Saturday was a day of celebration for Karen's 40th birthday. She celebrated it by waking up with a backache. Welcome to 40.....all those over 40 know exactly what I mean. But it was still a great day! It didn't take Satan long to try to break up the mood. I'll leave it at that......
So where did the whole week net out? Well there are some things I can share, and some things best left for private discussion. But those that know me well know that I am not afraid to be transparent under the right circumstances. So maybe you will just have to ask in person.
But here is what I can tell you......I am feeling very humbled, fragile and weak. I see clearly how imperfect I am. I see clearly how my energy is no match for the power and energy of God's creation. I see clearly the goodness of people much less "out there" in the limelight than myself. All in all, I finish this ride with a feeling of I did nothing worthy of note, and all that was done was done so because of God's provision. It really was all His glory......not FOR His glory.......His glory.
Today I write in a state of bokenness for I see just how weak I truly am.......... Which is exactly what I needed to reset my heart to a place of service, simplicity and humility.......a place of clear understanding and appeciation of the Grace, Mercy and Love that God offers each of us..
Thanks for being a part of this adventure. It is my prayer that God uses these words and experiences to in some small way touch your life.
May God bless your life richly,
greg
