This Day
LORD, I want to walk with YOU today.
The thoughts being shared here are loosely (often VERY loosely) based on the book by Sarah Young,
"Jesus Calling, Enjoying Peace in His Presence".
I have read this devotional day by day, more than once now.
But for some reason, this time is different.
Deep introspection into me, my life, and my faith.
As a Christian.
As a woman.
As Rick's widow.
As Momma, Mother-in-law, Grannee, and Great-Grannee.
A growing in insight and understanding about this life that I strive to live (especially when the struggle is very real) & the walking and talking with the LORD.
Jesus Calling, Enjoying Peace in His Presence is the work of Sarah Young.
