It has been an interesting last two weeks. I praise God that it is beginning to return to a semblance of normal. Well, my normal.

I slept well last night. In shifts, the last shift kept me asleep until after 8 am, but it was sleep, and I’ve given up dictating a sleep schedule. The body knows what it needs and when it needs it.

If things continue to work out, I’ll be able to physically be back in church by the end of the month. Knowing I will have contact with other believers is a good feeling. Not that I don’t have contact. I have friends that come by, ones I’ve known from churches I’ve attended, and I’m trying to plan simple but fun things to do with one or two people at least once a month. I sometimes have trouble with that because what I consider fun isn’t necessarily what others do, and I want shared enjoyment. I trust God will direct that.

The blog, obviously, doesn’t have a defined posting day now. I will try to post something every week if only a general post like this one, where I can share how the Lord is moving in my life. Even in the little things, because I purposefully look for Him acting in my daily life, I am rewarded with seeing Him in various ways. He is my provider. He is my healer. He is my teacher. He is my counselor. He is my best friend. He is my Father. He is my God!

I have not always made the best choices, and I find comfort in reading the Psalms of David, who sometimes made some significantly poor choices. And yet God called him a man after His own heart. The beauty in that statement doesn’t mean David wasn’t held accountable for his sin. It means that David confessed his sin, repented, and continued to serve his God. He didn’t try to hide anything from God. David didn’t pretend that what he did was socially acceptable and deemed okay. He didn’t blame someone else for his actions. He willingly was an open book. A book that we read today and learn from.

I hope that we all can have that kind of heart. We can ask God to renew our hearts as often as we need. Have a blessed week! – Vicki
