On this July 4th I am so thankful that the loud booms outside and lit up sky are due to fireworks and not bombs as in many places tonight.
I am grateful that the people congregating in the street this morning were there to cheer on a parade and not part of an angry protest.
What a blessing to live in a free nation. We get so used to saying that but when I ponder what the alternative is, my heart rejoices at the great privilege we have to live in this country.
Take a minute and truly thank the Lord tonight for your freedom . . . we are living lives with opportunities that others only dream about. Use them well . . .

Welcome to My Bloggy!
I originally started this blog during a difficult season in my life - a "night" that I couldn't wait to get past. The darkness seemed unending and I was literally seeking a spiritual morning - a ray of light indicating the darkness was on its way out. Psalm 143:8 says:
"Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul."And even as that specific season of darkness gave way to light I started to realize that to seek the morning meant more of a journey rather than a singular place to arrive.
I need word of the Lord's unfailing love constantly. The lies of the enemy are too deceiving, the society around us too confusing, my own heart too faltering.
If the morning is bringing word of this unfailing love, this truth in the midst of so much untruth, than that is what I want to be running after. Always.
So . . .
Seeking the Morning = Constantly desiring to hear and see the truth of God's unfailing love no matter the circumstance.
