Today has been a day that I did not exactly enjoy which is why it is so puzzling that I do not wish to go to bed and end it. Non the less I sit here at the wee hours of the mourning with an early class looming in my future and too much on my mind to let it rest.
Yesterday afternoon, my dad gave me the news that a dear friend of mine has cancer, and that it is severe. Every word I get from home is a bad one as far as he is concerned. Today the weight has just been so terribly heavy. I spoke with my Mother on the phone and she could not begin to hide how badly she was doing physically.
I imagine an appropriate description of my emotional state would be the sweater that has been snagged on something and a single thread is continuously being pulled, eventually but gradually the sweater completely unravels...I just pray no one is around when that happens.
A verse my Dad likes to quote cam to my mind through out this day of frustrations,
Ephesians 6:3
"Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand."
About Me
- healingrose
- There is a lot to say but very little that matters. First I am madly in love with Jesus Christ. I came to a personal relationship with Him at a very young age, grew up in church my Dad has been in the ministry for most of my life. Right now he is the pastor at Lighthouse Baptist church (Alva Doomy) not the old pastor. Before that my family was on the mission field in far Eastern Russia for 5 years. That is where my big missions call comes from I would say. I love the field the closeness with God, actually doing something to bring people who have never heard to the knowledge of Jesus Christ. There is nothing like it. It's the driving force behind everything I do. I'm in school hoping to get into the medical field so i can get into a country so I can give them the love of Jesus. My heart breaks to think of so many who don't know Him. I dream of their faces, often I'll wake crying hating the time I can't be there. I know God put missions in my heart I trust that in his time he will work it all out. As of now that is what I'm about, getting the means to that end. Pray for me!
