And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. – Isaiah 35:10

Well, I’ve come to this blank square with one idea after another over the last few days. My heart is overflowing with blessings and the Lord is leading me down quiet paths and teaching me lessons that only He can teach. So many burdens have weighed down my heart, especially last week. So few folk have kind or encouraging words or even smiles to share! I come here, and stare at the blinking cursor, and leave it as I found it. I come wishing to fill the page with heartfelt thoughts, Scripture and such, but only manage to heave a sigh…a long sigh…and go out the way I came in.

I feel as though I’m only half a person right now, as though some massive injury has occurred and stolen my imagination, my hopes and my dreams…and worst of all, my words! (gasp! What will I, of all people, do without words? heehee!) I hope they will come again. If not for you, for me. I need to express myself, to talk, even if it’s only on this blank square. I hope that, while my time of sighing seems long, it will someday come to an end. And perhaps, at the end, is a time of long smiling! 🙂

Thank you for reading. I hope you will still be here when my words return.

God bless,
