I do not know why I am still amazed by God... yes, I do! I cannot understand or fathom Him, so when He gives me a glimpse of who He is, I am amazed. I know He is all powerful and controls all things yet I do not always "see" it so obviously. This morning when I was (well, still am) quite fatigued, weary, hurting at 7:30 a.m.... I felt I could not even muster the strength to pray (which I knew I needed to do). So, after Katie asked for a nap (probably just wanted "blankie time" but if she asks for a nap, I gladly let her stay in her crib for about an hour... usually she really does nap, but today I believe she won't), then Connor asked for a nap (not normal! He must really be behind on sleep), and of course I put Kara to sleep (she still sleeps a lot). I called a dear friend to ask her to pray for me. I usually cannot "catch" this dear friend because she is also a Mom who (rightly so) has many Mommy priorities that rank higher than answering the telephone. But I figured God knew if she was available. She was and was currently praying for me after just finishing the blog update I had just posted. WOW. As you can imagine, I was in tears at God's showing me how much He cares for me and tangibly reminding me of His absolute sovereignty over all things. (I mentally always know that, but I don't always practically know that... anyone relate?)
I just wanted to share my reminder at how BIG and GREAT God is. Yet He chooses to care about my "little" emotions. *sigh* I am truly "leaning on the everlasting arms" - what a gift.
