Tonight, was different than the prior nights of Chanukah. No music tonight playing but me listening to 2 recent podcasts by God Encounters Today. They both have the theme of this very event taking place right now. I would say this is God's timing what do you think.
Last night I cried a bit during the music, praying in tongues and the candle burning. There are things going on here where I reside. A young couple that fights, I beleive it is verbal for I hear the words at times that travel somehow into my apartment. I have had concern for the wife and yesterday was the day I asked her how she was doing. I did not just leave it at her saying she was fine. I asked again and then she opened up to me. It was Holy Spirit because I tend to be a private person by nature, but my heart emotion took over for a moment. I found myself offering to her a safe place if she had to go to one. I told her I had a spare bedroom, and she would be safe if she needed to. I recall a time yesterday that I began to pray/cry for this young couple. Why am I here I shared with a friend of mine when I just want peace and quiet and my apartment to be warm. I live on the side not getting the warmth of the sun during the day, so it tends to be colder all the time, Summer & Winter. My hibiscus plant turned to dry looking branches where my neighbors that are on the sunny side of the building, their hibiscus is thriving with lush, green foliage and blooms still blooming when they brought it into their apartment for the colder months coming upon us. Today I sat out on the sunny side of the building to get some good vitamin D from the sun on my lunch hour. Wouldn't you know it out in broad daylight there is some other couple fighting with each other with the tone in their voice and words spoken. What is going on with couples fighting? Don't they see the value in their relationship and why on earth do you want to share your gripes with neighbors anyhow? When I see that happen, I think someone wants attention or they were raised to not know any better. This world really needs to turn to Jesus.
Yesterday I jotted down a few words so let me share them today ok. "I cannot & will not let anyone, or anything take my joy from me - how do I fight for this - for it was not any person or anything that gave me my joy unspeakable - my joy comes from the Lord & the joy of the Lord is my strength. When the world sees darkness - I see light - the light of Jesus that is."
Last night's music played in "repeat" mode was "Amazing Grace" with Rebecca St. James & King & Country. Took a few pictures yesterday, trying to get used to letting my hair grow out.

| See the angel hanging on the door handle in the background? She comes out each year to be displayed somewhere. Why? My daughter Katie made it when she was in grade school, and I just love it. I think it's made with distressed type of material that creates the angel's garment. When she attended that school there were some really talented room moms that they made some of the best crafts at school. |
