Another fine brisk day here in Antarctica!!!
I know it's January and it's supposed to be cold here, but...................
Unseasonably warm weather would not hurt my feelings right about now!!
Not much to report at this time, just relearning how to do life again, reconnecting up with people that I hid away from for a while, during the grieving process, after a few too many tried to correct me in my "unsaved attitude" after my son was shot.
I was afraid of my response the next time some one told me to "get over it, cause he is in heaven", and "a christian shouldn't grieve" and "after all I am a praise and worship leader so I should know better"!!
I kept wondering what bible they were reading.
It was the cold arrogance that was served to me in the name of "holy righteousness", that really made me want to kick a** and or slap the taste out of their mouths and repent later, instead I opted to take my broken heart home to my husband and God.
I'm glad I did, by the time Father finished with me I was able to deal calmly with people's lack of compassion, and just plain ignorance.
I have often wondered just what God sees in us, (starting with me) that made Him willing to give the sacrifice, He did for our redemption.
Then I remember:
Isaiah 55: 8-9
8For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
9For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
And I'm thankful!!
Wow, first off, you are a STRONG woman to have dealt with that!! Reading people's responses to such a hard and trying time in your life brought me to tears. I am glad you humbled yourself enough to find the comfort you needed from God and your AMAZING husband rather than in the moment of a heated comment and chose not to say something you would regret later. Your words were of great encouragement to me today. I really needed to see that I am not alone and that I can find the comfort I continue to need daily. Thank you!
