In the Throne Room

My name is Gigi and I am a Christian...proud and unapologetic. I was a lifelong Catholic - up until a few years ago when the priest sexual abuse scandal hit a bit too close to home. And rocked my very foundation of beliefs. But by the GRACE of my Lord Jesus Christ, I am finding my way back - not to Catholicism, but to my Savior. This is my journey...I would love it if you would share it with me. Sit with me for awhile, won't you...in the Throne Room of the Lord.

Day by Day

I know I'm telling my age when I recite these song lyrics...

Day by day
Day by day
O dear Lord
Three things I pray
To see thee more clearly
Love thee more dearly
Follow thee more nearly
Day by Day

excerpt from the musical Godspell, c 1973

I don't make resolutions for the new year, but the above represent my heart's desire for 2010.

How about you? What are your aspirations for the coming year?

My heart has heard you say, "Come and talk with me." And my heart responds, "LORD, I am coming." Psalm 27:8 NLT

Lovely song words.; January 2, 2010 at 2:47 PM
Gigi said...: Dawn, knowing what your word was for this past year and how it truly turned out to be...I'm almost afraid to know what your word for 2010 is!! But you know the curiosity is getting the best of me, so off to your blog I go!; January 2, 2010 at 5:52 PM
Jody said...: Oh the memories of Godspell. Our high school did it one year. Day by day, and breath by breath.; January 2, 2010 at 7:38 PM
Gigi said...: Mine too, Jody...right around the time it came out LOL! I went to a Catholic high school and would you believe that during the intermission they served up watered down wine to the audience? Ahh...life in the early 70s! I almost posted the video just to give my kids a laugh at the "hippies!"; January 2, 2010 at 8:26 PM
Diane@Diane's Place said...: No resolutions here. I know that I'd just be setting myself up to fail. Just being honest here because I know how weak I am.

My aspiration is to walk closer to my Savior this year than in times past.

Have a great week, dear friend. :o)

Love and hugs,

I have a desire to be missional. However, I can't just leave my responsibilities to go on mission trips. So, I decided to continue doing the things I've been doing and begin another blog that promotes my efforts on Examiner.com.
That is a step up and further, the little money I earn on Examiner will go to a charitable cause this coming Christmas.; January 4, 2010 at 6:02 PM

On July 8, 2008 my Sweet Hubby was hospitalized for what we thought was a bleeding ulcer. On July 10, 2008 he was diagnosed with Stage IV pancreatic cancer with metastases to his liver. Truly a diagnosis no one ever wants to hear...

From the very hour he was diagnosed, we determined that we would continue to place our trust and faith in the Lord and seek to always honor and glorify Him. Yes, even (especially!) in the midst of chaos. One thing that we KNOW for sure is that God is good ALL the time! We are blessed...

**I've been putting off the update to my intro for quite some time now. But delaying it doesn't change the truth...my new reality. On November 9th, 2008, my Sweet Hubby went to be with Jesus. I miss him every minute of every hour of every day. And I will, until I close my eyes for the last time on this earth only to reopen them in Paradise and see His face...and the face of my beloved once again. But for now, I pray to know God's will for me that I might be used to glorify Him.
