School this morning was great. The kids worked hard on their school work which was exceptionally nice. I am holding up physically today but I feel weak. Maybe it is due to the fact that I am starting to exercise today and my muscles want me to know what they think of this idea. (LOL) Or it could be from the stress of learning that my mom may have cancer.
We found out just last November that my dad has cancer. He has decided to do nothing about it. States his if going to play the waiting game and see if it grows. Now we face the possibility that mom may have cancer as well. I am not sure what is ahead for my family, but God abides with me always.
Just this morning, after a night of tossing and turning, my youngest child asked to watch tv. Like all moms do, I turned the tv on so that I could have a few minutes to drink my cup of coffee. Then I heard the voice of Beth Moore on the tv. "The spirit of fear is from the enemy. It diverts your attention away from the Lord." Boy! God knew I needed to hear that today. SO, I apologized to my son and told him how God was speaking to mommy's heart right now and that she needed some alone time with Jesus.
I stood amazed that My God, Jesus Christ, loves me so much that HE takes the time to talk to me. Even when I did not go to him in prayer about my concerns. He knew my heart was hurting and my fear was laying heavy on me, so HE came down to meet me. Where I was. To lift me up and keep me strong.
What an awesome GOD! He just never stops amazing me!
