I just feel a rant coming on: ... If you dont know it, Ill tell you, I am not a Faith Works (Negatively called: Name it, Claim it, and I dont do negative, just for clarification for a few of you.) kind of Christian. I will ignore follow on arguments as to merit, etc. Because that will prove to me you got all selfish and needed to defend your position or wanted to change mine and that in love you didnt keep reading. ... But, do not think that because I am not of that persuasion, I do not believe the Lord is ABLE. He works miracles in HIS way and in HIS time. HE miraculously makes money appear when it is needed, and he makes the dollars stretch. HE heals the sick and answers the prayers for the needs and the wants of HIS people. ... Why the set-up? Because while I am not a proponent of that system of beliefs, I just had a moment where I was corrected by my Lord. I have developed a habit that is robbing me. I am thinking negatively. I am speaking negatively out loud. I am seeing the world through negative eyes and it is effecting my heart and my mind. And it ends NOW. My God CAN! My God WILL! HE hears and HE does. ... I can rationalize that I am surrounded by negatively speaking believers, a larger portion of the core group at CCF are weekly competitors for the Eeyore of the week award. But, they cannot be my excuse. I may not say it aloud, but since Moms murder, I have been very blunt, but I am thinking a few well placed, Get Thee behind me Satans are in order. ... But I know that I have the greatest life, with the greatest promises because I place my faith and trust in Jesus Christ. Yes, things are tough right now and I have been battling on many fronts for many years. But, I have NEVER, and I mean NEVER, reached for energy, emotion, wisdom, anything that HE hasnt provided. Yes, my foot hurts, all the time, but it has never slowed me down nor robbed me of rest. The only thing that robs me of rest is ME. ... I just need to remember, faith is trusting in someone else greater than yourself. But, not just for what you are trusting for but also trusting in the wisdom of the provider as it relates to time and means. So, it is not in my time, but HIS. It is not in my strength, but HIS. Shalom and Toda....
