Days turn to weeks and then I get off track. So, here I am again. I'm back to work. I've been sleeping a lot. One day 12 hrs, another 10 hrs, and then a nap. My immune system was so run down that I ended up getting an infection. Anyways still trying to get better and get the rest I need!
As the Lord leads.....
Last week a friend of mine and I were talking about sickness and the whole "WHY ME!" question. I asked So, "why you" the reply being (correct me if I'm wrong) "So, that I would be broken. Otherwise it would be my will, my plans, against the Lord's." The Lord breathed upon those words as soon as they were uttered. Another friend spoke similar words to me about dying to self. Then I was just telling my friend how I started writting again. As I was sharing I said "I'm being so vulnerable it's killing me." A Light bulb went on....hmmm Lord what are you doing. Dying to self.........being broken, being open to The Lord's leading. I think I've said before I never intended on being sick. I mean I don't think anyone ever does. HELLO! Two weeks ago in my frustration. I wouldn't have said this, but this past weekend at onething The Lord was really stirring in my heart. And I can actually say "I want what the Lord wants."
This is just what struck me the last two days now. Because every choice in righteousness is teaching us to rule and reign. It's one step at a time. I often think about each one that I take when most of us don't even consider the thought or effort of putting one foot in front of the other. What can I do, to make a difference? We are so busy going going going, but what is it for? I mean Ps. 37:2 talks about how we are but like dust. What is it for, but His glory. I look at the sunset and admire it. I wonder how often we really stop to look and be thankful. It's for His glory. I listened to a message today that I missed during Onething. It was oozing total truth. Please consider listening to this http://www.ihop.org/resources/2010/12/31/glorifying-jesus/ It provoked me. I need to hear it again. Makes me want to read more about Paul and his journey. What can I glean from his story?
