God did the irreversible on my birthday. I am so excited that I just have to share it with you all. I woke up really disturbed. I was very heartbroken, my father had past away about a year and a half ago. I would not be receiving a phone call from him today. My father's birthday is today, the 4 th. I was his gift many years ago. I never grieved over the lost of my father, for I was happy that he did not have to suffer no more, he was diabetic and going for dialysis everyday. He also suffered with heart disease. Well, it just so happened that I watched Joyce Meyers that morning and she had mentioned how we cannot let our emotions rule our lives. So I made a decision, I was not going to let my emotions ruined my day.
My husband and I went to the show and saw Shutter Island. It's a true story about criminals who were mentally ill. By the time I walked out I was so grateful that I was born during this era, and not back in the 50's when they were doing lobotomies. I was very grateful that I had a husband that loved me enough to get the help that I needed, so I did not harm myself or others. for those of you who don't know, I have bipolar.
That night we had the children over and I had taken some pictures and all my children were standing next to me. I had finally accepted the fact that they had truly forgiven me, for the darkest days of my life. In the midst of my illness I had said and done some pretty mean things to them. and they have chosen to forgive and love me dearly. What a gift! Not only that, but Matthew(who is my oldest son) who claims to be an agnostic was looking through the Bible! We were able to discuss Jesus first miracle and he even knew what the Master at the wedding had said about the wine! I was so excited that I told him "the word is in you and it will come forth some day when you really need it, like it or not! My daughter Rachel remarked "Mom that's the creepiest thing you have ever said!" I was so encouraged. When they had left that night Rachel had given me the hardiest hug she had ever given to me in my life. She is a very reserved person. .
To top the day off. I got a phone call at 7:30. It was from my younger brother, who has never called me on my Birthday! I was so blessed! I felt so loved by the end of the day that no gift can place the love I received that day. God is so good to me!
On the following day, I went to Sara's house ( my other daughter) and she had the T.V. on a children 's Christian station! I am seeing God working in the life of my children and I am excited. Oh yea, Rachel is going out with a Christian boyfriend, I just found that out too. Can you beat that for a Birthday? My kids were all brought up in the church but had abandon God when I became ill and now I'm reaping what I had sown. Glory to God!
God has cured me and the joy of the Lord is my strength.
