A few weeks ago (pre move) my pocket bible was missing. I figured that in the chaos of moving it had gotten misplaced, and since we have a plethora of bibles, I used another one and thought I’d find it when we unpacked. We unpacked, and my bible was no where to be found. It’s no fun to lose a bible, and especially one that I’ve been carrying with me for a couple years now, I new that bible, my markings were in it. I was going to replace it with the exact one, but have this feeling it’ll show up one day. I decided to get a thinline bible this time. Not too small, not too large, easy to carry to church and easy to read (always a bonus for a glasses wearer). So tonight, I sit here and am working through finding my favorite verses and re-highlighting them. Exciting to find them again, but I know that I’m missing many that had touched my heart, that I don’t remember off the top of my head… I am sure however that in years to come new markings will be made.

On a whole other note… at work I read a few photography blogs and one has stuck out to me. Jasmine Star is a photographer in the Orange County area… she is an amazing photographer, and has created quite a name for herself. Her blog posts are catchy and you want to read more. And, she believes in God and that He has blessed her with her talent. I find it encouraging to read through her posts and see her giving Him the glory for her abilities, as often we forget too.

Today I went to check out her blog and was moved by a post from 2 days ago, take a look and then go to this page and read what David Wenzel has to say about his situation. It’s challenging… it’s encouraging… it was what I needed to hear. In a nut shell, a few weeks ago he fell hit his head, the next day had a seizure, they thought he had a bleed in his brain. They found a tumor, it’s inoperable, he has 10 (maybe not) years to live. He trusts God. He loves God.

So, I will dance like no one is watching, and sing like no one is listening, and I will love like I will never get hurt. I will live each day as if it was my last, and give God the glory for each day I have here, for each blessing in my life.
