In just a few minutes I will leave to take my oldest grandson Dante to the airport. It is always nice to have him with us for a few days. I love watching how God is growing him more and more into the likeness of Jesus Himself. He is patiently/impatiently waiting for God to show him the girl who is to be his future wife. If you want to join grandpa in praying for this right match, please join me!

It has been so amazing to me to experience God’s Holy Presence in a counseling session. Yesterday was one of those days when this took place in very real ways. I had a new young gal come who is experiencing a divorce with two young daughters. She is a believer and is being accused of many false things. She just didn’t know where God is in all of her “mess”. As I walked her through a journaling assignment for the next week, the HEART method from Celebrate Recovery, she took hold. Each letter stands for an area to define while journaling to Jesus. H=hurting, E=exhausted , A=angry, R=resentment, T=tense. She had been afraid to admit all of this to God, but when it became her assignment she seemed to understand that God wanted her to express all of this to Him. He doesn’t want us to bear a burden He wants to carry for us.

Well, I love watching this take place. What took me years and years to learn about our loving Father I now get to share with others. He loves His children deeply!
