Recently, I have tried to not get wrapped up in "wanting to get more done". I noted that when in that mode, I keep so busy that though my heart cries out to spend quiet time in conversation with The Lord, I am striving to get things done, thinking that once they are done, I'll be able to rest. On the contrary, I know that there will always be things to do, and once the things I'm doing now are done, other things will need to be acomplished. And now, we must remember to take time to rest, regardless of a situation, as the Lord has commanded (Exodus 35:2).

In similarity, today I wanted to look at some cell phone plans, thinking that having a cell phone plan with more minutes, as opposed to my current pre-paid phone, would make things easier. I felt The Lord telling me that this is not for me, and I did not listen. I realised after a few minutes of disobeying Him, that truly, it would only make me more busy. Oh, how wonderful it is to be still, and in Peace!

What Joy it is to know that God knows best! Praise be to You, my God!

To work on time

I had the intention of leaving to work on time this morning, but I left late because the freezing rain last night froze my door shut, and windows required heavy scraping. I was able to get in the car after some prying, and scraped a "hole" big enough to see ahead of me through the windshield (not best practice). After asking the Lord for help in getting to work on time, I arrived safely, and with a minute to spare :) Praise God!

I no longer make the best fried fish

Last night for dinner I made some fried fish. Aliza said it is the best fried fish. This morning, it is the first thing she said also, "Daddy, you make the best fried fish". I hugged her, and we went downstairs. It's Monday, so I'm getting some things ready before I head out the door, and she asked for some chocolate covered pretzels...I gave her a couple and she cries out for more. When I denied her request for more, she cries and yells "You don't make the best fried fish!"

Update

Much happened since the last 3 months, and I should have kept up with posting updates, but I was lazy. I'm sorry. I'm going to mention one marvelous testimony for now. On October 13, I went to see a doctor for the results of a test a week prior. Since a few months before then, I felt shortness of breath and chest discomfort, and that's why I went to the doc in the first place. So, on the 13th, doc said I had class 1 heart failure, outputting 35% of blood. I was put on meds, and began praying for healing. I prayed with my wife, I prayed with the prayer team at church, and believed I would be healed, though often the devil lied to me with doubt that it would not happen. This past Friday, Nov 6th, however, I went in for an angiograph, to see if the coronary arteries were part of the issue. After the test, the doctor stated that the heart was beating just fine, without problems! God's timing is perfect!
