overcast

 Slushy snow

Icy rain

The weather

Shows every side

As the sun

Awaits

It’s starring role


The dogs sleeps

Snores and growls

Until it finds

It’s perfect spot

For peaceful repose


The fire roars

It’s sound

The perfect accompaniment 

To this overcast 

Morning

praising in prayer

 Today I’m grateful for the biggest blessing to wake up. I’m grateful for all of you. 


In the morning

Remind me

Of the greatest gift

To awaken

To the glory

Of a new day

To make 

A new memory

Worthy of

Total praise


If you could pray for Andrea of Living on Cloud Nine today. 

Pray for a dear friend in a tough season

Pray that I may persevere 


Thank you. 

Love yourself and one another

Trust

 What am I grateful for today

That I may not like certain things, but anger doesn’t serve me. Pray through the pain. I’m realizing You are the only one who can change people. 

Quiet confidence

Quiet strength

The loudest voice

Isn’t mine

It’s yours

As my silence

Isn’t complicity

But trust

Love me

As only

You can

As I await

The fulfillment 

Of Your promises

To me

day

 Sending you

A big hug

As we conquer

The day

The Lord

Has made

I will rejoice 

And be glad

In it

Smile

Dear children

You have been

Awaken to meet

Another day

pray

 Listening to a sermon today that hit me right in the heart. I’ve always wondered if the regret of the past would haunt me, but after this sermon, I’m finally at a place where I can see the past for what it was. God knew when He made me that I would always bloom late. Later than even I thought possible. It’s taken to my early forties to fully understand that surrender isn’t bad. Blooming late isn’t bad. Acceptance that comes later isn’t bad, as long as it comes. 

Trust me when I say God knows what I want. I’m not shy about voicing it. The fact is God knows what I need. I have to trust that He knows what I don’t. I don’t like waiting, but it is my season. It’s one of the most painful seasons, but one of the most productive. I can no longer do what I’ve done, and expect different results. Starting fresh is scary, but almost refreshing. I’ve been unburdened. This is the best gift. 

I will succeed. I will fail. I will understand that the journey is reward alone. Equip me Lord. Strengthen me Lord. I don’t know what comes next. That is the beauty of faith. To keep going in the dark awaiting the light. 


Love yourself and one another. 

Pray without ceasing, Regine
