Just noticed it's been a year since I was really sick and out of work for much of a week. I won't go into detail but it was food poisioning or something like it... it hit me after I got off the air that night in 2005 one day after my wedding anniversary... I was so sick I could barely move. It was a big enough event that I wrote it in my "Utmost" notes last year this time. I remember feeling so thankful after it was all over and I began to feel good again. I remember thanking the Father for being so good to me and restoring my health. Now a year later, I still thank the Father for being so good and faithful. I'm not blaming God for the sickness...just thanking HIm for using it for good..I was just re-reading "MY UTMOST" for today...I can remember reading it and appreciating it last year this time...
"The test of a man's religious life and character is not what he does in the exceptional moments of life, but what he does in the ordinary times, when there is nothing tremendous or exciting on...
It is difficult to get into stride with God, because when we start walking with Him we find He has outstripped us before we have taken three steps. He has different ways of doing things, and we have to be trained and disciplined into His ways. ...
God's Spirit alters the atmosphere of our way of looking at things, and things begin to be possible which never were possible before. Getting into the stride of God means nothing less than union with Himself. It takes a long time to get there, but keep at it. Don't give in because the pain is bad just now, get on with it, and before long you will find you have a new vision and a new purpose. "
