a sweet friend gave me an old prayer book to use as a journal
i covered it with colorful tape...i like it covered for now
i seem to be filling it up with things that are speaking to my heart
a few entries are old friends
i kept this prayer in the front of the book. the word sanctuary
seems to keep appearing in my life
sanctuary - immunity afforded by refuge
a sacred or holy place
any place of refuge; asylum
i looked up asylum - as sanctuary it can be a physical place
or seeking a safe place - as in seeking asylum
the dictionary says - safe from violence - without
God is our refuge - a safe place to hide
internal safety
no matter what storms rage outside of me (you) around me (you)
there is a safe place - there is safety and peace in the midst to be had
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Psalm 46:1
Grace and peace...in the midst of the storms of life...
