Could it be???

It's been a strange day.

First, I wakened to no electricity this morning.

I came home one day last week to flashing clocks.

So second time in less than a week.

The price of living in the boonies.

I have a "sunrise" lamp which, of course, 

was not activated.

I have a very hard time waking up in the dark.

So I didn't.

It was 30 minutes past time for me to be at work when I awoke.

And because I'm on well water, 

dependent upon a pump, no water either.

No shower.

Yuck!!!

Of course, with wind chill below zero, and no heat, 

I wouldn't have gotten in the shower anyway!

Cleanliness isn't that important!

So, a math equation:

 

No heat            

+ Water in the pipes

Frozen pipes    

Nearly $300 later, the pipes are good.

And I am clean.

Then, it's one of "those" days.

You know.

A date.

And, to be honest, I have thought about it.

Quite a lot.

But it hasn't been devastating.

Oh, I have felt sadness.

Especially around this time in the evening.

Have teared up a couple times.

But I haven't spent the day crying.

And I could have since I was home.

But I didn't.

And I have found myself expecting.

You know, a call.

But it hasn't come.

And it won't.

And strangely, that's okay too.

It's not what I want.

But we don't always get what we want when we want it.

Or ever.

That's up to God.

And I trust Him.

So, could it be?

Is it possible?

Am I healing?

Is life going on?

And I'm joining in?

I think so!

Thank You, Lord!!! 

The Lord is my strength and my shield;

my heart trusts in Him,

and He helps me.

My heart leaps for joy,

and with my song I praise Him.
