basking

we're going into summer in south africa. i love summers here. i love the dark, powerful, thunderous storms that seem to come out of nowhere, rolling cumulonimbus clouds that swell and explode with rain that plunders into the ground, and then disappear within seconds. i love the long, sweltering hot days. and i love to bask in that sunshine.

i love the word "bask". it means to enjoy, take satisfaction in, or to expose yourself to a "pleasant warmth".

after the day i had today, i am basking in the glow of answered prayer. GOD intervened in such a powerful way today. he took a situation i thought was impossible, and made it more than possible, he made it abundant. he did imaginably more than all i could ask or imagine. where i thought i needed to sacrifice and make a tough choice, he gave me everything i needed.

he is so gracious. his will is divine. he is the beginning and the end. everything i will ever need. and he loves me, and proves this over and over and over and over.
