I still find dear Eva on my mind so very often... In a way, I feel it's a positive thing because I'm urged to pray for her, but in another I don't like the unsettlement I feel when I think of her.  Not just her, but how helpless she is, and how she doesn't have a clue about it.  How she is living her life thinking that her eternal future is written in the book, set in stone.  But it's not.  The whole thing has given me a need to understand free will, God's sovereignty, the things that though I had never cared about before or I thought I understood, confuse me now.  It's hard for me to accept that such hungry souls can be deceived by the devil in such a terrible way as to actually believe that they know God when they don't.  So hard.  Even more so, to realize nothing in my power can MAKE her see the truth - The Creator of her soul is the one and only.  Talk about even harder.

But I can pray.  I can live my life in such a way right NOW, that the little people in my own home can feel God's love and hear the real and ONLY truth.  I can make a difference where He made me to, and for all the rest?  I can pray.  I can learn to trust that God is awfully good at answering the prayers that fall under His will.  He brings to fulfillment things that are good - is that not how He created the universe, the human heart, and the earth we stand on?  He is able, and He is good.

“God is God. … He is worthy of my worship and my service. I will find rest nowhere but in His will, and that will is … unspeakably beyond my largest notions of what He is up to.”

Charles Spurgeon, on 2 Timothy 1:9... "Those whom the Saviour saved on the cross are in due time effectively called by the power of God the Holy Spirit to holiness. They leave their sins, and they endeavor to be like Christ. They choose holiness, not out of any compulsion, but from the influence of a new nature, which leads them to     rejoice in holiness       just as naturally    as before they delighted in sin. God neither chose them nor called them because they were holy, but He called them so that they might be holy, and holiness is the beauty produced by His workmanship in them. The Christlike qualities that we see in a believer are as much the work of God as the Atonement itself.  Thus the fullness of the grace of God is brought out very sweetly... The believer's privilege is a present salvation; the evidence that he is called to it is his holy life."

I haven't a voice the past three days (which said days included new years at the Robinetts - I talked zilch, laughed too much =P).  Yes, yes... I have a cold.  I've learned a couple things after losing (and somehow maintaining the fact) this voice of mine: 1) I talk more often than I should.  My lack of being able to express myself has shown me how often I shouldn't. 2) I need to think more before I express myself.  I tend to throw so much out there, speaking my mind when others may just (gasp!) actually not want to hear it.  Humility, Anna dear.  3)  I'm really grateful I have a voice.  When I do have one, of course. My thought process right now: 1) I need to go do something useful and worthwile. 2)  I need to be journaling here more often... cause I've gotten way out of the habit, and I have sooo many thoughts I want to write down every morning I read during devotions.  I need to make this a bigger and better priority in my life than...
