Yesterday was a good day. I’m not sure how it happened but I thought a lot about the question, “How can I trust the Lord more?” I realized that somewhere in my thoughts I am still trying to do it all myself; that I am still trying to bear the full weight of my burdens by myself. I felt so overwhelmed yesterday I had two an extra prayers in the morning to plea for strength to help me lift my burdens. The results were amazing. He not only lifted me but magnified me. The blessings of the day were that I was able to be patient with my children, even during Scouts. I was able to help a lady get started with herbs to heal an 8 year old c-section incision (an oozing abscess) and other 20 year chronic conditions. She is very excited and ready to commit. She told me that she liked how I was living my life and that she wanted to become like me. That was very sweet of her, yet in my heart I recognized that she was seeing the light of Christ in my life. She was seeing His mercy of lifting me up in my weakness. She saw me being loving and patient with my children; she liked that I make my own popsicles, and did herbs to take care of my family. I told her about the Dr Christopher’s Family Herboligist home study course that I just got done with, and she wants to take it. So far she has kept her word and done everything she said she would do. I am happy for her, and I am confident that she is going to feel like a new woman. She said her condition has been so bad that she didn’t take her oldest child to the play at the park until he was 12 years old. He is now about 17. The last blessing of the night was that a lady I serve with at church came by to drop off the key to the car. She confirmed my feeling to set up appointments with the Sisters for visiting teaching supervisor- which affirmed my witness of the Spirit that I was doubting. And she also said that I was the most honest person she knows- because I told her sometimes I do make myself miserable by not being flexible and not trusting the Lord enough. Now that I think about it, she masterfully turned a compliment I gave her into praise for me… I told her “you are so flexible, I love it!” and she said, well you have to be otherwise we’d make ourselves miserable. That’s when I said, “Sometimes I do.” Then she told me I was the most honest person she knows. She is SO amazing. I want to be like her! Maybe in another 20 years, I can traverse part of the way. I was also able to tell my Cub Scouts that I believe in them and help them know I love them. The Spirit bore me up to teach them well.
