Thanks for visiting my diary. I've been journaling since 1984 and have chosen to share some of my entries online. They are not all positive thoughts, but I hope that reading them might be a blessing to someone who needs encouragement.
If you are just coming to my diary for the first time, please read my introductory entry, where I share some background that is important if you plan to follow this diary regularly.
Please also visit my music page, where you can hear samples from my debut CD, I Believe, which features songs written based on experiences shared in this journal.
I have a lot of favorite verses, but a couple come to mind right now. One that I remember a lot when I'm feeling particularly alone says, "He was despised and rejected and acquainted with grief". I can't remember if that is the exact wording or where it is. I just remember it because of singing it in "Messiah". When I think about the life of Jesus and how much people probably laughed at him and how church people tried to trick him so they could disprove what he said, it amazes me. He was accused of being demon possessed, but if anyone knew what a demon was it would have been him.
The other thing that came to me is that Jesus felt what it was like for God to actually turn His face away. None of us will ever be out of the care or the sight of God. At least, that is my belief. We're all still going to have hard times in life. I don't understand why, but I know that we are never left during those times. There have been so many times when I lost my support system. I didn't always recognize when God was providing for my needs, but He always has. I suppose some people would say this just has to do with my attitude. Maybe it does, but I don't figure this attitude can hurt anything.
