So, suppose I'm not so good at the EVERY day thing....lol :)
Things have been good of late! Well, that, I suppose, is in the perspective of the individual! lol :)
My health is on its every downward spiral! Many nights of late I have been unable to fall asleep until 4 or 5 am, one night even 9 am, simply because the pain is SO severe that I cannot get comfortable and rest doesn't come. While there have been very, very frustrating times and many whiny moments :) I am so insanely blessed. Each night as I lay on our couch, the weakness and cries out to God result in Him breaking down yet another wall, realizing another weakness I didn't know I had. It is truly, truly only in our weakness that His strength is perfected. This, I would not trade for anything. The moments in HIS arms, the tears turned to joyous truths....oh, while I would never wish this pain on anyone, oh! what I would give for many people I adore to have such moments to be stripped before God, with not enough energy for fronts or to sugarcoat things, for after hours of pain and fatigue, even prayers cannot be sugarcoated...humbli ng, but praise God!!!! woooooh :) It has been awesome. So much intimacy with my Father, so many convictions, so less of self. wow. wow wow wow :) It is incredible....everyone should at least take time to break away from the world and spend hours, yes! hours!, with God!!!!!! There is nothing like it.
Also, we had a HUGE answer to prayer today. I must wait to share the loverly details...and can't wait :) But, basically something we have been praying about as a couple, became a very specific prayer, though we thought it likely that this would NOT happen. THEN the other persons involved came to us, and have been in prayer for the exact same period of time and felt God leading in the very same ways. what?!!!? our God never never never ceases to amaze me! All who are in Christ are united in ONE Spirit, and it is just plain NUTS, when those in the body walk in the Spirit and are sensitive to His voice, to SEE Him work in separate lives. It is crazy. And how AWESOME to not only see HIS work, but to be in the midst of it and a part of it!!!!!!! It's breathtaking! The more I dwell on it....well, the more I am speechless!
Now....if I can take that awe and allow it to penetrate the rest of my life so as to REMEMBER that just as my Father faithfully worked this situations (without MY knowing the whole time!!!!), so will He work out the other burdens and trials in our life!!! He IS faithful ~ I don't have to see it every moment to believe it, yet how much HAVE I SEEN His faithfulness at work! Oh me of little faith :) David says in Psalms that when we are in trials, we are to MEDITATE on the works of the Lord! When we remember all He has done, all He can do, and that He CANNOT change.....we believe, we live on that believe, we TRUST and we are free to live worthy of our calling ~ for things beyond this world!
Love you all :)
