Take Five Hundred Thousand Nine Hundred Sixty Two!

Have you ever noticed how life just gets crazy? Well in case you haven't ever experienced that phenomenon BE WARNED: LIFE GETS CRAZY!!!!! Jacque had her surgery on Dec. 22. She is doing well, she went to see the doctor and they said that she is right on track. God has been teaching me lessons over the last 5 weeks, not that He doesn't usually, but they are just more obvious ones right now. I have learned that I am much more capable than I thought when it comes to cooking and cleaning. I have also learned a few new lessons on being a supportive husband. I have always been supportive, but she just needs it more right now. I have been doing a devotional every night and every morning. Every night at some point during my devotional I look for a scripture dealing with something Jacque needs support in. Right now most of them center around strength, and how the only true source of our strength is God. I then take that scripture and write in on a post-it and stick it to the door, where she can see it when she leaves. We have such different schedules in the morning, I try to be at work by 6 or 6:30, when she is usually trying to get up, this is a way that I can still speak God's word into her life daily. It has become something I really look forward to doing. School is much better than it has been in the past 6 weeks or so, God is blessing me in ways that I would have never imagined. He has used the stress of Jacque's surgery to draw me closer to him. I have found my center in my faith again, and that has made everything else much easier. Not easy, because we were never promised easy, but easier. Look for God's blessings in your life. Maybe they will come from the student who finally understands the skill that they have struggled with for longer than you care to remember. Maybe its a coworker who takes time to remember you and just stop in to ask how things are. Maybe its that you made it through another day of something you thought you weren't capable of surviving. I will leave you with this, because I should be in the shower right now. First check out the songs at the top of the page, they are good ones. Second, if you get discouraged or start to feel your strength waining, do me a favor...check out this scripture: Psalm 3:5 (NIV) "I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me." The Lord will sustain you through anything, you just have to trust that he will, and get out of His way. Later.
