I have been sitting on this couch staring out the window for almost a month, I haven’t gotten any sleep because of this wonderful, stylish boot that I have to constantly wear, yes, even to bed, and all I can think about is “Be still and know that I am God.”
I’ve been through setbacks in the past, brain surgery, hysterectomy, quadruple bypass, severely sprained ankle with fractured fibula, now this broken ankle, and for some reason this seems to be affecting me differently.
I suppose it could be the season that I am in at this time. My age 🤷♀️ my desire to be DOING instead of BEING? To much time reminiscing about the past 📽the weather ⛈. Whatever it may be, I am fighting 🥊 a battle to stay focused on the positive instead of the negative. This makes me think of the song 🎶 “Surrounded”. If you haven’t heard it, I recommend it.
Today I am suppose to have a tabletop at a Health Fair. Instead I sit here unable to put pressure on my foot wanting to play the blame game. You know how it goes, “if only I had not…. I wouldn’t be in this mess.” “I am so stupid, how did I lose my balance?” Then as I look out the window and see clouds ☁️ turn into sunshine ☀️ , I realize that this is just like my life right now. It may seem dreary but things will get better.
It’s in my brokenness that I will find strength. I truly believe that. Hmmm, makes me think of this season of Easter coming upon us. So, I wait. The disciples waited for three days until the resurrection and I’ve learned that it really is all in His timing.
By the way, talk about timing, this was my devotional this morning.
Psalm 40:1-2
I waited patiently for the Lord;
he turned to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.
Until next time! Have a beautiful, blessed day. 😀
