Hey guys! Today was an eventful day and one that was a day of trusting God. Sally had orthoscopic surgery on her knee. We are not sure what she did but we know that the plica (sp? a fold of skin at the inside of her knee) was raised. The orthodpedist went in and cut it so that it would not rub anymore. Sally did great! Kids are so resilient. God was good and He not only had her come through the surgery just fine, He also gave Sally and I some one on one time. Thank you all for your prayers, they did amazing things today!
I realize as we have been talking about balance and the Lord allowed this circumstance in our lives today, that there is nothing as important as our immediate family. For some reason there is a drive inside of me that I don't understand that wants to acheive. It seems to battle for my time. Even though all that I desire to acheive is good, it still takes me to a place of detachment. Does anyone get this? It is easy to check things off the list and feel good about me....it is quite another to never have a check off on the list and feel okay about me. Do you think that this is because I equate who I am with what I do? That sounds horrible. But in some sad way, I think it is true. Maybe it is even a little true for all of us. My prayer is that I would know that the Lord is crazy about me, just for being me. I also need to admit when the Lord gives me glimpses of my imbalance that I admit that He is right and ask Him to create balance within me. I cannot tell you how often I argue with God telling Him, that is not true or justifying circumstances in my life. The only thing this does it make the chains of bondage just a little bit tighter. Will you join me on this journey of freedom?
I love you guys! I know that God is good because He has so blessed me with friends and fellow journey people such as you. We are each a mighty warrior, are you living as one? See you on Sunday! Happy Mother's Day! love, wendy
