We are in
the
middle of wait
of
waiting
for a phone call
that will tell us
when my precious husband
has to show up
to have eye surgery
today or tomorrow.
Yes,
it is one of those
commercial breaks
in life
that God allows in your life.
You know....
you are just living your life
you have plans
and then everything changes
in a moment.
You didn't ask for it,
but it happens,
and then what~
You have to stop
right where you are
and you can either
stomp your feet and complain
or put one foot in front of the other
and do what you have to do
Willingly & Thankfully
but only because
you look up
and
ask
God
"Why"
and
He says
"Why not".
Tears fill my eyes
as I don't want my husband
to have to go through this,
but he has to.
Having the surgery is one thing,
but the recovery time
when he has to be so still,
because he will have no choice,
is the
commercial break
that
God is allowing.
Forced still time~
no work, no play, no reading, no tv, no anything
just
You, Yourself, and God.
And you know what
that is a beautiful thing
because
if in the stillness
God
is all you have
you know you are in the best hands
as
anxiety would be gone
fear would be gone
because
peace
would be your companion.
Do we know why
God
is allowing this
commercial break?
No,
but
He is
and
as we lean on
Him
through this
Not only will this surgery
make my hubby's eye better
but
his heart will be better
because
in the forced stillness
God is God
and is about to something
Amazingly Dynamic
through this time~
even though it isn't something of
my hubby's choosing~
because
the
One
Who is really is writing our stories
never leaves us the same
as we were
before
the
commercial break.
Real Life. Real Stories. Real God.
"He knows us far better than we know ourselves,
knows our pregnant condition,
and keeps us present before God.
That’s why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives
of love for God is worked into something good. "
Romans 8:28
