It's not about me..It's not about me.....It's NOT ABOUT ME!!!.(at least in theory).
I am an idea person but i have to keep telling myself that HE IS GOD AND I AM NOT!!!
I have my ideas of how things should go and i present them to God, and He consistently says NO to MY PLANS!!
What He has been showing me lately is to be ready AT ALL TIMES!! If we are available whether we feel like it or not, our lives are continually being "interrupted" by God!
He tells us to be ready "in season or out"
Last Sat. i was happily and quite mindlessly wondering around Steins. Out of the corner of my eye i saw someone pass me and i did a quick look again..just as she did.
She said "Laurie??" Is that you? i recognized her then from a WAY long time ago...21 years! I asked her how she was and she started crying. i gave her a hug and asked if she wanted to talk. She replied " i need HOPE" she had breast cancer 7 years ago, and was past the "danger" phase. She was given the choice of a tummy or back fat "tuck" for reconstruction and thot' that was her big decision.. but when she went in to the DR. he found that the cancer had come back, and was basically given a death sentence ..not by one, but 3 Dr.s. needless to say she was devastated. we talked, cried and prayed together for about 45 min. right in the middle of stein's. Everyone needs hope and God says in his word that He is the God of all hope. she had surgery on Wed. please pray that Lynn will have peace, hope and a Christmas miracle!! i almost missed an "interruption" by God in my life cuz i was so filled with My agenda!
i am so grateful i had the opportunity to be an ear and a heart for my friend...i certainly didn't expect that but i will try to not be so focused on me and be ready!!!God takes our availability and gives us His ability when we are ready.in season or out!!!
