A Day in the Life

I've been praying for something new to write. I love updating my blog but I honestly only write when God has given me something to say. I know several people who are gravely ill with sicknesses and cancer and it is weighing heavily on my heart. I can feel the toll it is taking on their family members. It is times exactly like these when we can question God and His infinite wisdom. When people get sick or have life altering disabilities you can question why.These circumstances make us introspective, we start to try to make sense of life. When I contemplate my own death I feel anxiety because I won't know the ending of the story, what happens with my family and friends, I won't be here to help. I forget the next step in my journey-Eternity. I feel that Life-- Creation to the end of Revelation and everyone in between are a part of a huge book. A legacy that God had Authored. He has designed the layout, the contents, the plot, the ending. We neglect to see, also, that God is also the intended Audience. We were created for Him, to love, and worship and serve the Creator. He is to benefit and know the plot lines of our lives. We are mere characters, part of the action, we stories to tell, lives to lead, people to help, an entrance point, and an exit. Everyone is a weaving in a large tapestry, woven together piece by piece.

When we put ourselves- our lives into perspective, then we see our place and importance. It is ok that we don't know exactly what happens next to the people we leave behind. God is there, not only writing the story, but also intently interested and anxiously awaiting the next page.

It is only then, when we put this behind us, that we can focus intently on our personal journey-- the one we take alone with God. We can have the peace He wants us to have. When we have that peace we can comfort those we are leaving behind. Just please focus on the days we have left and the quality time with the people we love. The book will be at the last page in good time-- God's time.
