Well, he was listening to you today. My appointment has been scheduled for January 31st at 9:00 a.m. I'm so ready to get the ball rolling, or as the kids would say; let's get this party started! We'll have to be there until at least Saturday, maybe into next week, they say plan to stay 5 to 7 business days.
When I write something, most times I have felt very strongly about writing what God wants me to write. I'm not a journalist nor a preacher, although my kids would argue the latter lately. I just want all of us through this journey to become better, and challenge ourselves to do something (with God) that we never thought we could do. Lots of you have mentioned my Faith and inspirition. It's God carrying me every step of the way. It's interesting because when I feel my well start to run dry, he will reveal himself again and remind me he is God and I am not, and I fall in love all over again.
Several days ago my Dad was on the phone and had mentioned some scripture verses that he wanted me to read. I quickly jotted these down hoping to get to them after the kids had gone to bed. Well, that was about 3 days ago. Today in the pick up line I had just a few minutes before the kids were to get in and I called Dad to ask him what those verses were. He read them to me over the phone and was still reading as the kids were getting into the car. By the way, the bell rings at 3:05. The kids were busting to all talk so he told me to go home and read. As I walked in, I noticed a blog that had been sent while I was gone. It immediately caught my eye. "The Lord is the everlasting God. The creator of the ends of the Earth." To steal the words from my sister drumroll please...That was the exact Bible verse my Dad was reading to me over the phone around 3:05 and Karla's post of that same verse is at 3:08. NOW THAT IS GOD! I get so excited, He knew I needed to hear him today. God is so good.
I called my Dad and told him he better sit down for this one. I told him this story and and we both just couldn't believe the timing. I hung up and walked outside to talk with a friend, and told her the same story. As I'm walking in, my phone started ringing. Its my Dad. I answer the phone. On the other end I hear "You're the one that needs to sit down this time." He had cleaned out a bookshelf today, and after talking with me, had gone to put the books back on the shelf. He put several away and noticed one with a bookmark in it. He opens it up looks down and what do you think he sees..."The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but thoes who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."
I could not make something this good up. God is the best high you can get. Please let him put you on one.
