Today is a beautiful one. The early morning is cool and the summer heat is forthcoming. The garden is happy to have this temperature as it grows best in days like this so with that–I call this a beautiful day!

Today our quartet sings for the assisted living place I mentioned a few days ago. I’ve always been glad to sing for God’s Glory. As I’ve written so many times, I hoped the singing would not only bring God Glory, but it would also bless Him enough that He would take away my torment buried deep within me by obliterating it. Why wouldn’t He do for me just what He says He does for Himself–removes it as far as the east is from the west never to be remembered? Psalm 103.

Well, all these years later, I better understand why He doesn’t remove them for us. Our past is a good reminder why our present needs to be so much different. Once I began to more fully obey God’s nudges and obey His Word by “confessing one to another” and so on, I can see why. So often my past is my entry point with a client who is struggling. When they know my past they are unafraid to share their own and begin their own walk to God’s Freedom.

Today I look forward to experiencing the joy of worship with others as we sing praises to our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ!
