This was my first taste of that translation.
I like it.

Somedays I never want to hack away at this keyboard again. So seemingly futile. It all comes out wrong… ***I*** am wrong. And then I meander here… and some of the angst ebbs. And I catch a glimpse of Him.
Vicki? Thanks for this ministry. He uses you.
So grateful,
Ann V.

David, thanks. I seldom use The Message, but when I found these particular verses, I just had to share them. Hope all is well with you, my friend.
Ann, I know that feeling well. Sometimes all I can do is come up with a verse, quote, or scripture. And then God so powerfully reminds me that I can rely on Him to keep going…through the writing…through this journey called life. So grateful for you, Ann. Thanks for encouraging me.
