Sunday

 It’s been a heavy few weeks for me. Medical limbo will drive a sane person nuts. This morning my humanity started counting my losses. Let me tell you it’s not my finest moments. I got to church, and I just got honest. I don’t have answers. I don’t know if I will get them. I’ve not felt my best for a while, and I’ve tried to suck it up, buttercup. My body finally staged a coup. After a few discussions, I was recommended a book that has opened the floodgates of my tears. I might need an ark the way I’m going. I’ve hidden from the world. I’ve hidden from God even if you can never hide from Him. When you’re at the Thanksgiving table telling what you’re grateful for, I might just thank You for taking back control from my human hands. I mentally fried. 

The Rx from my therapist and every doctor is physical therapy followed by rest. Move then stop. Seems opposite to everything I’ve ever learned, but this year is teaching me how much I don’t know. Life will humble you if you don’t learn to humble yourself. 

I’m learning to actually smell the roses and sip the coffee. Eat the cake.

    My heart aches for you. But the things I noticed from this: "I haven't felt my best for a while; I'm mentally fried; but I'm learning. I'm learning." I pray the Lord continues to wrap His arms around you, that you have an encounter with Him that overwhelms you, and that a tangible realization of His love goes deep, deep into your heart and soul. You are being lifted before the throne.

 Continuing from R’s Rue I don’t know if I’d mentioned that for awhile I have been listening to Pastor Rich Villodas. His sermons have been a balm to my spirit. I’m given hard hitting truth, but it a way that teaches, but doesn’t condemn. No fire and brimstone, but solid truth. I recently ordered his book, The Narrow Path. And as I’m in church today, the second song talks about the narrow way being hard, but it being the path I want to take. I should have realized my worship experience from song to preaching would turn me upside down. Turns out, I didn’t have a clue what my soul would endure. The sermon being about was it ‘worth it’ to follow God without question, without doubt, understanding waiting is not comfortable, but a part of the process. Was I willing to acknowledge its worth despite my years of waiting. I didn’t have time to contemplate this until the song that allows people to come forward, and make decisions. It was during this song that I remember what I had wanted for...
