This is part of our yard-isn't it purty?
Here I am with Jesaias-he is so sweet!
Here I am with all my little buddies
Michael and Jesaias!

The loneliness of the Christian results from his walk with God in an ungodly world, a walk that must often take him away from the fellowship of good Christians as well as from that of the unregenerate world. His God-given instincts cry out for companionship with others of his kind, others who can understand his longings, his aspirations, his absorption in the love of Christ; and because within his circle of friends there are so few who share his inner experiences he is forced to walk alone.
The unsatisfied longings of the prophets for human understanding caused them to cry out in their complaint, and even our Lord Himself suffered in the same way.
The man [or woman] who has passed on into the divine Presence in actual inner experience will not find many who understand him. He finds few who care to talk about that which is the supreme object of his interest, so he is often silent and preoccupied in the midst of noisy religious shoptalk. For this he earns the reputation of being dull and over-serious, so he is avoided and the gulf between him and society widens.
He searches for friends upon whose garments he can detect the smell of myrrh and aloes and cassia out of the ivory palaces, and finding few or none he, like Mary of old, keeps these things in his heart.
It is this very loneliness that throws him back upon God. His inability to find human companionship drives him to seek in God what he can find nowhere else."

I just love all the pictures and recent updates, Leah! It's so good to hear about what's been going on with you lately and see the adorable pics of you and lots of little babies :=)
It was wonderful having you and the others stop by awhile ago. I truly loved the visit so don't feel bad that it was unexpected! I only wish I had been out of bed sooner and had been a better hostess but we still had a good time visiting. :=) And Christian sure loved all the attention too!
I pray you and your family are well and healthy and I hope to see you all again soon. Take care!!
Love in Christ,
Lesley

Hello Leah: I'm a follower of your mother's blog, and I'm very happy to have found yours! I pray that the Lord will bless your labor as you share the Gospel with others. It's a joy to see your fervent heart for the Lord. Lord willing, I'll be back often :-)
Thank you Brenda and welcome!
My prayer is that as I share what God is doing in our lives, He will use it to encourage others to pray for opportunities and to step out in faith.
In Christ,
Leah
