Question to myself, have I been a good and faithful servant? There are things I am good at, others…I need work.

I traveled over the weekend and while it was worth what follows, “I am outta my bubble, you know, the safe zone, the routine, what you know”, it was still work for me. A person with MS speaking to herself.

This trip took out of me more than I thought it would. I am a bit more run down and it’s taken me longer to bounce back. Again, well worth my struggles & wiggles. A free breakfast itself is not worth that fight but seeing a beloved son and his family are.

I am once again in my save zone listening to what I know to be true, His word. (I don’t usually listen to it, I read it. But I am a bit weak).

Because I am listening, I may focus and hear stuff I don’t normally. Interesting…

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and have remained faithful. And now the prize awaits me – the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who look forward to his appearing. 2 Timothy 4:7-8 NLT

I would like the crown I received after finishing a race. I bet God/Jesus would make it glittery & pretty for me. I feel that is how He works.

I started running right before I got “sick”. I know the feeling. I was walking around our block too. What a time of happiness. At least for me. All of that was taken from me. One day it’s around me, the next day, not so much. What a weird feeling.

For we are God’s masterpiece. He created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the things he planned for us long ago. Ephesians 2:10 NLT

He planned ahead! He planned for this trip. He knew what would happen. He knew what would be true. He knew how my body would react and how long it will take me to recover. Even if I am not perfect, I am still his masterpiece. He knew beforehand I would be plagued with MS.

You see, He created me.

You made me; you created me. Now give me the sense to follow your commands. Psalm 119:73 NLT

It’s interesting as I was planning on blogging or writing about the Rubic’s Cube. I think it is amazing how He works. I remember thinking the analogy about the Rubic’s cube made great sense. Thoughts forgotten now.

So now, putting all I know to be true into practice and creating a masterpiece. One that is yours. Two different thoughts, related but different. Hmmm…

Down the rabbit hole I go, see you later as I bet I find new reflections (stuff).
