And yet when you think about it, think about Job. Imagine – you’ve lost your livestock, they’ve been stolen. Your sheep and camels were also destroyed. Your employees murdered, your children crushed – all of them, all ten! And then, you’re going to get a horrible disease. I mean, did Job say, “Why?” I know his wife did. His wife advised: “Curse God and die!” But Job quickly responded wisely, “Shall we accept only good from God and never adversity?”
I wish I didn’t break my leg. I wish bad things didn’t happen to people. But it does. And we quickly get stuck in the “Why?” It says in Romans, (11:33) “Oh, the depth… of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!” Maybe we just need to trust more and believe in the hope of Easter.

In the book of James chapter 3 verse 2 it says, “For we all stumble in many ways.” We all slip and fall physically and spiritually. The question is whether or not we’re willing to get up. Or as one person said it, “God wants to use us – stumbling and all – but He won’t use us if we refuse to get up.”
It’s Holy Week. It’s time for us to admit that we’ve fallen and that we can get up and that God wants us to get up in our brokenness to create us new and to let us share the good news of a risen Lord and Savior. So this week, let’s just admit we stumble, we fall, but let’s scratch and claw and stand up and share the good news of Christ every day. Have a blessed Holy Week.

I’m wondering, over the last year, have you experienced erosion? Has your foundation been eaten away? I know the quick answer is, “Oh no! No way, I am still solid.” But the truth is, erosion is sneaky and slowly pulls away that soil and pretty soon things crumble.

When is the last time that you had a good cry? When was the last time you let your feelings come out and show them to someone – about how much you cared, about how concerned you were? Who knows what the tears were for? But you were willing to be vulnerable and share your innermost passion.
So, just think about it. Tears are part of who we are, part of who God created within us. Don’t be afraid to show them. Have a great day and thanks again for Wednesday wondering… or weeping! God bless.

But they take it a step further. They don’t only look at it externally, but they look at it internally. Are we friendly to ourselves? Or are we a blessing to ourselves? God created us fearfully and wonderfully. Do we believe that? Do we believe how special we are? Because we need to believe how amazing we are in order to be amazing to others.
And so, I’m wondering, are you friendly to yourself? Do you bless yourself? Because in order to love others, in order to bless others, we’ve got to believe that God created us for special things. I’m wondering how friendly you are to others and to yourself. Have a wonderful day and keep on wondering.

But then I’m reminded that God created me with a purpose. That Psalm 139 reminds me that He made me, He knit me together in my mother’s womb. He had a plan before I even knew. Or I am reminded of others in Scripture, like Amos: “… I was neither a prophet nor a prophet’s son, but I was a shepherd, and I also took care of sycamore-fig trees. But the LORD took me from tending the flock and said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’”
You know, YOU ARE IMPORTANT! God has got a plan. Even in these challenging times, each of us has a purpose and God doesn’t make junk. So, Happy Birthday to me. But more importantly, Happy Birthday to each of us. Because God loves you, you’re a child of God, and you have an amazing purpose in life. Have a GREAT day! Happy Birthday!
