Oh, it’s so good to have you to share coffee with and to share, from
my heart to yours, this amazing transformation series. Grab your coffee
and come join me for a break.
So why did I talk so much about
taking tests, and how hard test-taking is for me? The answer is simple:
To reveal the grace of His sovereign hand in my life that continues to
compel me forward in marriage, in my own car and lane, while others
around me are driving recklessly! I can do nothing about their driving,
even if they come over into mine. Now, don’t get me wrong, even Jesus
bent down and “gently” drew a line in the sand saying no more, but He
did it gently and matter-of-factly, not emotionally, screaming and
crying. But I believe He may have been crying inside, but He wasn’t
driven by His emotions, either.
See, I long to share, from my
heart to yours, all that He is doing in me in spite of the behavior of
others, not to glorify the pain or others missing my mark, but to
inspire you to come closer to the God of grace, the divine healer, the
miracle maker, the healer, provider. Oops, I could have kept that
paragraph going for a long time.
While I had learned that I
couldn’t keep things, or persons, under control, I was tugging on George
to do just that with many things that were going on in our home. But he
wasn’t there yet. I was letting go of the rope of control, but I was
still struggling with the temptation to throw it at him and MAKE him
grab it!
I was, however, determined to have my own relationship
with Bryce and forego the prior efforts of going through George to
communicate my needs to him. It wasn’t easy, by any means, but I found
the more I went to him, the less difficult it was. I wanted him to like
me but I didn’t “need” for him to like me!
Join me Monday for more of this 30-day trial,
Tested,
Evinda
