Late again, but still here
Posted By jessi on November 22, 2011
There are times when our life’s journey becomes tiresome. The weariness is often caused by a realization that we are not going anywhere like walking on a treadmill.
My journey continues and the year is coming to an end. Not much left of 2011. Sometimes I do feel as though I am on a treadmill going nowhere. I have thought about the year and where I have come…WOW! I must be thankful each day and I truly am even when sometimes I may not express it. God has been good to me and my family. My health continues to be great. I continue to work full time. Have even added going to the gym to my routine. Walking 2 miles a day on the treadmill is awesome. My goal is to lose 50 more pounds and this is a challenge…but I will keep walking.
God brought my eldest son through brain surgery with complete healing manifested! He brought my second son through a time after he lost his job to a great job here in Louisville, KY. Although it is ‘snuggly’ He has brought my children together for the holidays in a way that I would not have imagined. My weariness comes from the closeness and the daily activities of discipline and instruction to the kids. When you think that your kids are grown and gone…think again. They never go away completely and then there are ‘the grandkids’. I have told my grands’ that I am soooo tired of being the drill sergeant. I think much of my weariness comes not from working at the hospital but from dealings with my grandchildren and my children.
“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”
There is so much unrest at work these days, as well as the turmoil in the home front. So much that I do become weary. We just had Destiny Conference at TWOC with Danny Chambers, Patricia Bailey Jones and Bill Winston. If this did not stir, I do not know what will. The theme of the conference was RELEASE. It is a time of release…release of the past that holds us back so that we can be released to move forward into our destiny. My journey continues with enthusiasm and confidence that God has it under control because I am not sure of where it will go. I have discovered that it is not as much the destination point but the journey that is important. Every day becomes a challenge but an opportunity to bless someone. This blessing must begin inside the boundaries of the family then extending to the friends and neighbors.
I want to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to my children and my grandchildren. We cannot ALL be together on this special day but my blessings are extended to those who cannot come home. I wish thanksgiving blessings also for my co workers and for my Exfuze family. They are all special in my journey and I wish for them to know that they are blessed.
~Happy Thanksgiving 2011~
