Well watered garden...

And the LORD will continually guide you, And satisfy your desire in scorched places, And give strength to your bones; And you will be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water whose waters do not fail. Isaiah 58:11

My life is pleasantly packed with a variety of tasks that are calling my name! Therefore, my blogging will be less than consistent. In fact, I set up this blog quite some time ago. After much thought I did retrieve the password from the long term memory files. :)

As I contemplated a title for this blog, one of my favorite scriptures came to mind. Several years ago I was in one of my rather dry spots when I came across this passage. Continual guidance. Thank goodness! As a single gal, I'm so thankful for a Heavenly Father's willingness to guide me by the gentle nudging in the quietness of life.

Strength. The King James Version says 'make fat thy bones.' Okay, this is not an end that I am seeking, but strength, awwww. Courage to push through the mundane and sometimes the insane! :)

A well watered garden...A stream whose waters do not fail! During my Junior year of College, I had the privilege of taking a 10 day hike through the Smokey Mountains. Midway through the hike we spent a day and night alone, fasting and praying. My leaders chose a beautiful spot for me. I was placed in a valley of lush, green moss. A bubbling, joyous brook wound its way through the bottom. Moss islands stood in the middle of this brook. I remember the awe of the beauty of God's creation. My deepest desire is that my life my be like a well watered, bubbling brook of the love of Jesus to those around me.

I hope you all have a wonderful and joyous day! I may come and read your blog, but it will be some time before I blog again. : ) Toodle-oo.
