I just got home from taking our oldest grandson to the airport where he returns to the air force base where he is stationed. He’s such a fine young man. It makes grandpa proud to see him maturing and loving his walk with God.

Today I head back to counseling. I’m glad to get this restarted. I can only stand the randomness of “time off” for so long. I work much better with a predictable schedule. 

As I began journaling before heading to the airport I wrote that today is day 2 of my three commitments. I cringed as I thought about obeying His commands for I know myself too well, I wrote. Instantly I was once again reminded that the commitment is only for today. Tomorrow will be a commitment when I get to tomorrow. My focus needs to stay only on today. One of God’s powerful names is I AM. Remembering that I AM is with me and I can rely solely on His Strength and not my weakness is a tremendous assurance. We will do this together. It makes me smile as I write this knowing for these 24 hours I have I AM with me. I have known this for years. Somehow I’m now beginning to live with this truth in my heart. Boy, is God ever GOOD!
