Getting ready to go on a trip and will be away from from Marvin for about 2 weeks. It is another lesson in trust.
About a month ago I went through a time of letting go...a time of coming to grips with what I know in my head, but don't always act on: I am not God. Duh.
But when it comes to the care of my husband and my desire to keep him around longer, it's not easy to let go.
God reminded me in several important ways that He is God and I am not. He holds the power of Life and Death; I do not. So...now I'm going to be practicing.
It reminds me of the time when Sharon went to boarding school in 7th grade -1,000 miles from us. God said, "Can you go with her?" "No." He whispered back, "Can I go with her?" "Yes." I thought I learned that lesson, but obviously it's one that has to be repeated throughout our lifetime.
Why don't lessons stick? I mean, we end up having to go back over things repeatedly.
The scripture says He knows we are dust...and this is how DUST IS! It is blown every which way by every wind. Only when the oil of the Spirit is poured out, when our tears water that dust, can it become clay and be molded into something usable. When it's placed in the kiln and fired up, it becomes even stronger.
BLESSINGS on your trust journey today.
