Life is so full of adventures and no two days are the same. I am so grateful for today because yesterday for some unknown reason I was just out of sync. When I went to bed last night I was asking myself, is this the way people feel when they don’t wake up the next day? I even texted my middle daughter last night after sending notice to her, “Sorry, can’t talk right now.” “You alright??” (I never turn down a call from my children). “I will be. “ “Praying for you but I can listen if you need to talk.” “Thanks I am just out of it – no pain just want to stay in bed – did make myself go for a walk and got garbage out – out of sync…I’ll be alright if not on this side the other – seriously, I wonder if this is way folks feel when they don’t wake up – so call my landline sometime tomorrow if no answer I will be dancing on sea of glass. GN!” “Sista you are going to be dancing on Rodeo tomorrow but I will call. Rest easy. Your text made me laugh Ma even though I know you are serious.”
I woke up, feeling so much better, but before I got up I heard the Lord say to me, “Call Karen and have a conversation with her about the upcoming event you both share.” I was wondering, why she can’t call and talk to me, she is the hostess? At that point it came to me, “the meekest one will yield.” At that point, I want to be the meekest, so I said, Lord you open the door and I will walk in. While taking my bath got text and what the text said opened the door widely. First, I was angry, disturbed, anxious, etc. then I prayed, invited God into the situation, called Karen three or four times to communicate with her. (After I humbled myself). She just now text me that she is available, but I will call her early tomorrow as it’s my bedtime and besides I need to finish this blog.
Throughout this day, I had an amazing day. I met with Carletta and Josh and we went for walk and to a City event close to my house and it was great being out with them. Carletta actually did listen to my heart and some things she may not want to hear, but I could hear her point of view on that as well. Mutual respect! We plan on doing this weekly during Summer.
I do fear the future, as I see so much going on with older adults, many are in isolation and many are alone, now we want our independence, but we want socialization – just for us sake. I am grateful the Lord allowed me to face another day, to trust Him more and rely on Him and I await the time I can have that full assurance that His Eye Is on the Sparrow and I KNOW He Watches Me! It’s coming…
