ME...

Today is all about me.... that is because it is my Birthday!!!! And what a day it has been...

Started right after midnight when two good friends called to let me know it was my Birthday. And it just continued to be good.... loved getting different messages when someone had posted something on my facebook wall... but,

...the best part was a phone call while having breakfast with a friend whom I share this day with. I think the part that made this good was the way my eyes lit up and the warm fuzzy feeling I got in my heart.... should actually have made my broken heart ache.... but, my heart glowed with His light and the only word I can think of to describe it is Hope!!

Anyways that said, I just feel so much Love and this bold kind of confidence that I have never ever experienced before. I can't explain it, and if I tried who knows what others would think of the thoughts I've been having.

I Know what I would have liked to have for my Birthday, but.... all I can do is Hope and Wait upon the Lord. Daddy God knows my heart really really well and Knows at this particular moment I WANT and NEED to be still before HIM and Listen to HIS voice. I NEED SILENCE.... yes, you read that right.... may be a hard thing for me to achieve, but Daddy GOD knows. HE knows too that though I would have liked something else for my Birthday, I am completely happy with the way it played out throughout the day.

I want to share the prayer in "every woman, every day" by Shannon Ethridge for today:

As much as I'm able to love someone I can't see or touch, Jesus, I love You. I know You are real. I know You are here with me and even within me, but I have to admit sometimes I just want someone with skin on to love and love me back.

Forgive me for feeling that You aren't enough, Jesus. Would You let me feel Your touch? Would You let me know Your heart intimately? Would You help me hear Your voice? Be enough for me, Lord. Help me be satisfied in You.

The only part I may change is that I DO KNOW HE is enough.... I am satisfied with HIM.... and the truth is I don't just want someone with skin on to love and love me back.... Daddy GOD and I KNOW who I WANT as that someone... I think he has already stolen my heart, just wish he could give me his!!
