This weekend and the week to come my life will be controlled by waiting for a phone call to tell me when I have to go to work and when I get to go home and rest. Gotta love it. If you can't tell I'm a little perturbed by this fact, but it is a fact of life in the military so I will get over it.
In other news, yesterday I said goodbye to the Thailand Missions Team as we dropped them off at the airport. I'm so excited to see what God is doing in Thailand especially at the ImJai House. The group that is going is amazing and are going to do great things there. Am I bummed that I was unable to go due to Air Forcey things as my friend Kate would say, yes. Have I gotten over it and realized there is a reason for me to be here in Okinawa right, yes. I'm starting to realize that God is shaking up my world and I'm ok with it. I'm taking this week while my good friends are gone to really get back into the Word and getting to know God better everyday. I'm not going to lie my alone time with God has been lacking. But since my friends have left and I'm in my room waiting for the next call to come from work, the more I pick up my bible, which I love.
Also, the whole saying pride comes before the fall and careful for what you ask God for have really come into play this last week in my life. Friday I had my PT test and failed it. First off I have never failed anything in my life let alone something that has to do with physical activity. Well God served me a piece of humble pie because I only failed by .75 of a point and passed the new PT standards which go into affect July 1. There is the pride before the fall, where is the careful for what you ask God for you might say? Here it is, I have been praying that I would find more time to be with God. I even came down with a plan. Here was my plan: get up at 5 be out the door by 530 to go running, home by 630 and showering, done by 7, eat breakfast and read my bible and off to work at 845. I prayed asking God to help me get up that early and He did but I ignored Him. There were mornings where I would just wake up and know I needed to get moving also on more than one occasion my phone would ring and no one had called and what did I do hit the snooze button until it was time to get up and go to work. Yep I ignored God's answer to my prayers and He served me a piece of humble pie and time with Him. I know have to have a supervised routine workout in the mornings, which will help me pass my PT test and give me plenty of time to hang out with God.
Yes God you have my attention now and I'm sorry that I didn't give it to you before. I asked for your help and you gave it to me and in turn I ignored you. I'm sorry, thank you for loving me enough to open my eyes to you. You are truly amazing and I'm blessed to be your child.
Here is a verse that really stuck out to me this week, just thought I would share it.
Matthew 7:21-23 " Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!"
Just a thought...do you know Him?
