February 19th, 2011

Dear Yahweh~I'm sorry I haven't written here recently. It's been more than two weeks! And so much has happened since then! Raquel came home, I turned 15, Elsie turned11, and even more! Today was my birthday party, and it didn't go as planned. But I know that YOU are in control and that you always have a plan unlike your unfaithful daughter who so often ignores Your Word! Lord, I've been thinking lately(dangerous business, I know), how in the Ginny Owens song, "Call me Beautiful", the first verse nearly describes me nearly to a T:
I've been waiting
For a hero who's brave and strong
Someone to love me
Someone to tell me I belong
So I pretend I'm satisfied
And I stand watching on the sidelines
Till You pull me into the light
And say, 'It's your turn now 
welcome to your life'
And You call me beautiful
And say You've loved me all along
And You've always held the keys
to unlock my soul
Oh, You call me beautiful

Lord, why do you love me so much? You call me beautiful! You love enough to call me beautiful! Even me! For me, that is something inconceivable. I can't imagine someone who can see all of the sins I commit and what I think call me beautiful? Help me to remember your love at all times, especially when I feel so alone!
Your daughter, who You call beautiful,
Moriah

Groundhog Day, 2011

Oh my Lord~
Thank-you for keeping us safe during the blizzard and blackout, despite Margary setting her hair on fire and the hot water not quite working for a while. Thank-you for keeping my heart at peace throughout these last two days, Prince of Peace. Today was just wonderful! I got to talk with Raquel for about and hour and it was simply Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! (Yes it really did mean that much to me!) And in February, this month of Thankfulness, today I am thankful for a family who loves me even as I am, and who is nowhere near perfect, but wonderful just the same.
Yours, not my own,
Moriah

February 1st 2011 (short note)

Dear Lord~
I know it's usually my tradition to write every night, but today
has gone so unusually well, that I had to. I'm writing to thank your everlasting
mercies in letting us video chat with Raquel today. It has really lifted
my spirits!
Respectfully yours,
Moriah
