A Peek at my Hectic Week
Dear Friends, I’m sorry I have not been able to post much lately but I truly appreciate those of you who continue to check my blog each day to see what I’ve written. Between work, babysitting and having a guest the past week, life continues to accelerate. It reminds me of the importance of being still and knowing He is God. If we don’t make the time to sit at His feet, life will run away and take us with it and we’ll wake up one day wondering how in the world we ended up where we are. I’m thankful to say that, regardless of how much I’ve had going on, God continues to lead and guide and give strength where it’s needed.
Probably the greatest adventure lately was being woke up by one of the children I was babysitting to let me know that there was a mouse in the toilet. I live in the country but I still feel somewhat citified and I don’t think very quickly when I’m not awake. Yet I roused myself enough to dig the mouse out before anyone else got up and refused to use that bathroom. The ironic thing was that I’d just set a trap the evening before. Did he see the trap and decided he’d rather drown himself? I don’t know but I’m sure there’s a spiritual lesson in there somewhere if I can get clear headed enough to see what it is.
Tomorrow, my brother and I will travel to the funeral of a young man who just went to be with Jesus. He’s battled sickness for years so, although we miss him and my heart goes out to his family, I’m thankful that he is no longer suffering. I’d have preferred a healing that left him here with us and allowed him to marry the young lady he loved but that wasn’t God’s plan. I may not understand God’s ways but I know His ways are always perfect.
I need to get back to work but I don’t want you to think I’ve forgotten you. Keep me in prayer as you think of it. Only God knows what each day will bring but I pray that, no matter what happens in my life, I will never cease to be faithful and to give Him the praise that He deserves. Have a blessed weekend!
