Sometimes the days are just long. Starting last Thursday Carson has been fevering and coughing and has continued up till this point. She is such a sweetie-pie its hard to see her down and out. I am so greatful Brook took Elliott today because she is so verbally demanding. She talks and talks continunally and wants immediate responses within a nano-second! She has no clue she is like this; she's just five!
I was so greatful for my devotions this morning. I have been studying the gospel of Mark and it has been so encouraging to reconnect with Jesus in a gospel again. This morning I was at the point past the Mount of Olives into Pilates court. I was tentative to read the cruxification for fear my mind was not ready to contemplate such heavy scripture. I prayed the Lord would put me in the right mind set and prayerfully continued reading the cruxification story. I then read the commentary out of the book "The Desire of Ages" concerning the cruxification (the all-time best book on the life Christ aside from the Bible itself). When I read the words, "It is finished." It hit me again. It really was finished. The work of Christ as our sacrificial lamb and atonement, was complete and sin and death were conquered! With tear filled eyes all I could do was look up and cry, "Hallelujah!"
No matter what each day holds, and there are much more difficulties than my child being sick, I know "It is finished." I can rely wholly and completely on Jesus to carry me through because he silently carried every burden of mine to the cross and conquered it. Praise to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords! Hallelujah to the Lamb that was slain!
