3 days of sickness and 2 sleepness nights...i finally understand. I have been so busy with and consumed by work that I forgot how to be still. Even when my body wouldn't go on, my mind was still racing. Trying to be the perfect worker, best mom and wife left no room for the Holy Spirit. I just can't believe that God loves me sooo much that He went through all this to make me stop for a heart-to-heart with Him. I missed Him so much, missed knowing that I can give all my burdens to Him, missed serving Him, missed praying for people. It always amazes me how patient and faithful He is, looking for that 1 lost sheep.

This past year has really been a walk of faith for me. Not knowing when or where, just receiving and resting. But I think it's time to care for and help heal people again. I want Graydon to see Christ in us...in our hands and hearts. Thank You God for teaching me that it's not about what people appreciate or remember, or even about what is fair to men. It is about living our lives in worship and as living sacrifices to our loving God who floods us with His grace.

My life is Yours. I will follow. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
