Loving from a Distance

I have had a few situations where I am choosing to love from a distance.  First I work with someone who causes havoc in the room.  I can't change her but I can pray and I can show her the right way toward the children, the staff and the situation.

Then my pastor.  He has greatly disappointed me a lot in the past.  The most recent the foot injury.  But I am not bitter.  I am just realizing it is part of the picture and that I can't change him but I can choose to love from a distance.

Then Mom's new possible surgery.  I am not looking forward to it.  She does not handle stuff like this well but I know it might be the thing she needs to feel better and move.  I pray that the Lord will give her wisdom.

I love my dad but I am learning I have to love him from a distance, admire his good qualities and leave the right of the stuff with you Lord. 

Broken Ankle, New Job and Blessings

 It has been quite the week with school meetings and my broken ankle.  And then the other leg needing some attention.  I am thankful for my healing and that only my left leg had a broken ankle.  

I am getting over my bitterness with the church.  If I want to have a friend I need to be one.  Despite what is going on I can't choose my pastor not to say things that bother me but I can control the whys. 

Looking at the Full Picture

 I got rebaptized yesterday.  It was incredible.  This morning I was walking down my stairs and essentially broke my ankle.  Even though  I will not be able to run for a while I am thankful that I did not fall at Swallow Cliff with all the stairs.  I was at home when I fell.  My husband was able to go with me.  I did not get the outreach I wanted to go to but I am rethinking the whole thing about Elevation.  Thanks for sharing

Who knows what might of happened if I went.  We only know part of the picture.  God does.  I am thankful for a boss who cares. And fellow teachers as well.

Blessings and Concerns

 I went into school yesterday.  It went well I got a lot done.  I even saw my SIL.  That was cool.  I am nervous about Sat.  Getting baptized.  I know I should do a redo because my attitude is different.  And serving Sunday kind of nervous.  Letting my bad attitude of Stone go.  

Time Marches On

 I had my first offical meeting with the coop.  It was good but overwhelming.  I am thankful for the mediciation that helps with my anxiety.  Second I am learning about time marching on.  I ran into two friends and age showed me life is moving on. 

I am thankful

 Today I am reminded of my blessings in the past week.  Yesterday my side window almost was taken off by a lighted horse.  I finished my race with 16 seconds faster per mile.  I got to pray for someone who would not admit they were hurting but I could see they were.  This week I am learning how to overcome my fears and see things from a Heavenly perspective.  

Continued Blessings

 I am thankful that my therapy is going well, my running is improving, I am enjoying my summer and things I needed to take care of in the house are beginning to blossom.  Thank you Lord
