You keep him (or her) in perfect peace
whose mind is stayed on you,
because he (or she) trusts in you.
Trust in the LORD forever,
for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock.
Isaiah 26:3-4
It’s no secret that Irene’s name means “peace”. And that she is. The manifestation of peace in her heart is a clear indication that the Holy Spirit resides in her. Who else could go through this type of journey and still be optimistic and expectant about the future?
Irene is purpose driven, trusting Jesus and truly looking to the future with confidence. Today she purchased her 2008 calendar and continues to re-organize around the house. For years I have nicknamed her “MO” which is a silly acronym for “mission organization”, clearly referring to the television program that helps disastrous homes get their lives under control by showing people how to organize their space more efficiently. Irene is so organized that she labels just about everything …. even my color coordinated socks carefully positioned in descending order of the dresser drawer!! (There’s a reason that my life is so organized …. now you know why!!!)
Nausea withstanding, she’s had a satisfying day.
Because Irene’s mind and heart is on the Lord and she trusts him so, He demonstrates his presence in her life with his “perfect peace” …. and she was certainly named correctly at birth!
