He knows my name!

This has been a great weekend! I really started to feel better Saturday evening. It seemed that suddenly my weakness was finally nonexistent. I hear my voice coming back! I’ve spent half of Sunday out of the house. I’ve been to the pool twice in 2 days! LIFE IS WONDERFUL!!
I had no idea the panhandle was so gorgeous and that’s because we haven’t left this town. It’s so green outside. You constantly hear God’s wonders outside. Children laughing and playing, the birds singing, it’s like a fairy tale or maybe I’ve been stuck in the house far too long. Nah, I just think the Lord has opened my eyes to more beauty is all.
The sky here is so blue, so vibrant. The air warm and semi dry (at least the past 2 days). All the insects gathering their essentials. It’s an absolute beauty. A beauty like no other ever seen. You got to see this through my eyes.
Moving on. There’s a thorn in my eye. Have you ever saw yourself in such a manner? I recently have. Boy, does it hurt! I have found myself (often) quick to judge but never did I place judgment on myself. Well I’ve recently found myself having to remove that plank from my eye. It wasn’t easy that’s for sure. I’ve read and I’ve realized that I needed to come clean in order to really be able to forgive and most importantly LOVE.
Okay, I needed to do some things with the kids and took a break. LOL!
Back to the last paragraph, man was it difficult. I thought I would be hated for a while. It’s funny how things work, because I got the complete opposite. I know there are still a few things and a few people I need to come clean with, but in due time it will happen. Are you one of these people? The one that has a sore eye and a rotting finger? It’s not easy but with a little prayer you can. I can be there for you because I know for sure that for the next one I’ll need a shoulder and someone to pray with as well. God will need to put strength in both you and me. I will no longer judge those until I have fully convicted myself of all the wrong doing in my life. Once I have accomplished that I will then be able to open my heart and fully accept what someone may have for me. And instead of being angry, I will quickly learn to forgive him or her.
One more thing, how often do we wonder if God really knows our needs? I know I’m guilty. How often do we know others needs? How often do we really care about our neighbor, friend, husband, wife, etc.? Now, how often do you pray? It hit me over the weekend as I heard “he knows my name”. Well who is he? He is our Lord Jesus Christ. He knows our needs, he knows our wants and he knows our name. Funny thing though is that he only feeds us with what we need. Don’t you hate that?! He gives us enough satisfaction to feed ourselves and leaves the rest behind. Makes you think about how selfish we really are huh? Maybe he does it because we only do enough to get by? Or maybe he does it because he is being mean? YEAH RIGHT! Or maybe we’re to self centered and too worldly to realize that there is nothing more we need? Oops, did I offend you, because I sure as heck offended myself. I guess I shouldn’t ramble on because yeah I felt that steak come right through the mid section of my chest.
With all this time of focusing on myself and others I thought it would be a great to ask for those that need a prayer request of some sort to send me a quick message. I want to focus on you and your needs for minute forget about what I need. Right now it’s you that is more important. In church a woman stood up and said that the body that lay in the church needed help. Without an arm the body could not completely function. HUM. Well dear friends you are a part of this body, let’s make it work together. Let’s build a strong relationship within our homes, friends, churches, children, and make sure that the foundation meets every requirement necessary.
