Well as I look at the last couple of months I can on thank God for getting me through it. It seems like the rush of life is not slowing down. Between working full time, having a family, the church and the 10 things I am forgetting I seem to be a dog chasing my tail. To complicate this whole thing I have some new medical issues that have kept me off work and kept me from driving. I could be all down in the dumps and have a pity party (which would be all to easy) or I can hold my head high and know that God will get my family and I through this.
You would think being at home for the last two weeks alone with direct orders to do nothing from the doctor that I would dive head first into Gods word and work on the four sermons God is allowing me to preach this month and next month. But no that's to easy. Instead I find my self giving into the worldly things like playing call of duty and watching ESPN or the history channel all day. Oh and playing on facebook. It would look like I would learn my lesson by now. I am so ready to be healthy again. I am ready to be.... well I am just ready to be Rickey again. Because this is getting old.
This adventure I am on is only getting greater and the more I give it to Jesus the more I will see that He is working and providing everything I need. So from here on out I am striving to get back into the center of Gods will for my family. I have been there and it WAS TOTALLY AMAZING and I am going to do everything in my power and use every ounce of strength I have left to serve the risen savior JESUS!
When I feel this way I begin to wonder if I really do love Jesus or if I'm just in love with the idea of Jesus... don't ponder too hard, just dive back into the word. Pick the gospels, be in awe of the miracles or just the fact that Jesus left heaven to come wear sandals and walk in the dirt with us.
