His ways are higher

I have alot of thoughts wondering around my head tonight.

Thoughts of my family

Thoughts of God's faithfulness

Thoughts of God's protection

Thoughts of God's perfect plan for all of us

Thoughts of how God's ways are not our ways, and His ways are so much higher than ours

 

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord.

 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways
And My thoughts than your thoughts.

 Isaiah 55:8-9

 

I am thankful that God's thoughst are not my thoughts...mine are imperfect...and sometimes I am very hard on myself and selfish

My thoughts...have EVERYTHING planned out

I am thankful that my ways are not God's way...mine are limited and at times foolish

His ways are higher....For the greater of everyone!

His thoughts are ALWAYS full of love for me and knowing what is BEST and what the whole picture is about...

 This is my wonderful parents and my three children( picture was from 2 years ago).

But I wanted to post it, because of what God is doing in my parents life.

My kids are very close to their grandparents and I love that they share the same faith, and

have some great memories of those times and are continuing to create them.

 

We don't always know the whys...but we know the WHO!

 

 

 

 So this is what has happened...Dad had knee replacement surgery, which revealed issues in his back.  So he finds himself pretty much immobile with dependence on help from my mom and a walker.

 

 Now anyone who knows my dad, knows his passion for fishing. The man retired at

Roosevelt Lake. But now...he is unable to go...

Isn't he cute with his pistol :)

 

 He has to have physical therapy in Phoenix... he needs a place to stay...Courtney moves home... we go to Texas...etc... all part of God's plan, to be able to get Dad's attention...

 AND BOY DOES HE HAVE IT!

But he is now "counting it all joy" because of this time of recovery, he has been reunited with Jesus in a new and fresh way, and it is AMAZING!! and part of this blessing, is that he is sharing this newness with my daughter, while he stays at our house for his physical therapy.

They have been having wonderful conversation about the Lord!

My dad has said, that although he wishes the pain was gone, and he could walk on his own, he knows that this has led him back to where he needs to be. He wouldn't change that!

 

God's ways are higher!!

 

This is my beautiful mom!

She is so thankful, encouraged and challenged by what is happening in my dad.

 

So while we don't always understand why something happens, or even what we are suppose to do during these times...I have to always remember God's ways are higher than mine!

 

Of course this story will continue, because when our lives are changed by God...

It doesn't stop there...

As we shine our light and share the Good News, other are changed too!

Always a bigger picture than we can know or fathom!

I am a result of this and so are you!

Someone spoke into my life, someone prayed for me, circumstances...His ways...set my life into

motion to find Him!

Pretty Amazing!

 

 My thoughts tonight...  why else am I/we here in Texas?

I am excited about finding out what God has for us here...

to be continued...
