I had another migraine last night. I got somewhat frustrated about it. I’d like to figure out how to get healed from them. I’d like to say the right prayer to have God remove them from me. I don’t understand all the reasons why they persist.
This morning, I was taking out the trash (the first tangible thing God had me do with a gladful heart to show Annie I love her back in the 80s) and felt like loving Annie always brings me back to the simplicity of my faith, calms me down, and moves me back into God’s rest and dwelling place. I don’t have all the answers to life and the Christian walk. Sometimes I think I have something figured out only to discover that I feel like I might be getting too big for my britches so to speak. I can see why God didn’t let me go on to advanced degrees. He knew I might lose Him trying to figure Him out like a lot of others I’ve witnessed doing over the years.
I’m not putting down others who have degrees and great theological understanding. As much as I wanted to pursue the same goals, I’m very thankful that for me, it always comes back to simply loving my wife. That’s where I’m the most grounded. It’s what keeps me. God knew it would.
Thank You, God.
Thanking and praising God in all things,
Mark
