Oh my soul
Psalm 70:4-5
"Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you.
Let those who love your salvation continually say,
“Let God be exalted!”
But I am poor and needy.
Come to me quickly, God.
You are my help and my deliverer.
Yahweh, don’t delay."
My soul cries out to God. He is the only one who can satisfy my deepest longings....

How much more clear can it be?
1 Timothy 2:1-6 NLT
I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth. For there is only one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus. He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message God gave to the world at just the right time.
How beautiful a Father in heaven we have!! "At just the right time..." He knows our needs....HE sees our hearts deepest longings. He hears the cries of our souls. What a great and glorious Savior! How undeserving I am, yet He chose me. Wow. What a good God we serve.

Zuchinni Banana Muffins
I baked this afternoon. Like I used to days prior.
When I bit into a warm soft little buttered bundle of muffin, tears almost came. Sounds silly, but a home made muffin means home, it reminds me of my sister, reminds me of my home making days.... :(
I hope, by God's grace, and in His perfect timing, i'll someday have a husband to bake for
