MAN, God is good. Yesterday I stayed home from morning church. I haven't done that in forever...well, although I figured it would make me feel drained, it was awesome. I got to just be STILL. So often today, we forget to do that. It is a command. Be still and know that I AM God. Either we forget or we decide that it is not required. Times have changed, there's not time for silence. Practically no such thing anymore...I wish everyone could experience silence with God. Its like that story in the Old Testament...how God told Abraham (wasn't it?) to go up to the mountains and a storm came and a fire and an earthquake but God wasn't in any of that. God was in the whisper of silence after all that. He's in the SILENCE!!! so, i got to sit in the Silence yesterday. The presence of God. In baggy pants and a t-shirt. In all my sin. In all my worry. I got to feel God with no distractions. It was so awesome. I love my Jesus.
Also, in my time with God, I got to get in some much needed prayer for my surgery tomorrow. I'm supposed to get all 4 wisdom teeth out. BUT, the problem is that my insurance has been acting squirrelly and they said since I turned 19 I'm no longer covered. WRONG!! So without insurance, the surgery'd cost upwards of $1800...and I absolutely do not have even a percentage of that. So, unless the insurance people get their act together by tomorrow, I have to postpone the surgery even though there really isn't a better time to get it done, since I move back to Commerce in 8 days. So, that was where my worry was coming from! God gave me a beautiful hymn in my time of most worry too...Only Trust Him. MAN!!! I say again. GOD IS GOOD!! It's so crazy how he works.
On a side note, Colin came over last Friday and we did the coolest thing ever. The HIGHLIGHT of my summer. We built a fort in my living room out of tables, chairs, and sheets and we colored. I got this Hello Kitty coloring book to color in while I'm recovering from surgery and while I was getting it, Colin got a Batman coloring book. So, we colored. And then we took a nap. And we were 6 years old again! haha! It rocked. It was so nice just to kick back and relax. Anyway, there's my update, back to work!
Grace to You & Peace.
