Waiting
As I mentioned previously when this first happened I found myself with a permanent diagnosis of never walking again. The Lord gave us the Scripture in Habakkuk 2:2-3 as Myles cried out to God asking Him to please not leave me in this state. The Lord answered him that day and said the vision would be for an appointed time, though it tarry wait for it, slowly steadily surely the vision will be complete. After asking for a sign I received my swallow back as I had lost that as well. Over the years little by little my strength has come back! Unlike most quadriplegics I have full and normal sensation on my right side. I can now hold my head up without having it tied in place. I have limited movement in my right arm from the elbow to the wrist. I can move both of my legs from the knees down lifting them up, while I cannot stand yet or do any weight-bearing when I am in my wheelchair I have little bells I put around my ankle and I kick in time with the music praising my Savior! I know there is nothing too difficult for my God He could easily say the word and I would walk out and be made completely whole. But I believe the Lord is making me whole from the inside out. For the Word of God says, he wants us to prosper even as our soul prosperous, my paraphrase. Instead of complaining that I couldn't physically look after my children I look back at the blessing I had and the privilege, instead of having to cook and clean and hold down a full-time job as other mothers did, I was available for them whenever they needed me. I was there for them to come and sit and crawl up beside me and tell me about their day at school. I was there when they couldn't sleep that night and they would crawl in with me I would pray with them and they would fall asleep. I could lay there and watch over them knowing that the next day I would be able to rest while they were back at school again. I was able to develop a relationship with them that lingers today. Even though we read the Bible together and prayed they have chosen to go their own way for now. Yet they still stay close to me and they know that no matter what they do or say I will always love them and they can talk to me about anything. I have always kept the door open. I know that the seeds that were planted when they were young will burst forth when the time is right. In the meantime, I feel as David did in Psalm 62, "truly my soul silently waits for God; from Him comes my salvation. 2 He Is My Rock and My Salvation; He Is My Refuge; surely I shall not be greatly moved". David also was pressed in on all sides. Yet he knew that God had chosen him and had a plan for his life and he was waiting to see everything come to pass. Even though he was surrounded by enemies he kept his focus on the Lord! These
are the little secrets of silently waiting on God trusting and knowing
that He is in control of every detail of my life. I
too will silently wait for the fulfillment of all things to come to
pass in my life keep you in my eyes and heart totally focused on the
One who is my ultimate salvation! When
we look at things through His eyes we know everything is for our good!
