"For this child {for these 2 boys} I pray (ed); and the Lord hath given memy petition which I asked for." -Hannah, 1 Samuel 1:27
"For you shall serve the Lord yuor God & he shall bless thy bread & thy water; AND I WILL TAKE SICKNESS AWAY from the midst of you. There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in your land: the number of your days I will fulfill." Exodus 23:25,26

I had the day alone today; mom was watching Hayley & Kyle spent the night with me but headed to work at 6:30 this morning.
I enjoyed a time of quiet this morning & split it between napping & reflecting on scriptures.
God's written word has meant more to me duringt he past few weeks than ever before. As in any new turn of events, I've noticed & read scriptures that I'd probably heart times and times before but they've taken on new meaning. God put so many diferent people & stories in the Bible & He still puts them in & out of our lives today to be testimony, encouragement, examples to us for so many different events in our lives that we didn't know were coming: but He did. Then there are all fo these PROMISES in the scriptures. Just 6 months ago (roughly?) I was at a women's retreat learnign the littlest picture of the power we have in learning & claiming the promises God made to us. Now: I can't stop searching for those & yearning to know the power they can give me & knowing that there are promises fro my life right now that I haven't yet realized: promises for healing, promises for peaces, promises for Noah & Jayden.
What were just words to me before are now life lines. The miracles int he BIble that were almost common-place to me are hope, are beautiful...
God's promises & God's actions are the difference between life & death, joy & heart ache.

Yes, we were meant to live quite united with God, may you cultivate his presence moment by moment and "live in the house of the LORD forever!"
