It is so true that the Lord uses pain and situations for us to come to a complete surrender to Him. For me, I believe it always comes down to control in this or that because i am not fully trusting the Lord, the abiding you talked about. I am in a situation that i have no power to change something. I am put in a position to utterly trust God with my 'face'. Thank you storie for reminding me that my life is not my own, and that He has a reason for everything He does. and their is a season for everything under the sun. I am truly blessed by your words, continue trusting the Lord as you pen your heart through the holy spirit in your blog. It is truly for God's glory and you are such a picture of His Glory!

It reminds me of the Faith with Legs essay you wrote a few days back. I appreciate your heart and what you share here. I believe that a day of rest is so for us. God knew we needed it! And I believe that it does not matter what day of the week it is. Thank you for stopping by and sharing. Praise HIm for the healing He is bringing into your life.

What a cool analogy! I totally think that I can apply that to my life in many ways, too. I relate to the feeling like those that love will eventually leave. God has been healing that in my life for some time now. I also relate to trying to distract myself. God has been laying the Sabbath on my heart pretty heavy for this very reason. I want to, in the next couple weeks, take a Friday eve to actually prepare and usher in the Sabbath (which I want to celebrate on a SAturday for logistical reasons) and to truly enter into the Sabbath in that way so that my heart is centered in and before Jesus.

I’m still coming back from a stroke in November. I’m not all the way back..

But guess what… Amazingly…. Dr.s are BEYOND IMPRESSED…

It’s shows that the word from husband is so relevant and true.

And yet, totally amazing. The broken bone becomes stronger after it heals. And the same is so true of us. I really believe that, Storie. I do. I believe that we become stronger after we're broken. It's a very common theme, too. "He turns all his injuries into strengths; that which does not kill him makes him stronger. He is Superman." THUS SPAKE ZARATHRUSTA ~F. W.
