It has been a long time.

Almost exactly a year. I must say I started this blog when I was in a dark place. When I was sad and I needed to focus on my Father, who brings light, hope, and grace into my life. And man, this blog helped. There are  many people in this world that voice their opinions on God and on the Bible. And I don't think this blog nor ever wanted this blog to be counted among those who wish to speak to the masses. I think I just needed a verbal outlet. That makes me wonder, what would have come of Emily Dickinson if she had blogspot or twitter or even match.com. That girl needed a verbal outlet. Yet, I digress.

Lately, I feel as though the fervor I had for God's word a year ago has faltered. Now I seem to spend more time on Hulu or HGTV's website than in the Bible. I still have been trying to read. I have been reading Psalms. Psalms is also like a verbal outlet. David expresses his emotions, even when they are not steadfast. He is fearful, then hopeful, in anguish and then joy. He feels abandoned by God then calls God is rock. I can relate to David's emotions. At times I feel fearful, other times hopeful, sometimes in anguish, and other times in complete joy. Overall, though, I can agree with David when he says in Psalms 18:2 "The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;  my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold."

 I hope to regain my focus on this rock. Hello again DVT.
