For Such a Time as This

During the last presidential campaign I was hooked on a blog that I couldn't wait to access each day.  It was written by Megan McCain, daughter of presidential candidate, John McCain.  She wrote her experiences as a daughter of a presidential hopeful, romping the US in campaign efforts.  It gave me a personal insight into what the campaign was like for a young family member.  I loved reading her stuff.  The day after the election, the blog entries stopped.  I was eager to hear more.  How does one live through a national defeat?  Tell us Megan...but it must have been too painful because to my knowledge, she never wrote again on that particular blog.  I checked it for days and even weeks longing for some new testimony.  Eventually, I didn't check it any more.  BUT, I still could enjoy hearing what she has to say, especially the way things are shaking out nationally at the present time.

The entires on this blog stopped March 12 as a few of you followers realize.  I didn't touch the computer for a couple of months. It held no interest to me.  What I experienced the last several months has been life pausing.  Everything in my life paused.  While I'm not at all eager to talk about it especially through this medium, I have been on a physical, emotional and spiritual journey.  Fruit basket upset would be a good explaination. For now, know that the Lord isn't finished with me yet and my life is still in the rebuild mode.  If one could use a long tunnel as a continuum, I am beginning to crawl out the end.  Praise God with me.

Now to other things.........

I along with many other people would like the clouds to disappear and the sun to shine upon us once again.  April has been the cloudious month in my memory.

There has been some sun in our yard this week.  Two weeks ago we hung a neat finch feeder on a branch in our back yard tree.  We didn't see much action until this week and now it is alive with beautiful yellow birds.  Against the brilliant green of the grass, they stand out as they swoop to find an open area on the feeder.  Then there are those who stand in wait as they sit in the branches above.  When they see an opportunity they fly down and begin to munch away.  They have brought much joy.  As we speak Ken is out looking for another feeder like the one we have.  He would like to double his delight.

Today is May 1st.  While the weather doesn't seem any different, May has to bring better weather, don't you think?  I remember the Phoenix sun EVERY day in March.  I should have bottled it for such a time as this.
