TODAY’S THANKFUL TALLY
- Heeding the whispers of the Holy Spirit.
- A friend is unharmed. He was robbed yesterday. While he did report it to the police, he didn’t tell anyone, not even his parents. But thankful that he himself is unhurt. Yahweh, I pray for provision to replace what was stolen. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
- Seeing the breaking of the ship. Truthfully not really thankful about the ship breaking, but to see what Yahweh said coming to pass is another story. Help me to remain fixed on you and what you are calling me to do.
- Ephesians 5-6
- Day six!
So tonight I put together something that I can’t even eat right now. Had chocolate cake from last week and the pudding filling. Put them together with raisins because the texture of the cakes feels like it needs the raisins. And that’s it for tonight! I’m going to do my (of late) Saturday night usual. Listen to a sermon and type up journal entries. Maybe one day I won’t write so much, but not today.
Today I still need to keep my thoughts in check. Today I still need to focus when talking with Yahweh and writing helps me to do that. Today I am human. So I will write. You know what else about today? I am thankful. Thankful for the presence of the Holy Spirit in my life. Thankful for parents, a home. Friends alive. Thankful. You are a good God. And a thought occurred to me that I haven’t cried for anything in a week. Last Saturday there were tears when I saw how you provided and answered a prayer about crowns. I wanted to get crowns for the retreat but could not afford them. But another daughter on the retreat surprised us all with crowns! But I haven’t cried tears of sadness and I am thankful. Nothing wrong with tears, they are good and I am thankful for them. But thankful today that I haven’t cried tears of sadness.
