Yesterday morning I went to see my 2nd mom–Lois, my prayer warrior. It only seemed fitting to spend some time with her and her graces since it was mom’s birthday. The day will come when I’ll lose her too for she is already 93 and her birthday is next month. It is so rewarding to have a “mom” you can go to and share the deepest parts of your life and with that, still be loved. I had longed to be able to do this with my own mom. So, God in all of His goodness, gave me Lois. She says she loves our visits and it does her heart good. Maybe this is true, but all I know is how grateful I am for her presence in my life and her permission for me to call her my second mom.

With all of this now written, I got up early today with a good deal on my mind. As I began to journal I had the worship music playing, but my mind was filled with the “worrisome content”. It was then I heard that “still small voice” telling me to stop and let my spirit worship with those providing the worship music I was listening to. So, I did just that. My spirit began to rejoice and the concerns were replaced with trust. It is simply amazing that when our spirit takes the forefront of our mind, I immediately want to surrender it to God’s Holy Spirit–they jive. My spirit knows the weakness of my flesh which my flesh sure doesn’t want to admit.

God is just so AMAZING!
