girls' night out

saturday night was girls' night out at lemon grass and back to joy's for dessert. fellowship is such a priceless gift that i have taken for granted, especially in the past few years. i do believe that i am in this place, right here and now for a reason. as i read mike's blog about prayer i too felt convicted of my lack there of. in the past few years i have grabbed life by the reigns and tried to drive this unyielding animal. i close my eyes swerving to and fro hoping to be caught in the arms of grace whereupon i am found moments later only to seize control once again and repeat much of the same process. in this brief moment i see a glimpse of a different life, a life full of trust, full of hope, full of peace, full of faith, full of God. that is what i long for. my prayer is that my thoughts stand still that i might hear the voice of God and listen to what He might say and heed His very words.
