sick in two ways

God in His great mercy and sweetness shows me things I choose daily not to look at in His good timing. Sometimes He does this through a nice worship song. Today, He is speaking to me in between my hacks and sneezes and chest pain. Being sick is a reminder of how absolutely powerless I am over my own life. I realize with each cold how much I grasp at control. It is a beautiful reminder, that as my body purges me of a virus that could harm me, God is in my heart, cleaning out gunk like lies and my ego. My head has been full of Colossians 3 and seeking the things that are above. I want to live like I'm free.  My new prayer is that the Spirit would continue to renew my mind so that my entire soul would chase after the things of God...I need your medicine, God!

  1. I love your posts, cousin-friend! I totally understand the 2nd puberty thing and it is awwwkkkkwwwarrd. But it gets better. Be prepared to find layers of yourself that shock and disturb you and hopefully make you laugh. Be prepared to have no freaking clue what you are doing and wonder why everyone else looks like they do. And prepare for a really beautiful season of having to cling to your Father's arm in sheer desperation and finding in him a constant friend. I love you girly.
