In Other Words Tuesday

Please join us today over at Karen's for In Other Words Tuesday.

“One of Eve’s biggest mistakes was she stopped, and started to think about what satan was saying, and it made sense to her. Not everything God tells us makes sense, but that’s where faith comes in. We need to learn to be lead by our hearts, and not our heads.”

by Joyce Meyers : On Christmas Eve, when my dear husband passed out, and fell into my arms, nothing made sense to me immediately after that. The hospital room quickly became filled with medical personal, as they rushed in with a crash cart. They were telling me I needed to leave the room, so they could work on my husband. At that point, in my mind, I said,"This is not happening, God cannot, and will not, let Eddie die. I know He will not take him from me." I was totally losing it, crumbling like a cookie, falling to pieces. I began to get physically sick, actually having to go to the emergency room myself, due to my diabetes. They took Eddie to intensive care, I could not be with him. I was trying to rationalize all of this in my mind. Over, and over, I kept thinking"Why is this happening to us? One minute, Eddie was in perfect health, the next, he is in the hospital, numb from the waist down, and now nearly dying. As the nurse came in to check my blood sugar, I asked her what time it was, she glanced at her watch, smiled at me, and said, "Merry Christmas, it is midnight." At that point, my mind quit working overtime, and my heart took over. Christmas, my precious Saviours birthday. He was here with me, in the emergency room, He was upstairs in intensive care with Eddie, He was in every area of this hospital, performing healing, miracles, spreading love, and much comfort. He had not left us, He was closer than ever. Actually, He was carrying me through all of this. He continued to carry us through the next six months in amazing ways. My husband had to go to rehab, could barely walk, was not able to work, our future looked very cloudy, but God shined through. He took care of all of our needs. As of May 24, Eddie is back at work full time. He still has no feeling in his feet, or legs, but he is doing really well. We are truly living our lives by faith, following our hearts, which totally belong to our Father God. No, everything does not always make sense, but that is ok. God knows what is best for us, so we follow His lead, He is the Teacher, we are the students. So, I pray that you will follow your heart, give your brain a rest my friends.
