The Story of My Life

Okay- so broken leg notwithstanding - I am getting by. Surgery is scheduled for tomorrow and we're "bopping" along as well as we can "bop." Yesterday, my "page a day" scripture was from Jeremiah 17:14, which says "heal me, O Lord and I shall be healed; save me and I shall be saved; for THOU art my praise." When this happened - after I got over the initial shock of "Now what?" I began to ask the Lord to be glorified in this circumstance and vowed that I would, as I attempt to do with everything in my life, trust Him implicitly to know what He's doing through this situation. One thing that has become abundantly clear is that the Hand of God has written the pages of my Life. I know and trust that God, indeed, is the story of my life whether it be in how He has blessed me with my children, blessed me to be Brendan's wife, blessed me to be working where I work, ministering where I minister and serving where I serve. God is written on every page and God WILL be written on this page too. I shared with my sweetie this morning that I believe I have never felt so loved and attended to by him as I have this past week or so. He has tended my every need - even letting me cry on his shoulder in pain and frustration. I know that the Lord will heal this broken leg and I trust the surgeon's skilled hands to do his part to get me knitting back together but through it all, Romans 8:28 reminds me that we KNOW that all things work together for good even those things that to our earthly, seeing eyes, don't seem to have much good about them. Am I thankful for this broken leg? I'm learning to be. Am I rejoicing that God is using even this to write the story of my life. The song by Shannon Wexelberg says it all:

You are the story of my Life

I need you in my Life

Both now and ever

You are the Lover of my soul

no matter where I go

I know it's true

the story of my life

is You.

Dear ones - it is my prayer that you will allow the Almighty to be the story of YOUR life and I promise, while it will have twists and turns and all the "exciting" things (like broken bones) that life brings, if you allow Him, He'll write a perfect, ETERNAL ending. Yours, In Him! AA
