hmmpph.

hmmpph.  that noise produced somewhere between your nose and your throat, that causes your lips to curl outwards and your shoulders to shrug up.  i think of it as the laugh of pure contentment and disbelief. if there is such a laugh.  if not, i just patented it.

i've been making that noise for about 36 hours now, but will give the story it's due time.  i just want to take just a moment while i have it to document His goodness and mercy and faithfulness-- oh! His faithfulness!-- as it's fresh in my heart.

let it simmer, let it soak.  breathe it in.  


hmmpph.  i did it again.  when i think about all that is happening and all that He is working together-- working together for good! my good!--  i can't help but feel that slack-jawed, completely and utterly shocked and amazed feeling.

and to know, that He cares.

this much.

about me.

about every. single. one of us.

life is seriously swirling around me faster than a Texas tornado.  a million things are on deadline.  as that deadline is reached, a million other things await with another short timeline.  there's not much time.  to do it.  or until it all needs to be done.

but i can't help, just to sit here, in my shocked-stupor (as if i should still be shocked and amazed by His faithfulness these days), and speak not a word, yet say it all.  hmmpph.
