i made it.
like you.
today.
Jesus is enough.
His arm is never too short.
"oh, my soul, bless God.
from head to toe, i'll bless
His Holy Name. He heals your
diseases. every one."
"God makes everything
come out right. He puts victims
back on their feet..." ps.103
stop loving the world?
never! this journey of mine
has opened many doors
for me to talk about Jesus. is
there anything more intimate
than curling into God's heart?
the ONLY One Who can save us.
the great Deliverer.
pain is a magnificent gift.
if we let it be.
if we swim in the
waters of testing ...and don't
doubt what God can do with
brokenness.
where is your pain?
what are your fears?
what disillusionment haunts
you?
i have beautiful, amazing sons...
but trials in all their lives. maybe
four foot surgeries is exactly
where i am to be. set apart.
removed. to pray for you.
for my sons. to face myself.
we are all running to win.
let's see what the next course
is. the Race yet to be conquered.
I COMPLAINED THAT I HAD NO SHOES, AND THEN I SAW A MAN WITH NO FEET .
ReplyDeletePERHAPS SEEING YOUR PAIN AND SUFFERING THROUGH YOUR SURGERIES WILL HELP SOMEONE WHO IS ALWAYS COMPLAINING .
MY BROTHER-IN-LAWS SISTER WAS A BEAUTIFUL REDHEAD AND HER BEAUTY WAS ALSO INSIDE OF HER, SHE WAS A DIABETIC AND OVER JUST A FEW YEARS IN HER 30'S SHE GRADUALLY LOST TOES, FEET, LOWER LEGS, AND FINALLY SHE WAS IN THE HOSPITAL TO HAVE BOTH LEGS REMOVED AT THE HIPS. SHE SHARED A ROOM WITH A WOMAN WHO HAD SOME KIND OF SURGERY, BUT THE ONLY PAIN SHE COULD TALK ABOUT WAS HOW BAD PEOPLE TREATED HER. HER KIDS WERE ALL LAZY BUMS. SHE HATED HER NEIGHBORS. AND G-O-D - H-I-M-S-E-L-F - COULDN'T SEEM TO CARE ABOUT HER TROUBLED LIFE. MY FRIEND PHILLIS THE BEAUTIFUL RED HEAD LAID IN BED FOR SEVERAL DAYS LISTENING TO THE WOMAN AND SMILING AND GIVING HER GENTLE WORDS TO COMFORT HER. THE WOMAN WAS RELEASED IN A FEW DAYS AND NEVER EVEN ASKED WHAT PHILLIS WAS IN THE HOSPITAL FOR. I WONDER WHAT THE WOMAN WOULD HAVE SAID IF PHILLIS WOULD HAVE THROWN HER BLANKETS OFF AND SHOWED THE WOMAN WHAT SHE WAS GOING THROUGH ???
