For I
know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He shall stand at the latter day upon
the earth
and though after my skin, worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall
I see God,
whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another, though my reins be consumed within me.
"But should ye say, `Why persecute we him?--seeing the root of the matter is found in me.
whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another, though my reins be consumed within me.
"But should ye say, `Why persecute we him?--seeing the root of the matter is found in me.
Job 19:25-28 (KJV21)
What's the worst that can happen? If it doesn't do well I can put on my big girl panties, deal with it and move on.

I did not have a great weekend. It devolved in agonizing sequence, like a car
crashing in slow motion; crumbling, like maybe a building demolition film run
at half speed, first a single brick, and then all of a sudden, CRASH! For those
in the know, I will say this…church meeting, fallen pizza, microwave (if you
don’t know, you’ll never know).

Here is today’s lesson…don’t give up, yet. |
By Sunday afternoon, I was pretty discouraged,
including that I’d committed to dancing and choreographing a new liturgical
dance work in about a week, including some people I’ve never worked with…a sane
person would crawl in bed and vow not to come out until spring thaw. I have never been described as sane.
Somehow (read by God’s Grace), I made it
through. I always do, but I never know
I’m going make it through my storms until the clouds begin to clear. The lesson, which I seem to need to learn
about once a month, is not to give up.
Just when you think things couldn’t get any worse…they might, but that’s
no reason to abandon your faith.
Job had it worse than I ever will. I simply do not believe it is God’s Will that
I suffer similar trials. Therein lay a
place to begin my praise. Job offers a
lesson few are
willing to admit to themselves, to amit to themselves...that being that the root of the problem rests not without, but within...
But ye
should say, Why persecute we Him, seeing the root of the matter is found in
me?” (Job 19:28KJV)
If that’s not a reason to pull up your big girl
panties, I’ll never find one. We are our
own worst enemies. We make the biggest
messes. And, when the messes are not of
our own making, we seldom make them better until after we’ve made them scads
worse.
