| Help!!!! My Cross is Choking me!!! --- Literally |
|
| |
Ok so this has been one of those days.
You know the kind that only can be explained by God - disaster, despair, breakthrough (with a little help from my friends), then yes! Happiness and True Joy!
So to celebrate, I thought I would do a little spring cleaning in my soul and in my house. Crank up the praise music and let it all be about You, Lord! Whoo Hoo.
Now as most of my friends know, we have 5 teenagers, four of which live with us. I would love to say that they pick up after themselves and do their own laundry etc, and are just perfect little angels..... But lets get real they are "teenagers", and I prefer not to yell, cry and complain because I have to save that up for the good stuff (if you know what I mean). So as far as my house goes I had a lot to do this afternoon and evening.
As I was sorting through my 10 loads of laundry (yes they change alot, and that was only 4 days) somehow the CRAZIEST thing happened. I had a load in my left arm, and was reaching down with my right and failed to notice there was a hanger in the load in my left arm. Then a stupid white plastic hanger got completely wrapped and entangled with my cross my husband bought me on our honeymoon. Now it just didn't get tangled with the hook part of the hanger, no that would be too easy it got tangled with the hangy thingies on the sleeves of the hanger. Next thing I know clothes too were tangled in the hanger and for a minute I was slightly choking by my Cross.
Needless to say, I struggled and could not get that hanger untangled from my cross. I even tried to find the clasp to my necklace and break free, but to no avail I failed. So shamefully I had to go find my youngest and ask him to help me break free of this dilemma. All the older kids were working, it would have been so easy to ask one of the girls, he thought of course that I was dumb and couldn't believe that I got myself into that dilemma. Regardless, he did help me get free from my "choke-hold".
As I reflected and laughed about the situation, I thought this is just God giving me some humor and truth to all my afflictions at this time. He taught me two very valuable lessons, both I should know by now.
Lesson One: God taught me a lesson I should have learned from my bad driving:
12:2 Having our eyes fixed on Jesus, the guide and end of our faith, who went through the pains of the cross, not caring for the shame, because of the joy which was before him, and who has now taken his place at the right hand of God's seat of power.
Lesson Two: God taught me that I am not alone, and when I need a little help from my friends I should ask, talk, and receive.
2:1If there is therefore any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassions,
Thanks friends for being so patient with me. The encouragement and healing and freedomyou have shown me here on Mychurch can only be described as love, pure divine love straight from God in heaven.
I know soon I will be waltzing with Jesus. So I am polishing up my dancing shoes. Thanks Jesus for setting me free, I love you Lord. |

Coreena thanks you have been a big help too! I never knew or thought there would be a bible study out there to help free me from the chains of abortion, but thanks to your friendship, encouragement, and maps to the study in NC, to go and complete the healing... I would have probably been there quite a while longer. THANKS!
Dana Love you too. You are a blessing. |

Lara - LOL!!! now that would be a sight..
On another note... I have to thank you to for the insights to recovery from being the 2nd victim of an abortion. I thought when you told me about your friends bible study, I would have to drive to Canada and visit. Thank God Clayton is only a 30 minute drive.
Thanks for the encouragement and patience through all of this pain. Soon I too will be dancing with my white robe.
Bless you ... You are Loved! |

| Yes, you will be! AMEN! Dancing in freedom, for it is for freedom that Christ has set us free! |

Becky, I found it easy to picture you all tangled up, arms loaded down w/laundry, walking funny as you sought your children's help. (After all, they are there for that too.)

Yikes Racunpoodle! You can relate to the teenager thing too... stay tuned. I have a teenager blog coming out soon.
Mike - It is rather funny now.... but then, until I could see the lesson from Jesus and the cross he carried... my cross not so heavy...rather ANNOYING and then it was not too funny as it was choking me with the weight of those jeans...even for just a moment in time.
Yes so true, How my children help me heal and find the Lord more in all their rebellious ways. They are truly Gifts, broken and all. |
