rising

No sooner had I clicked "Publish Post" below did my phone ring and ring and ring. Had some good talks/listens with a couple of very dear friends. Seems I have been sending out a "Do Not Disturb" vibe. Hmmm.

Been going to a devotions website every morning and I feel my spirit growing from the nurture of His Word. From Tuesdays's reading, I realized my need to find an avenue to give of myself, give something back to the community that houses, feeds and clothes us as an expression of gratitude to the One who has given me favor. Once I get through this move quandry, I will find a place to serve, at least once a month.

Began reading "Crossing the Tiber" by Steven Ray which is the story of his journey from the Protestant to the Catholic Church. Absolutely fascinating. Fifteen hundred years of history that gets overlooked . . . And this because a friend of mine is on her own journey to Catholicism. She inspired me to return to my passion to study.

Tomorrow night, TT and I are hosting her and her husband for a casual dinner and deep discussion of faith issues. I can hardly wait!

My back screamed hard today. I now have an appointment October 6 with a neurosurgeon. He has a fabby reputation here. I long to live pain free and be able to resume walking for exercise.

To those who pray for us, please don't stop. I have only crawled out of the pit. Have a long way to go to be strong and faithful. To those who send love and good wishes, keep sending them!
