WHEN I DON'T HAVE THE WORDS, GOD DOES
As many of you know, my life took a drastic turn in the past couple of weeks. I managed to fall and break not only my right ankle, but also fractured my left one. So I am stuck in a wheelchair for at least 4 more weeks. To add to that, Steve started getting sick on me and after conferring with his doctor in Houston and our primary care doctor here, I made the decision to take him to the ER. He was admitted late Friday and has been here ever since.
He has pneumonia, which they say was a side effect of his therapy treatment. He has improved considerably since he was admitted but not yet ready to go home. There is a procedure scheduled for today and hopefully after that we will have some sort of game plan to get us home.
So with everything that has been going on I just haven’t had it in me to write, so I decided to share a little.
As you know I love to read, and I picked up a book by a favorite author of mine, however, it wasn’t his normal fictional novel. His name is Charles Martin and this particular book is called It Is Finished - A 40 day pilgrimage back to the Cross. “From 40 moments through the story going back to Calvary, we will go back to the Cross, looking at it from a different angle each day.” Mr. Martin is heavily involved in his church, is a bible study leader and often speaks at his church.
Having finished reading the Bible this year so much was still fresh in my memory, but to have it broken down and looked at from someone else’s perspective opened my eyes even more. Plus he asks questions and gives the reader something to think about.
Now, I’m not saying that you have to go out and buy this book, just that I found it a worthwhile read.
And Steve and I will get through this, the power of prayer is ever present in our lives.
Psalm 121-1-2
I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth
