Don't you just love
it when God brings into your path just exactly the right thing that you didn't
even know you needed? As a long recovery from major surgery
stretched out ahead of me, I had no idea what was about to unfold.
I certainly had no
idea that God was about to write another book through me.
In the early days of
my convalescence, when I began to reflect and write with a psalm a day, I had
no thoughts of where it might lead. And now, as psalm 150 creeps towards me, I
have a strange sense of completion; as if I'm close to finishing a task that I didn't
even know I needed to do. I have been hugely challenged but also
deeply blessed by wrestling with the psalms and there's a kind of wistful
fondness that this season is nearing its end.
It feels not unlike
when I looked on my sons and recognised that my task was done: they were about
to find their own way in the world and my calling had simply been to birth them
and nurture them. That's how it feels.
But, as any author
will tell you, the hard work of getting this writing published now lies before
me. I'd appreciate your prayers through the process!
If it's what God
wants, it will happen!
On the health front,
my recovery is progressing well and it's now time to consider when to have the
second operation. I am keeping on keeping on! Thank you
for your prayers throughout this time.
