Hebrews 4:12 NIV
12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

the word of God pierces to my core and my very being.  i'm not who i am without it or without him, and it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart--that is, it alters my course and reminds me of itself in my day to day.  it is a companion that speaks to me and shapes me.  that is its power.

everything works out for Your greater good.  this, i embrace.

i'm not sure if i'm on track for growing in you, but i know that i'm dialoguing with you more consistently than before.  it's not meaningless and when we talk i bare my heart and soul.  i consider everything.

i need to do something about the conflict between my sister and mom.  somehow, i have a role to play in smoothing things over and bringing harmony.  for this i pray most fervently, and for the prayer list.  i think it's one of the better things i've done yet for my spiritual growth.
