Sometimes it’s good to take a step back and evaluate my life, to make sure I’m standing on solid ground and continue to build on the firm foundation Christ has laid down for me. That foundation was built on the faith He has established within me over the past 61 years of life.
I’ve gone through some breaking, some pruning and refining, and I’m still standing by His grace. I had made great progress in my physical health; going to the gym, working out and, exercising, losing a lot of weight, managing my diabetes, etc. Even in the midst of loosing my left lower leg and foot through infections and below knee amputation, I’ve been able to quickly bounce back and recover. My life now includes a healing journey which has been incorporated into the daily mix of my life’s journey.
My walk with the living God is my daily hope and surrender. I’m still learning that it’s okay to stop, take a step back, reevaluate, reassess and wait upon the Lord to renew my strength. Then I will be able to run again and not grow weary, walk and not faint.
We can only go so far and so long before we need to slow down, rest in Him (who is our Sabbath) and trust Him in the ongoing process of preparing us for what’s next.
I know that the plans He has for me are for my good, to give me a hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11)
Not only has my physical health taken a priority, but my overall health; physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health; all of me, heart, mind, soul and strength. I must daily surrender all of me to the One who holds me in the palm of His hand, as the apple of His eye.
