See, I told you I would blog when things changed and here I am. I'm feeling much better today. Thank you for those of you who responded by comments and e-mails and lifted me up in prayer. It really helped. I also attended church on Sunday and got the renewal that I knew I would. I love my church!
I am back to my normal self again. I have energy, headaches are under control and things have calmed down a bit. I really feel like God is going to deal with the situation regarding my children and other things. I just needed to vent and fstarted feeling better almost immediately after I did.
I have dreams, goals, and God has a special purpose for my life. All my dreams and goals are focused on that purpose. Right now, I just want to be a good mom to my kids and a good friend for my precious sister in Christ who takes such good care of us all. God had a purpose for her life and she is fulfilling part of that now. I know He has plans for her future as well but for now, she is here for me and my kids. I just can't believe how perfect God's timing is.
Sue asked a good question today. She asked me why it is that we are not supposed to rejoice when suffering comes to our enemies, but we are supposed to rejoice in our suffering. My answer..........because our God is awesome and His thoughts are not like ours. It seems that what we think is right and reasonable is usually just the opposite of what God teaches us. He sees the whole picture and knows what's best. Our minds are so finite and His is so vast. I did praise Him in my suffering the other day. I didn't feel like rejoicing, but I praised Him in spite of it. It really does help get my focus back on what really matters. It also helps me to see that things aren't always as bad as they seem.
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. (James 1:2-4)
