I just reread what I had written on the 8th, my last entry.  The past couple of days I was unable to connect.  As I look back on these past days I see why it is important to disconnect from man and connect more fully with God the Creator.  We got back home last early evening.  I felt like I’d been in a time warp.  It is so good to be disconnected for a short time so one can see differently what has been weighing them down and the weight keeping one from seeing what God has wanted them to see.

I found myself at Yellowstone thinking just how magical the place is.  Man has all kinds of evolutionary ideas about the “below the earth” development of the place.  But only God knows what it is truly like below what we see.  Then, this morning while it was still dark and I was having my devotions, God said to look up.  As I did I instantly realized that this minute spot on earth is almost invisible to the immensity of the universe still waiting to be explored.  There is so much to what God has waiting for us if we will just look up.  The issues of man are and can be overwhelming at times.  Looking up to see that this God of Creation has not only created us, but has a mighty plan for each one of us as we are able to find Him.

The other thing that is truly BIG to me this morning is FREEDOM.  Yes, our country’s freedom is immense and so appreciated.  However, I am referencing the freedom which comes only from the GRACE OF GOD.  This recent awakening God has provided me regarding the absence of mom’s intimacy and its connection to my thinking about my value to God and man seems gone.  I’m sure there are times when I’ll have thoughts of this nature again, but I now have the ability to tell its source where He can go for I am not alone any longer.  The intimacy of my God and Savior is also now my Protector.  I not only can claim this, but I now believe it fully as true.  It is true for you too if you ever struggle as I have all my life.  Take whatever time you need to work this through with God and seek help if needed.  The outcome is nothing less than a Miracle of Grace awaiting for you.
