The First 100 days – day 18b – my turn

Here’s a song that prepares my heart……

Today, I’m exhausted.  But I am better for it.

Today, I’m stiff. But I am better for it.

Sometimes stretching yourself, to do the things that you don’t think you can, are a little painful at first.

  • a new workout
  • a new diet
  • a new job
  • walking on the beach after years of ankle problems!

James 1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;

In the last few years…like, oh, 40 years…the falls I’ve been taking have been physical! There have been so many times that I’ve fallen and gotten hurt, and turned around and said that God had shown me something I needed to change.  At one point, it was a joke in our family that I should just stay down, get the lesson, and maybe we could save the medical bills!

Just because a fall can teach you a lesson, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you have sinned.  BUT, OUR Father is so busy helping us to grow into the fullness of Christ, that HE allows us to fall, so that we can turn to HIM to pick us back up.

This weekend, that is what happened.  I got to enjoy God picking me back up, after all the surgeries of 2010.  And I am exceedingly grateful!

Thanks for joining me in this journey,

In His hands and under His wings,

~Christi

Ps 63:7 Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.
