God is good all the time…..
For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit,” – Romans 14:17
Thanksgiving was wonderful….
We started with the Borodash….
Four miles….
At eight in the morning….
With 2,500 of our closest friends….
Sunshine….
A crisp 40 degrees….
Surrounded with good friends….
Good fellowship….
A sense of accomplishment to start the day….
I ran with Joseph….
He filled my heart with joy…..
He is such an encourager….
He is like his mama….
He told every person he passed….
Good job…..
Every person that passed him….
Good job….
I would venture to say….
He touched a few hearts….
We traveled three hours to my sisters….
Great to be with family….
It was not the same without My Healed Wife….
It never will be….
Life will still be joyful….
It will just be different….
As it was this year….
It was a great time….
It was just different….
The going around the table….
Sharing what we were thankful for…
Was a bit emotional….
It was tough….
To not cry….
Uncontrollably….
Not because of a lack of thanks….
But for the overwhelming thanks that I have….
Mixed with the pain of the flesh….
Thankful for the hope….
The hope we have in Jesus….
Thankful I know where My Healed Wife is….
Who she is with….
She is with some pretty amazing company….
In the flesh….
It hurt to not hold her hand….
To not have her physically beside me….
To not hear her voice….
To not hear her deep love for the Lord….
Revealed in her beautiful words of thankfulness….
I miss my best friend….
I miss someone to share my thoughts with….
Hearing her thoughts…
Getting her wisdom….
Sharing my wisdom….
We were a perfect balance….
A three braided chord….
He put it on my heart this morning….
He will fill that gap…
Through the Holy Spirit….
He will be my best friend….
He will give me conversation….
Feedback….
Wisdom….
I just need to allow Him….
Draw near to God….
And He will draw near to me….
That is what the Bible says….
He never promised us a life without trials….
In fact….
He promised just the opposite….
He promised we would meet opposition….
Persecution….
If we walk with Him….
The enemy will not like it….
He will throw stuff in our way….
To slow us down….
To try to stop us….
One of the more quoted scripture’s….
Psalm 23….
Eventhough I walk through the valley of the shadow of death….
This scripture acknowledges….
We will have valleys….
It also points out….
We were never meant to stay in them….
We will come across valleys….
But we do not stay in them….
We walk….
We keep moving….
We pass through the valleys….
We walk through the valley of the shadow of death….
We lie down in the green pastures…
But we walk through the valleys….
Don’t stop moving….
Surely goodness and love….
Will follow me….
All the days of my life….
If the enemy is not opposing my direction….
It might mean I am walking in his direction….
It might mean I am walking with the enemy….
If we are walking with the Lord….
The enemy is going to try to stop us….
I almost rejoice in the troubles….
It just brings confirmation….
That I am walking in a direction….
The enemy does not like….
He sees where I am going….
He will bring trouble….
That is what he does….
The Lord knows it….
He tells us to keep walking….
He will have us in His righteous right hand….
He will have us by our right hand….
How does that happen….
His right hand….
Holding our right hand….
He walks ahead of us….
We walk behind….
We just hold on….
Keep moving….
Resting in His power…
Resting in His peace…
Resting in His joy….
Resting in His love….
Resting in His faithfulness….
Resting in His goodness…
Resting in Him….
Trusting….
Following….
Letting Him clear the way….
This is a season of firsts….
A season I would not wish on anybody….
But we all have tragedy….
Some form of trauma in our lives….
We all have a season of firsts….
No matter what the tragedy….
We all need peace through those trials….
We all need the comfort….
That only the Lord can give….
In my past….
I looked for that comfort….
That peace….
In many places….
I never found it….
It was not at the bottom of the bottle….
It was not anywhere I was looking….
I only found it….
When I found the Lord….
He is the only reason….
The only reason….
I have peace…
The only reason there is beauty…
In this season….
Without Him….
It is a horrible experience….
And I am a wreck….
With Him….
It is a beautiful horrible experience….
I am a peaceful wreck…
…… all the time God is good
