I drove today during my kids' nap to see my Grandpa and Kay in Arkansas, so I knew my appointment with Him would be re-scheduled for tonight sometime. I was starting to get ancy as to when it was going to happen and was literally pacing eagerly to be at His feet, so after I put Gracie down, I intended to get it in, while Sam watched Charlie Brown's Great Pumpkin in the sun room. I left my Bible in the room where Gracie was and so I searched frantically for a Bible in the room, but was out of luck. That was frustrating, but it was my fault obviously. So instead I spent some time in prayer thanking God for protecting us on the road and allowing my children to get to spend some time with their great grandpa and grandma
Well Gracie woke up 5 min in and I ended up having to lay down with both of my stinkers to get them to go to sleep. Unfortunately that meant mama fell asleep too so here I sit once again, near midnight desiring to be with You Lord.
We've been focusing on the Easter story at church and in Life Group so I think I will park there for a bit where we studied this week...
Didn't get past first line. It was enough to bring tears to my eyes and go to Him in prayer.
Luke 22:7 reads..."Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover Lamb had to be sacrificed."
I have passed over that line many times, but never truly saw it until now. Thank you Lord for sacrificing your Son for me and for Him going through with the plan to die a terrible death and most significantly, be separated from You. I can't grasp that act of love and why you love me so much and I am sorry if my days do not properly honor what You did for me, but know that I am forever grateful to You for providing a way for me to be with You forever.
That's a nice way to head to bed.
