Is there a Bible verse about not going crazy when you don't have internet for two months? I know it's not exactly a life struggle a la Job, but I certainly felt disconnected from the rest of the world! Now that we are finally settled in our new home, (and hooked up to the www) it is time to get back to the Word. Unfortunately, I didn't just take these last two months off of the internet - I admit I have not read the Bible like I should have.
Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
Psalm 51:10-12
We used to sing a song in church based on these verses. It is always a refreshing, renewing reminder of God's love and patience.
If all goes according to plan, we are hoping to start a garden in a community plot this year. I pray that we can use this season as a time of growth as a family, as individuals, and as servants.
