It's been one of those weeks. With so many good intentions I have not taken time to read anymore about Moses and what made him special

. I had a mini crisis of my own. Wednesday I had pain, pain and more pain. (fibromyalgia and arthritis)........which in turn led to emotional pain.....bwaaa....which led to tears........which led eventually to a prayer "God, please help me to accept those things I cannot chance, the grace to accept those things I can't and the wisdom to know the difference." That last one is the hardest. After all these many years, I keep thinking things are going to change and I just end up hitting my head against the wall. Talk about being dense!! Oh well, I want what I want what I want. Doesn't mean I'm going to get it. After all that I read Psalm 34 - it says "the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." I felt better - in my surrender to those things I cannot control I met the only one who could answer my prayer. Guess sometimes when we surrender is when we really win.

Now, to stop trying to do everything in my own strength.

Peace.

Jesus Outside the Box: Free Hugs

Worth watching.......consider yourself hugged!!

I was reading today about Moses and his brother Aaron and sister Miriam. Talk about family squabbles! Miriam and Aaron were kvetching about Moses - because of Moses' wife. Wonder what they didn't like about her. It really seems as though she (the wife) wasn't the problem, because God called the three of them out. God really stuck up for Moses and took the other two to task. He went on to tell them how special Moses was in comparison to anyone else. Wow! I wonder what it's like to get such a major pat on the back from God Himself. & how Miriam and Aaron felt. I think if I were them I would have wanted to crawl under a rock.

One verse says that Moses was very humble, more than any man on the face of the earth. Pretty amazing considering he stood up to Pharoah and led maybe a million Israelites out of Egypt in the greatest escape ever told. And yet, God gave this man a pat on the back. This has given me something to think about. Humility is not one of my problems....yet, God said He spoke to Moses face to face. There is a lesson to be learned here. I will be considering how to grow in this area. Maybe it will help make my corner of the world a little better.

Follow the link below if you want to read the passage I'm referring to. I couldn't figure out how to make an active link yet, so here is the address and you can copy and paste: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=numbers%2012&version=50

Hopefully, I will find time to read more about Moses. I'm blown away how God would do that. Wonder if He does stuff like that now.
