I love being able to sit on my deck and do my studying and writing. Right now, I have my favortie cup of tea. I am listening to my favorite music on my phone. Reminding me of how much God has done for me. Hearing in the distance of people working in their yards. A breeze blowing just enough, I had to run in and get a sweater.
As then, I think of what a big wonderful friend I have, Jesus Christ. He is my healer, provider. This summer, He has shown me in so many ways, how he cares for me. I was walking the beach, while visiting friends and family. A mighty big wave grabbed my cane, I kept trying to reach it when the wave would bring it back in. I would almost have it and a wave would grabbed it over and over. Finally, God spoke to my heart in a very real way, " Don't ya get it Paula? You don't need that." I stopped short, looked up and said" Your right Lord, I don't need it." since that day I walk without a cane up and down hills and never fall.
In this lesson, God showed me some real truths. In 1995, God came down and healed me in a very real way. I hardly used that cane expect if I walked without John. I didn't think anything about it. It had been a part of my life. Never needing the cane or scooter unless, it was long distance and very hot. God had healed me in so many other ways, I just did what I always did.
I truly believe my heavenly father was telling me" You been taking baby steps. Now let me do what I want to do" by grabbing the cane, I had to depend on God and the healing he had given me so very long ago. I had to finish walking that beach, climb up the slippery sandy dunes.
I heard not too long ago this: " People want to let the Lord be the driver, but they want to hold on to the steering wheel."
Well I have let go of the steering wheel and I am still standing, walking and carrying something at the same time.
After the Lord showed me that lesson on the beach. After I agreed I didn't need that old cane, It stood straight up and danced along the waves, like it was laughing at me. My mother in law and I stood there and just hysterically laughed, holding our sides and the sight of that cane.
God is so good.
