The Sparrow Still Falls: January 2014

Friday, January 31, 2014

You are the best!

On January 31, 1997, Matthew and I were in Las Vegas for his work. He would get up early and leave for a conference, and I would sleep in and join him later. On January 31, he left me this note:

I looked it up and it said: "There are many good women, but you are the best!" It made my heart flutter and it made me smile ear to ear. I'm so incredibly thankful for him and his love. And so glad that God knew I needed him. That note now lives in my Bible holding the place of Proverbs 31:29.

(Also, let's take a minute to smile at the "beep me"...those were the days, right?)

About This Blog and Me

God knows everything that occurs, not even a sparrow falls without God seeing.

"Matthew ten, verse twenty-nine," Vincenzo Guiliani said quietly. " 'Not one sparrow can fall to the ground without your father knowing it' "

"But . . . the sparrow still falls," Felipe said.

His eye is on the sparrow and I know He is watching me.

It's quite overwhelming to start this process and this blog. I have so many thoughts and history swarming in my head. I've written them in various places throughout life . . . another blog, emails, journals, websites, etc. But I know it will be good to get them out in one place. Maybe not always in a logical order, but I'm fine with that. And maybe it will be a healing process as well. And maybe it will help me figure out where I can go from here. Because I honestly don't know. I do know that despite moments of sadness which I've accepted will always be a part of my life, I'm overall very happy and content where God has me now. I think back to rougher times and am in awe that I am able to write that last sentence. Praise the Lord!
