I've thought before about writing a blog, and felt that I had nothing much to say. But two weeks ago I lost my voice--really, thoroughly lost it--and I find that, yes, I have some things to say. I am choosing to trust that someday, before too long, the Lord will restore my whole voice. And in the meantime, I will practice the discipline of saying things that matter through my writing, using my writer's voice to highlight the goodnesses of my God in everyday life.
Psalm 139, my favorite whole-chapter scripture, begins this way: "O Lord, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it altogether. You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it."
