Never Give Up in Life

He is there through our toughest trials in life. Leaning upon Him with all out heart, soul and mind....he will make the impossible seem possible....and give us the grace and mercy to go on.

Love One Another

It is difficult to explain what chronic pain feels like. What has been the most trying for me is that I can't always do everyday things. I used to run six miles a day. I won't say those days are over but these days sure aren't those days.
The best thing I could have ever done with my life is to serve the Lord. He said, "This is my commandment, that ye love one another as I have loved you." Loving the people and being in the service of others gets my mind off myself. Days when I could have stayed in bed I choose to help or give of my time. It's easy to forget my own wants, complaints and pains when I do for others what i can.
I don't have to be in physical pain to know what it's like to have the pain of needing someone to care.
Lord, it is my desire to have a tender heart towards all people. Please create in me a clean heart and renew the right spirit within me while I wait on you.

Standing in Awe

PS 4:4 (KJV) Stand in awe, sin not. Commune in your own heart upon your bed and be still. There are so many things that I am amazed over in this crazy life. I know if I dwell too much on the negative it would happily swallow me up. The Lord has done so much for me. Leaning upon Him in all His ways means I have faith He will guide me though any situation if I yeild.
Yeild.
Not walking through life with a lead foot on my own ways but letting Him take the steering wheel.
Seeing the Lord in every situation seems to be the antidote for sleepless nights and worry.
I really love the Lord. Lord, if I have found favor, please create me a heart to see you in every troubling situation. Having a heart to see you until I can one day see your face (by your sweet mercy and grace).

Saving the Universe.

 " My doctor says that I have a malformed public-duty gland and a natural deficiency in moral fiber, and that I am therefore excused from saving Universes."

Jesus is the chief physician. I am so glad about that. And with all the knowledge we have about sickness and disease now a days there still is no cure for the common cold.
He is the doctor for those suffering, lonely and in need.....Before I found Him I spend a lot of time volunteering, delving in work or school and just being busy within myself.  I really didn't want to feel like something was missing.
But I did. I felt like a hollow shell, four day old newspaper...a homemade cupcake that nobody wanted to eat. You get the point, right?
I did so much for everyone else that I didn't take the time to figure out what was bothering me.
I was making good money at the time and on a quest to feed all homeless people....that or perhaps simply buy the world a Coke. I tried it for a year and found out soon enough that the world all didn't want a Coke. Some wanted Pepsi...or a Perrier.
I couldn't please everyone and I definitely wasn't happy. I found out it was me that needed healing before I could be a help to anyone. I'm so glad I have a vision about the truth.
Now nothing any doctor can say about what is going on in my body can upset me. I'm not in charge anyway. I can leave saving the universe up to Him....
Whew.....what a relief!
