Well a very good friend of mine the other day reminded me that I needed to update this! I have meant to but just haven't found the time to lately.
Today I am in a hospital with a friend who is going through some tests. She has been diagnosed with a low grade brain tumor. There are concerns about where her memory is and how removing this tumor will affect her memory. She has EXTENSIVE tests today and I would appreciate the prayers for her. As I am writing this she is in a MRI and they could NOT give her anything to relax since it is a functional MRI. PLEASE PRAY THAT GOD WOULD GIVE HER MIND PEACE!!!
Another friend of ours was having chest pains yesterday and was flown to Kearney and had a stent put in. Please pray for his recovery and for his wife, daughter, and son as they go through all of this.
Things like this just remind me how short our life is and how it can change it such an instance! James 4:14 says For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appeareth for a little time, and then vanishes away It reminds me of this quote....: “Soon this life as we know it shall pass … only what’s done for Jesus will last.” .” And always remember, “It’s only a minute, but eternity’s in it.” Make your vapor count!
Lately, I have been physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally DRAINED!! The things of life have been weighing on me and just bringing me down. The other night I just cried out to God and said I can't do this God. I can't do ANY of this. I am tired and drained and I can't do one more thing. God reminded me that my focus was wrong. I am just a pilgrim PASSING through. This is NOT my home and these distractions and afflictions are but for a moment so why are they bringing me down??? Why am I tired and weary??? I once AGAIN had fallen short. My daily time with God was being squezzed out by the business of life; the demands of life was distracting me from the very one and the very SOURCE of my strength. So once again, I confess my failures. Once again I see why I have failed and how I have failed. Once again I return to MY GOD and MY SAVIOR!! ONce again I return the MY STRENGTH GIVER! Lord, HELP ME!! I need to be in Your Word DAILY! I need to be receiving your strength on a moment by moment basis! Lord, TEACH me!! Lord I want my vapor to count. I don't want to go through this life weary, tired, and heavy laden. I want to make a difference a difference that can only be done through YOUR STRENGTH!!! Thank you Jesus for your help in my time of need! Thank you for your loving discipline and constant guiding hand showing me the way!! I CAN DO ALL THINGS WITH YOU BUT I CAN DO NOTHING WITHOUT YOU!!
Well, I don't know what lead me to write all of that! Just thoughts on my mind and in my heart!
Love you all!!
