Life roars on in so often, I barely have time to think. But occasionally, between hoovering the hamster and attempting to bake, think is what I do.
I was just thinking what the deep longings of my heart are. If I was asked by God "Jane, what are the longings of your heart?" What would I say? Sure I have the mum -standard ones that our kids grow strong and true, that I be an honourable and beautiful wife.
I also have one other deep longing that is a real big deal to me...
Our middle boy, turbo charged Sam, has severe allergies. He's spent half his life wrapped head to toe in bandages because of eczema and now he's allergic to so many foods that he can't have 80% of stuff people usually have. His skin is cracked so bad sometimes. So, as a family we have such a limited diet it's untrue.
ANYWAY....the longing of my heart is that God would totally heal Sam. No holds barred, the full deal. I believe he can. Last summer God laid it on my heart to go and put Sam's creams on him and pray over him every night when he was asleep. So I did..... And I waited ....and I waited. I was waiting for God to do...something!
Then I finally clicked on. It's not about waiting FOR God. I'm to sit with Sam and wait ON God. Just give the Lord my heart, my life my little Sam. Rest in him.
My little guy has just come down from bed now, itchy. So I'm going to go cream him up and wait on the Lord now.
Be encouraged friends, and wait on Him. He knows the deepest longing of your heart.
Goodnight!
