Designer Frying Pans (MDFL #2)

Out of the ER fire but back in a frying pan of my own design. It seems so easy to forget that God’s got this. I couldn’t see it through my fatigue and struggle but as I regain my strength, there He is, all along, as always.
When I was in Zanzibar and my mom had some struggles at my home that caused my brother to fly out to help, I could only see myself and my miscalculations. I was afraid of what, I felt, was my own failure and afraid to face what I felt would be my family’s disappointment. My self focus made me unwilling to face the situation yet when I returned home, my fears were not realized. God was in all of it, making a way that I could not conceive of because I wasn’t looking in the right place, or more accurately, in the right Face.

And here it is again. I so intensely want to honor my Mama’s lifelong wishes especially now that she is so diminished yet my own physical strain mixes up my focus as it did in Zanzibar. It is only as rest returns, as I get out of my own way, that I can see. God’s got this. Of course He does.

As He promised Habbakuk, He also promises me.
“Look at the nations and watch—
and be utterly amazed.
For I am going to do something in your days
that you would not believe,
even if you were told.
Habbakuk 1:5

Amazed at being fearfully and wonderfully made especially when I am so frying pan prone,
