It's been awhile since I made my last entry. A lot has been going on. 2008 ended on a rather down beat for me, but at the same time it was a blessing. I guess it's all about how you internalize a situation.
I suffered a ruptured appendix just before Thankgiving Holiday. No need to tell anyone that I didn't enjoy the turkey with all the trimmings and such. I barely made it out of the hospital before Christmas! I am so thankful to know what Christmas is truly about. When it seems like all your life has been about overcoming obstacles, it's refreshing to know there's a rainbow end if you search for the one thing that cannot be taken away from you.
The Bible tells me that "He will keep my mind in perfect peace if I keep my mind stayed on Him." When I saw the picture and read the verse, I knew it was past the time for me to record my thoughts in a positive light. I am so blessed to be alive and well as I am. Although I am experiencing much pain in my body, I know it's only temporary.
God has promised all of His children a day of lasting rest, a changed body from the corruptible to uncorruptible; from mortal to immortality. No more pain, death, tears or sorrow. I must continue to see my survival as the tree. The tree grows taller and the branches wider. But these are not the secret of its survival. Its survival is found in the deep roots it has grown and wrapped its self around; vying not to be removed.
Yes, I too must learn how to reach beyond the break and hold on. Then all will see how blessed I am.
