This has been a better week although it has been an exhausting week. For example: Jesus cut my hair this week, I got an encouraging note in the mail that included another “gift of love” from someone that I haven’t seen in a long while. This person said that the Lord had really laid us on her heart and that she didn’t know what was going on but that God wanted to encourage us. I got to celebrate someones birthday at the fondue restaurant and someone picked up the tab for all of us. And God is continuing to meet our financial needs in many different ways. Some of those ways are hard to accept when you have been the one who likes to give, but pride takes a back seat to humility in times like these.
It just goes to show you and me that He has things well in hand. Who am I to even try to understand the mess that the flesh sees. I have to see with His eyes even when it is hard to focus. I know all of these things but it’s easy to forget sometimes. But He doesn’t love me less when I can’t remember what I should, He just continues to show me that He has my back, and sometimes in very unexpected ways.
So for those of you who might have been shocked at my rant, well, I’m sorry that you were shocked, but I am not sorry that I felt a better in the writing. I am usually one that swallows my hurt, anger, sadness, whatever and doesn’t share any of it with anyone outside of my “family”. As you can see, I have recovered quite nicely and am back to the Amy that you know and love.
