It is a weird Monday~
as we are traveling home
from a quick get away weekend.
We were supposed to come home yesterday~
but stayed an extra day
as my husband got the flu
from the moment we touched ground here.
Happy Birthday to him!
He is so much better than when are arrived
& I hope today he is at 100%
for when we fly home.
I guess our prayers were answered
for this trip as we prayed for
REST~
& oh he got it.
I prayed for uninterrupted time to prepare for an upcoming conference~
& oh I got it.
So was the flu an answer to prayer in disguise?
No, as GOD doesn't work that way.
Yes HE allowed it, but I believe the answer to prayer
was in our response to it.
GOD has a plan and HE worked it
in our hearts
as we are both
more
PEACEFUL
from the time we left home.
We both are more
RESTED
from the time we left home.
Hopefully we both are more
FLU~LESS
from the time we leave here.
BUT GOD
gave us so much more in the midst of this~
that we may never know exactly what
but we know that
HE did
because
HE uses all things for good~
all things whether so little or whether so big~
as this was just a commercial break
filled with so much more
as we got to be together
for these past few days.
So when we hop on the plane today
& someone starts coughing &sneezing
or doing other flu like symptoms~
what will we do~
absolutely nothing
because there is nothing that we can do
but look up
& smile
& pray
that the flu doesn't sneak home with us in our suitcases.
May GOD bless you in the little unplanned things & in the big unplanned things.
May HIS PRESENCE take over ever part of your being so that you know
HE is always present.
May this Monday be the best Monday ever
because you experience
GOD
in a much deeper way that you have never before
because
HE
is so much more
&
has so much more
for you & I
beyond what our eyes can see.
