Proven a Weenie!

Tuesday, April 21, 2009

Dear Fellow Travelers,
Over the past four weeks, my belief that I am a “weenie” has been strengthened, times several, and most of that “strengthening” has come from my weakness—I do not suffer well. For some reason, I much prefer being well, over being sick, and I doubt that this will change, at least not in my lifetime on this earth, and probably not even in Heaven. Truth is I don’t even mind if you call me “weenie,” as truth is truth and that is that.
Thankfully, today my doctor prescribed cortisone, and for that I am very thankful, as I believe it will cure this monster of an illness. Hopefully, it will “kick-in” and “kick-butt” quickly and set my feet to dancing, as I am tired of “weenie-ing” around, trying to do life on one cylinder, and it with a bad spark plug. Hopefully, tomorrow will bring a new day, and I’m betting it will!
Having said all of that, I do want you to know that I am aware that God never said that life would be a smooth journey—not potholes, no gnats, no frogs, no snakes, no speed bumps, no alligators, no bats, no pains in the neck, no spoiled picnics, no mad mama bears, no bad preachers, no sweat, no broken finger nails, no flat tires, no disobedient children, no disappointments, no runny noses, no IBS, and no mad hatters.
He did, however, tell us (actually, He promised us) that He would never leave us or forsake us—PERIOD; that He would complete the good work that He started in us; that He would meet ALL of our NEEDS according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus; that light and darkness are alike to Him; that His strength is made perfect in our weakness; and that His grace is sufficient for us!
I can only speak for myself, so I will: thus far, His promises have proven true; His Word has proven faithful; and He has proven trustworthy.
Amen! You think about this—

Grace lavished,
Mac
