Matthew 10 Amplified Bible (AMP)29 Are not two [j]little sparrows sold for a penny? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father’s leave (consent) and notice.30 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.31 Fear not, then; you are of more value than many sparrows.32
God Loves me enough to count the hair on my head. That is enough for me
Today, I meditated on the fact that GOD LOVES me. He cares about even the smallest details of my life. Even the things that I would never concern myself with.
Today,I have had an eventful day to say the least.
-Up at 3am
-Worked alone today, my partner was ill
-1kid stuck in the snow
-Another needs to get to work
-2 more at school to pick up
-I hit a pot hole----Flat tire
I feel blessed that just as I have confessed all of the PROVISION to do what was needed was given. I really did have a JOYFUL day.
As I promised I would be, I will be transparent so I will also add that...
Today, I also felt overwhelmed, under valued and just tired of being SUPER...Natural! I am a mother and I have been for more than half of my life. I am the go to for EVERYTHING with my children and yes, I am honored, but I am tired of fixing EVERYTHING! I am a wife, sister, friend, nurse, cook, daughter,cheerleader, coach, advocate, intercessor, chauffeur, comforter, enforcer and the list goes on!
Most people would describe me as a STRONG person. That is true, I am Strong! But what most people fail to realize is that I am also fragile and I need careful handling. I have been broken more than a few times by life, and just like the new skin of a healed wound I was MADE STRONG by being broken. I did not wake up one day and just place this SUPER...on my NATURAL self. Sometimes even I am fragile....so handle me with care. I have cried more than I have laughed.That is why I laugh so much, I'm playing catch up you see. I have gone without more than I care to remember and I simply refuse to continue to neglect me anymore. I have given more than I had to the point of almost being empty. I have made myself vulnerable to those who NEVER earned it, only to hear "nobody told you to do that". I am IMPORTANT enough for God to count my hair, yet at times I feel useless.That is insane! I have heard "girl I just don't know how you do it" more than I can remember and the truth is...me neither! I now realize that my STRENGTH was BIRTHED out of the WEAKNESS that God used to cover and protect me because He knew that there would not be another human on this earth that would take the time to see the fragile pieces of me.
Today, I Challenge you to find the SUPER...in your NATURAL and acknowledge your value! I mean I really LOVE my kids but I am NOT counting their hair! OHHHHH how he loves you...Now Journal it...
Lord, I thank and praise you for continuing to bless and keep me. I thank you Father for Always providing for me. Give me this day a renewed strength and help guide me into an increase of SUPER...on my NATURAL life. In Jesus name Amen
The Journey Continues...
