These past few weeks have been full of
trials and tribulations. Not for me, but for so many people around
me. And a lot of them are children. Just when I was starting to
wonder if I would ever catch up with all the "to do" stuff,
I would get word about someone having a bit of a problem overcoming
an obstacle in their daily life. This got to the point that I
wondered just what the purpose of it all was. Is YHVH telling me
something?
Looking back on the trials and
tribulations that I thought I had gone through, and the difficulty in
getting back into the rhythm of my life as I knew it, the message
came. Basically, get off your posterior and get out there and do
something! Even if it is wrong or not necessary, do something! As I
became more motivated to 'do something', the people around me began
reporting the Father intervening in their lives and things beginning
to be more tolerable. Was this my Father telling me that I have
nothing to complain or grumble about? Didn't I already learn that?
Wasn't that the reason I sat for almost a full year, waiting for the
healing to take hold? How soon I forget!
What took me so long to realize that I
have no problems? There were so many times when I would be thankful
just for an hour without pain... such a feeling of gratitude that I
did not suffer what some would call permanent damage. So why on
earth would I be distressed because I haven't cleaned the place up
yet? All I can see is the debris from fallen trees and the bugs and
the erosion. Once I got on my feet, I didn't see the puppy that
nursed me back to health. All he wants from me is to give him a few
minutes a day. I became too busy and was getting nothing done,
according to the way I saw it. I won't even begin to start on the
my neglect of the Proverbs 31 woman who brought verse eight and nine
to life! To my life! How neglectful I can be?
I became so caught up in what I "had"
to do, I completely missed opportunities to do what I needed to do.
Reaching out and helping others is more important than picking up
sticks in the back yard! Oh how soon I forget! Maybe that is why my
foot became inflamed periodically, like yesterday and today! My
Father is great in sending E-mail (Emotion mail).
There are many instances I can identify
in regards to overlooking relationship issues. But let me shy away
from getting too personal. Instead, let me just let the random
thoughts come forward; as in the days when this blog first started.
For those who have not gone back to the beginning, this little ditty
was started just to share thoughts that I have had along the way in
seeking to see my Creator's face. Then life happened and the
thoughts went crazy!
While I was 'laboring' in the heat and
dirt the other day, I spoke openly to no one in particular; I was the
only human present; the doggies were present; they keep me guessing -
I know they fully understand me more than I understand them.
Anyhow, I uttered aloud that I sure wish we could get some rain.
Guess what? YHVH hears our petitions! It started raining yesterday
and continued today and now I have just learned a tropical storm is
coming tomorrow! Yeah, I caught myself expressing how I won't be
able to get the sticks picked up and spray for the bugs and etc. I
just can't seem to get it right, can I? What a hoot!
Speaking of prayers answered; I told
the dogs, the ones that nurtured me while I couldn't walk, that I
sure would like a full night's sleep! Going to bed at one in the morning
and getting up at three to 'go outside' was getting old. Lo and
behold, we went to bed at ten, didn't tell them; and got up at five;
went 'out' for the moonlight stroll and back to bed before six; slept
till eight and felt agitated that I slept too late. So you tell me -
when will it all sink in? When will I laugh a little more as I did
this morning? Slept too late, complained, the rains came booming,
got a break and clear sky at two this afternoon, got the tractor out,
positioned it way out back, and came in for tea and the rains
returned! Yeah, I laughed! He gives me everything I ask for. And I
know for certain, He does it all "in His time" and with a
grin! You gotta love Him! The one entity in my life that I know I
can count on! Just as Shabbat is the only day of the week that makes
perfect sense! Oh, before I get too far away, for those who don't
quite understand this - His time is anytime He wants....LOL.... And my
time is up..... she who must be obeyed is waiting for this blog-post so she can
finish getting the newsletter out.
There, I did it...back to
blogging...luv u guys...Shalom for now and do take the time to enjoy
the humor He bestows on us. Life is just too precious to be in
crisis mode all the time! Again, love you all...
and Father, I love You! Thank You for
all the blessings and for Your fantastic patience.... I am
learning....although there are times when I feel as though I have
forgotten more than I ever knew...I pray that I never ever forget
You. In Y'shua's Great name.... Amein
With gratefulness,
Pinchas,
a/k/a
Frankly speaking all the time.
