Yesterday my mom and I tackled our driveway, and we were able to clear a path for one car to get out to the street. It took a little over two hours. After we were done shoveling and snowblowing, my back was on fire! I took a long shower and hooked up the heating pad for some relief.
This morning I woke up and was feeling fine. I was determined to go in to work, so I went out and tried to clean off my car and make a little more room for the car to squeeze out.
Can I tell you my back is talking to me now? And I'm soo tired! I guess I should have given myself a bit more time to recover from the strain of yesterday.
Too often we can make assumptions and put ourselves into situations that we're not quite ready for yet. We see something we want, and we rush in only to be thrown off our feet.
We need to make sure our decisions are approved by the Ultimate Decision Maker, our Heavenly Father. He knows how much we can handle, and He can see the angles of the issues that we cannot. He knows the desires of our hearts and wants to fulfill those wants. However, He also knows how much we can bear and won't overload us.
We just have to trust His Word that He knows what's best. I can't tell you how many times I ignored the tug of the Holy Spirit and went on and did what I wanted only to regret what I did. The Lord won't steer you wrong!
So, let the Lord in as you make your plans and decisions. His oversight will help keep you on the right track and victorious in all you do.
Verse of the Day: Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. John 16:13
Hey Ti....I'm glad you all are well and equally distressed that you and your mom had to shovel snow yesterday! James and I did the same - but more so James! but not to my liking becs I like to shovel the snow! but we give Thanks that we are able to see the snow and yes even shovel it but even more so that we have the health and strength to do so! Hallelujah Now that's a decision worthy of Praise!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're alright, Miss Reesy! My mom was a trooper. I was trying to tell her that I had it, but she wanted to help. Yes, I'm praising God that we were able to handle it!
