Nor have entered into the heart of man...

Dear Friends:

Selfishly, I wish that I had some news or insight to share with you today. Instead, today has been one of those inner dialogue days when I stride up and down a mental corridor alternately critiquing and encouraging myself. Moreover, the heat shot up into the 90's this morning, which invariably contributes to a draining lethargy. In the midst of my list of self-imposed as well as necessary tasks, I realized that for the moment none of them were as important as stopping and proclaiming God's goodness. Today is the National Day of Prayer, and one of the highlights was being reminded again that "There is a God" and He is involved with humankind on every level. Just now, I was writing 1 Corinthians 2:9 on a graduation card: Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things God has prepared for those who love Him. (NKJV). More important than my self-perceptions (especially the vacillating ones of today) is the fact that God loves me and has a purpose for me. I want better for myself than discouragement, laziness, and fatigue. I will walk into what God has prepared for me. If you are one who loves God, know that He has incredible, abundant life-bringing plans for you as well.

NOW, I can continue to my list of things to do, and perhaps even incorporate a nap.

Later,
Katie
