I'm sitting here in the same place where days ago my pain was so intense. Just hours ago, hours and minutes and seconds ago, I couldn't breathe because every inhalation felt like betrayal. I'm sitting here and rejoicing.
Watching our Father work is better than watching the greatest chef prepare a meal. Watching the pieces come together where there was no earthly way for them to fit is more amazing than watching any chopper OCC has ever built come together in the midst of family drama. Our God is so much bigger than we can ever comprehend.
I'm sitting here in the same place where just hours ago I prayed the prayer I heard on the radio the day before things fell apart. The preacher said "When you talk to God, tell Him: you told me to do this, now tell me how to get through it." I'm not sure what else he said because all I could here was that line. Hours later I said "Lord, You told me to do this. Now tell me how to make it through." He said go.
Every step seemed more than I could possibly take. But, He said go. I took each step. I remember some of them. The ones where I told my foot "move" and He moved it because I couldn't. I prayed over and over "You said do it, help me through it". He didn't need the reminder but I did.
Today I wore mascara for the first time in a week. When I woke up this morning I knew the steps would be easier. I thought about walking on water. I thought about how some days, you step out of the boat and are swallowed by the waves. I thought about other days when you step out of the boat and stay dry for a moment. One day I will step out of the boat and fly.
I'm sitting in the place where my heart felt more pain than I thought was possible. I'm sitting here hours, minutes, and seconds away from that pain and I'm rejoicing. My Father said go and I went. He moved heaven and earth to comfort me.
And the greatest thing is, while He was comforting me He was orchestrating a million other rescues, blessings, healings,comfortings. I am only an example. He will do even more wonderful things for you. I hope I get to watch. I want to see the miracles He works in the lives of everyone.
I'm sitting here in expectation of wonder and awe praising the creator of the universe who loves us!
