3 Week Check-up

I had my 3 week check up this morning... As you can see in the picture below, the slide on the left was the original break, and the slide on the right is the current break.  In three weeks time, the bone instead of healing has broken more. Roll-a-Bout scooter delivered today; blood work tomorrow; EKG on Wednesday... Yep, surgery on Monday.  I have been struggling all day..

The strength I will need in the upcoming weeks for all the unfinished lists, sink full of dishes, loads of laundry, upcoming events... You know that feeling of being so harried and hurried, because we make yesterday and tomorrow our business, instead of just being concern with today (yep, that's the one)?  And if we are honest with ourselves we know there are some items on our agendas that God didn't put there anyway.  Hmmmmmm!

So through my struggle today this is the message I've received and sharing with the hope that it will also help someone else... God is telling us to stop living in our own strength and to abide in Him.  He's calling us to be still, to remain and to dwell with Him.  He's calling us to let the pursuits of the world slip from our grasp and to live each day intentionally abiding in Him.  He's calling us to stop trying to be perfect in our own strength and instead linger near Him so that He can transform us into His image.  John 15:1-27
