "while we were sinners, Christ died for us." Not while we were beautiful and pure and lovely and pleasing, but when we were broken and black and bruised. He loves us as we are, however confused or lonely or battered. He loves us and wants us to know Him more. He wants to teach us wisdom and grace and love. And 'even in the valley, God is good.' Even when He seems silent, He is there and He is loving us.
