Well hello there…

Just checking in with you all in case you stop by today.

I have to confess I am struggling with what to share on here in light of all the seriousness of issues out there.

Everything from…

<3 total discord and upheaval as rapid fire policies are made and then met with loud resistance

to…

<3 serious and heart-wrenching health issues in wee little ones, children, teens, young adults, middle agers and elderly friends and family

to…

<3 rampant flu and viruses

to…

<3 ridiculous levels of anything-goes in the entertainment industry

to…

<3 you name it…because there is a lot of junk going on and we are each feeling the birth pangs of the end of it all while trying to live abundantly in the now.

So when I think of sitting down and sharing from my heart, I feel pretty shallow and empty and ill-equipped these days to make a dent in whatever is weighing YOU down if you happened to stop by for a chat with me.

On Sunday I was driving to Bloomington to help Russ with the troops while mommy recuperated from the flu….and every other song had the line…

It is well with my soul…

and I was struggling a bit because I surely wasn’t able at that point to give a strong testimony of agreement.

Tired and worn out and too many days without sunshine, and looking to a long week ahead were not conducive to this girl driving with one hand on the wheel and one hand raised in praise declaring joyfully…my soul is doing just fine thank you…

and then it hit me…

It IS EXACTLY in those times when we don’t feel it…at all…even in the least little bit..

when every single facet of life around us and inside would say it is NOT well…

THAT is when we most assuredly can say…

Although the enemy has come on with guns blazing and every foundation but God has been shaken…

it IS …

very much…

WELL…

healthy…solid…complete…whole…

with my soul.

Because the work of my soul was accomplished and finished on the Cross…

By awesome deeds in righteousness You will answer us,

O God of our salvation,

You who are the confidence of all the ends of the earth,

and of the far-off sea,

Who established mountains by His strength,

being clothed with power;

You who still the noise of the seas,

the noise of their waves,

and the tumult of the peoples.

They also who dwell in the farthest parts are afraid of Your signs;

You make the outgoings of the morning and evening rejoice. Psalm 65:5-8 NKJV     <3
