Yesterday my husband came home sick, he went to bed and several hours later fainted in the bathroom. I called the equivalent of 911, and he was taken to the hospital. He is still there today, having tests done and getting fluids by IV.
I realized some things as I was handed responsibility for a night, not knowing what was the matter or what to expect. My 3 small kids tucked into their beds clueless that their daddy had been whisked away. I realized how much I lean on my husband for stability.
He is so patient, strong, gentle and calm. He is like the pillars in our home, standing firm and strong. I am like a tile roof and as the our family's pillars were shaken I felt my tiles beginning to quiver and slide.
I thank God that He understands and that He is my strong foundation.
As I try to read God's word I cannot concentrate for more than a few minutes. My heart, mind and thoughts are continually flying off to be with my love.
I thank God that He understands and doesn't condemn me for my weaknesses.
I am like a butterfly swooping into to settle on the flower of truth God is extending me. And as I read in Philippians 4 to rejoice, and not be anxious my heart is calmed and I flutter on. I know that soon again I will need the nectar of truth that only He can give and will go back to His Word and He will never cease to feed my thirst after Him and His truth.

How God Speaks
Recently my brother posed the question, "Does God speak?"
Since I know that God does speak I guess to me the question is, "How does God speak?"
As I thought more about this and the various ways we each let God lead in our lives I came to this idea of conclusion.
Could it be that God is as active in guiding our choices as we let Him be?
One person believes God has given him the wisdom to make wise choices and as he seeks to please God he believes that God has so guided his choices.
Another person is continually going to God in prayer throughout their day- trusting every little worry and concern to Him.
God leads both persons, but in different ways. In the ways that person has let Him do so- in the way that person needs.
What do you say, how does God lead you?
