Good morning! Happy Friday to all!
I know my blog has been fairly silent this week.
It definitely has not been from a lack of the Lord chipping away at me. On the
contrary! There have been a lot of burdens on my heart this week and a lot of
things that required some time to hash out between my Savior and me. Things I
haven't been ready to share openly as the Lord was working. There have been
times of total agreement with what God was showing me and, to be utterly
honest, there have been times when I've been a little angry at situations and
not exactly happy about the way things were going. But God has been working! He
has been adjusting my attitude at times and reminding me that He is in control!
Not my will but HIS!
"In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines
his steps."
Proverbs 16:9 (NIV84)
In addition to all of that, I have been nursing
my husband back to good health, working, chauffeuring the kids around, cheer
stuff, homeschooling AND battling a nasty cold.....again. I think this one
has just about done me in. After getting the flu last month, a few weeks later,
this cold shows up and has been pretty nasty for the last 8 days. So, for all
of you asking, I will be fitting in a trip to the doctor sometime today.
You know, this is just LIFE! Things come up and
we deal with them. Not always the best way, but we deal with it. God didn't
promise it would be easy, but he promised he'd never leave me! I'm so thankful
for his love and mercy. Sometimes I'm not always lovable but he loves me
unconditionally! Many times I fail but he forgives me and shows mercy. He is my
Father, my Abba, my Daddy! I am so grateful for this kind of love. He knows me
and all my faults and loves me in spite of them. He corrects me when I'm wrong
and brings me back to him. He loves me when I'm hurt and wraps his big fatherly
arms around me. He loves me when I cry and wipes the tears from my eyes.
"Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from
him."
Psalms 62:5 (NIV84)
So, as I go forward into the weekend, I will
cling to his Word and sit at his feet, I will praise his name for he is worthy,
and I will place my trust in him and him alone!
"O Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your
name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things, things
planned long ago."
Isaiah 25:1 (NIV84)
