Praise - Day 24

Praise God for His Healing Power

Whether we suffer from a physical, emotional, or spiritual wound- our God can heal. He can heal us from the past, from broken relationships,- from addictions, from sorrow. Sometimes we don’t ask because of fear that He may not answer our prayer like we want Him too. 

However, that also means we can miss out on the healing power that He can bring. What could I be missing out on because I’m afraid to even ask?

His healing power isn’t based on what I want- otherwise my faith is based on what He does for me- not who He is to me. Will I still choose to praise Him even if He doesn’t answer my prayer?

But then... what if He does?

He is the potter - I am the clay.
He is the creator.
I am the created.

Romans 9
 20 But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? “Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’”21 Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use

This scripture speaks about how God does not need to answer to us.  He is the creator. He knows best even if we don’t understand it. Who are we to second guess how He made us or why He’s allowed us to be scarred or broken. He doesn’t like to see us in pain. 

We do know He’s a loving God- who is with us in all circumstances. The creator loves what He’s created. 

 In many ways this brings me peace. It’s a relief to know that He had a divine plan- even if I don’t always understand it.

The Art of Making Mistakes

Image
  I don't know if you have ever struggled with your "bits n pieces" of art being good enough for general public viewing.  I love to draw doodley art/tangles/words... mindlessly on bits of paper especially while watching TV or listening to music.  I would never classify it as "fine" art.  I do it to relax - and because I'm  trying to slow down, I'll often make errors in the process from impatience or distraction. They are far from perfect. Not poetically beautiful. Not necessarily powerful or inspirational.  And are littered with mistakes. A few weeks ago, I saw my talented son draw a beautiful picture and half way through, throw it in the bin.  I asked him why he would throw away such a beautiful piece of work and he grunted "too many mistakes" and then "Its not how I imagined it to look." Oh boy - did I relate!   We want to hide our mistakes or start over... forget that we were so stupid to make such a big blunder in the first place....

The Big 3- Oh!

Image
I can hardly believe the big day has come and gone - the big 3-oh! Fortunately I have been informed by many that 30 is the new 20 so, I'm doing good then!...There have been no major old age mishaps - like losing my vision, having a bad hip, arthritis, or a desire to watch Matlock - I am in good condition!!! While at home my parents/family made a great dinner and gave me a few great presents like a new calendar, the movie Big Fish, Foot lotions, etc. and some cash. It was great to spend an evening with them celebrating. Also Leigh's parents, brother, and sister sent me some money to buy a guitar so now I am looking into that a bit more to see what would suit me best. I am so blessed. With a little bit of the money that I got, I went to Canadian Tire and bought a mini drawer thing used for screws, and nails, etc. and made it into a jewelry box for all my necklaces, and earrings, etc. It's fabulous! My actual birthDAY was amazing too... It all started with some yummy eggs...
