My eyes are showing their age. It began right after my 40th birthday. Everything I read became difficult to read. I found myself holding things farther from my face so that I could see things clearly. Soon my arms weren’t long enough. I could no longer deny it; I needed reading glasses. So I went to the local mega mart and purchased a pair for every room in the house. (I did that because my eyes aren’t the only thing giving out…. I usually can’t remember where I put the glasses that I just had on!) The glasses helped, but then another problem emerged…..I needed more light. Now if I want to read, I need my glasses and a flood light! To be honest, this has been a frustrating change. I like seeing clearly. I like seeing all the details when I read or look at something. I also like seeing life situations clearly.<\/p>\n
Right now, I’m experiencing a situation that is fuzzy and unclear. I can’t see the details. It is very frustrating. I know that God is working. I know He has a plan. I’m just having trouble seeing. I’ve asked to see the plan. God tells me not to worry; He knows the plan. I’ve asked to see Him working. He tells me to trust Him; He is working. I tell Him I want to see. He says, I know; you will someday…. He’s calling me to focus solely on Him and not the circumstances. Some days that is hard. I am easily distracted. Other days, He sends me gentle, loving reminders. Reminders that He delights in me, that He has a plan, and that He can be trusted. He is faithful. He is powerful. He is good. <\/p>\n
He is teaching me to live without seeing all the details. I learning to trust more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
