I know it's only been a couple of days since my last post but I had to share the events of the past two days.
I have been facing some very difficult personal issues lately which leave me physically, emotionally and spiritually exhausted. I have come to realize once again that I need to spend less time trying to make everything right and focus on being right with the Lord. I know how He works and yet I still get sucked into depending on my own resources to find the kind of peace and balance I will never have apart from HIM.
Anyway, in the last two days I have had an opportunity to air out some important and painful issues and I have neither died from the sadness nor become paralyzed with fear. I did not eat over it. I have received almost a continuous flow of emails, phone calls, text messages and visits from people who have demonstrated nothing but kindness, concern, gentleness, patience, LOVE! and even a little fun thrown in there. None of these things were planned or expected. How great is that?! How good is our God?! How very, very good. I am reminded of His promise to be with me always --" ...And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”~Matt 28:20--, to give me all I need when I come to Him with everything-- " ... to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment"~ Timothy 6:1--, that He can do so much more than I can even dream of-- "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,"~ Ephesians 3:20.
I haven't been on the scale yet this week but I feel the lightness returning. All is well. The really hard battles have already been won. My hunger has been satisfied and it didn't require excess amounts of food.
To God be the glory!
