{Day 118}

I’ve been listening to the river now for the last four days.  It is peaceful, calming, bubbling with joy, yet always running.  That is how I constantly want to be.  To have peace and rest in my soul.  I know that this peace is possible for I have felt it.  I know that this joy is real because I have reveled in it.  And the running?  Well physically I’d keel over in less than 2.5 seconds but spiritually I want to run this race well…just like the river runs its course.  Never stopping even though the seasons change and the flow or pace varies.  To not grow weary in well doing.  Personally my peace comes from Jesus and so does my strength to run hard.  It is not my own doing.  Hope you are off to a fun weekend you wonderful people!

    Hi Elaini!

    Listening to the river is definitely wonderful, as is listening to any part of nature. God has such an imagination! 🙂

    Pardon my asking (and feel free to not talk about it, if you’d rather not) but, what exactly are the health issues you have?

      He sure does!
      I don’t mind you asking at all. Actually I should probably just do a blog post on it since I have had several people ask. The problem is that after all the doctors I have gone to no one can really pinpoint what I have exactly. It is a combo deal. 😉 I have intolerances to quite a bit of food and adrenal fatigue (we think) along with some iron problems are the main things right now. My symptoms are eczema (at times) and extreme exhaustion. Basically I feel like I want to hibernate at times because I have zero energy. I’m working on getting better though. 😀

    Where did your sister (in-law? I can’t remember…) get this dress? It’s adorable, and versatile!

      Actually it was a dear friend but she’s basically like my sister. 🙂 She bought the dresses at Ann Taylor Loft but sadly they no longer carry themt. Yes it is a great dress and if you want something that is versatile then look for as dress in a neutral color with a basic shape. Hope that helps some!

    I am so excited to see the money keep rising. God is definitely answering prayers.

    I hope and pray that you will be healed, and I know that there are many natural things that you can give your body to make it strong. God has created so many healing things in nature.
