and you give yourself away

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.

These words have brought me great comfort the past week- I'll always remember that point on the mountain when I really listened to these words and understood what they mean. It's been such a joy to see God's faithfulness ....his timing is impeccable, his grace unfathomable. And honestly, my heart races when I think of the third and fourth lines, "the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace". Are you having trouble? Worried about different things? Turn to Him and TRUST.......no kidding. That's all you have to do! He provides- and brings more comfort in those times than we could ever imagine. And we all know what it's like to be in that close relationship with our Father....and when we're there, we wonder how we ever survived without Him.....and then we realize that we were merely "getting by". There's so much more! Take those ten minutes today to invest in that relationship!

Dear Heather,
I know i havn't seen you in awhile, but i was playing around on the computer tonight and ended up on your little journal page. and i'm so glad i did. Ive havn't had the best couple of weeks and today was especially bad...and what you wrote about just trusting God was so helpful. So i just wanted to say thanks for sharing-my life is better because of it! :)
(oh i'm not really used to this blogging thing and i'm not sure if you can say "Dear Heather" or if your just supposed to start writing...so i just did it formal e-mail style..hope that works.
Love, Katrina
