Trusting His Way
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways…For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.
Isaiah 55:8-9
I had a moment yesterday. For the most part I have been doing well in terms of my spirits and staying positive, but somewhere between my jogging on the underwater treadmill at a speed of 4.0 and doing my rehab exercises simple enough for a senior citizen, I cracked a little. It is almost the end of May and THIS is what I’m doing?! Tears quickly welled up in my eyes and I took an unneeded bathroom break. I know I’m not supposed to think like that but I’d be lying to you if I said it was that easy. I’m human. It’s six weeks before Trials and I can’t jog on ground and I have not done so in almost a month. I’ve been surprised even at my own courage and strength because normally I am quite the head case and for the most part I haven’t been. But I do have my moments. Moments like yesterday.
And so last night when I read that verse above before bed, I just had to whisper thank you. Thank you for reminding me that I am so not in charge of things right now. Sometimes circumstances are hard to understand. For example, my circumstance right now can be extremely frustrating to me at times because not only do I feel as if the timing is the absolute worst, I also slip up sometimes and find myself worrying about everything you could possibly think I might worry about. I sit around and I feel like I’m just staring at this huge hourglass sand timer and I just want to turn it on it’s side for a bit. But focusing on your lack of understanding can really wear you out. So when I begin to let my mind go there, it’s helpful for me to be reminded to snap out of it. I just need to trust and remind myself that His ways are not my ways. I know I’ve mentioned something similar to this before, but sometimes I find myself in need of another cue. I most certainly don’t think it was by chance that I read that verse today.

here's a thought a friend of mine told me that made a lot of since to me and hopefully will help you. As humans the smallest measurement of time we have is seconds. Well God works on firsts. Meaning that everything we do is on God's time. Just like you said--we are not in control. Continue to let him take control and it will all work out.

Think of it this way...the hardest way. This isn’t about you and this isn’t your story.You gave your life to Christ and have died to self. It’s His story and you are playing a part... a divine one at that. At this point simply shift your focus to furthering the kingdom. Everything will work out if that is your goal.
Everything we do for God He does through us.
Grace and Peace

You are one of the courageious people. Just keep yur perspective. Soreness is always the sign of some kind of recovery work, and is the precursor of a new strength. Eat your damned vegetables.
