So – Now that I feel like I’ve turned a corner of feeling weird – then let the weirdness begin.  I mean – Let the sadness go away – It is fitting that our pastor has been talking about Magnify-ing things.  That we are to Magnify the Lord.  One thing that caught my eye was in Luke 1 – where Mary says her Soul Magnifies the Lord –  and my spirit has rejoiced in God my savior! (Luke 1:46-47 but read on til v55).  I think in hard times I start to only rely on the Holy Spirit to manifest good thoughts or behaviors.  I pray for His strength – I pray for His Fruit.  However, Mary – in a hard situation said that HER soul magnified the Lord and HER spirit rejoiced in God.  It is a challenge for me – for me to be able to say – My Soul doth Magnify My God and My spirit rejoices in my Savior.  Praise be that His Spirit in me can rejoice even when my spirit is empty – Anyways – Like I said – Let the weirdness begin!  I will go back to our usually broadcasts blog posts about the weird and not so weird things that we do in our schooling, crafting and bible studies. 🙂
