After reading her post today, I was at a loss. How can I write anything about my seemingly unimportant life when the King of Kings was BROKEN today. The video about the Story of God hit me hard. I have made no time for God these past 6 months. I pray, yes. But reading the Bible, nope. Trying to grow my walk, nope. Just trying to survive, to make sense of this new chapter in my life where I am the mom of a kid with autism. Gotta love the twisted plot. This week I felt so BROKEN by life; how hard marriage really is, unruly kids who get so out of control, lack of sleep, no "me" time, family problems, etc. Lots of drama. But today, just now, I remembered Who is in control. And I need Him more than I need a perfect marriage, perfect kids, exercise, water, food, sleep--He is my air, the blood through my veins, the reason I'm alive, the reason I don't have to face Death. Thank you Jesus, for being broken on that cross. Please forgive me for my selfishness. I pray that this weekend I can continue to reflect on Him and what a huge gift He is in my life. I pray I can glorify Him through my trials and triumphs, and not get so bogged down by the daily grind. He is more that all of that. He is "it." Thank you, Lord, for giving me a glimpse through your eyes tonight.
What a beautiful post Sarah. I pray that this weekend brings you the renewal you seek and His peace carries you through the days when you feel broken.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great post - entirely honest and humble. There are times when it's tough to get by, let alone thrive and grow. I love this reminder of who is in control
