(I have a video of a song I adorn but to view it you have to click on the article, down on the left, or on the comments link below) So I absolutely adorn this song. It lifts me up when I’m not exactly in a good mood, which is alot of the time :).
I quit focusing on the handicap and began appreciating the gift. It was
a case of Christ’s strength moving in on my weakness. Now I take
limitations in stride, and with good cheer, these limitations that cut
me down to size—abuse, accidents, opposition, bad breaks. I just let
Christ take over! And so the weaker I get, the stronger I become. 2 Cor. 9-10
I get headaches, stomach aches, pains, and colds . . . they are kinda a ordinary occurrence. I have decided that I will not let these get in my way. I will not let a few aches & pains dominate my life, and use them as excuses not to minister. I kinda have a new philosphy for my life, or theme, I don’t know actually how to describe it. But it is “Silent Pain.” If I’m not feeling good, no one will know about it (well if I’m not really feeling good I’ll let someone know, I’m talking about the minor stuff.) I will learn to be strong through my weakness.
I will not get glory out of my sickness. I will not complain or tell or my problems to get sympathy, God is enough (or should be enough, I admit that sometimes I want the glory. I want people to be amazed at how tough I am, how much I can do, how good I am at something.) But I’m learning, or trying to die to those desires.)
Have a great Thanksgiving, I will probably write again before then, but I don’t know. I will be back in Nebraska for turkey day. Yeah!!
