Wagons and Ruts



Well, after 3 days with a death-grip on the rear gate of the wagon, I've finally managed to work my way back on. This wagon hit a big rut about Wednesday, lunch, which completely caught me off-guard and I went flying into the air, fortunately I was able to grab hold of the gate and hang on for dear life!


My glucose levels have remained well within the recommended range, but my food journal has gathered dust and cobwebs...the spider, though, has been exterminated and the dust is now blowing in the wind, southward. My pen is at the ready and my hand is feeling better...today is a new day.


We got word, yesterday, that Kevin will be returning to work after being off for 2 years and 2 months due to the back injury he sustained while working in Virginia. He will have restrictions as far as lifting, etc., which is why it has taken so long for them to find a position for him. He starts back to work on Monday.


Yesterday, I started the process for finding a Nanny for our 5-year-old. I have a peace about the whole thing and know that God will provide the perfect person to care for her this summer. Just another rut this wagon has hiccuped over this week.


So, my friends, I say all of this to show you how good and faithful God is to His promise. This morning, He gave me a beautiful sunrise to start my day. He gave that sunrise to you as well. He has given us a new day to explore, breathe in and enjoy. Take time, today, to accept and live His gift...as you venture out on your journey today, whereever you may be going, take a deep breath before pulling out of that drive-way. Open your mind and let all of your worries become His. Take special note of God's creation around you. As you sit at that stop-light, look around at the trees, flowers, grass, sky and clouds and give thanks to God for His abundant gifts to you. Even if your sky is filled with gray clouds, even if you're in the middle of a whirl-wind, He is there and He is waiting to take it all on His shoulders for you...GIVE IT ALL TO HIM and He will sustain you.
