Love Them Like Jesus

I had a situation come up yesterday

that was frustrating.

Sometimes I just want people to act the way I think they should.

The way that would make the most sense.

The way that would be best for someone else

instead of themselves.

It was frustrating.

I was upset.

Frustrated.

Annoyed.
Yeah, I know,
not pretty.

This morning,

I was on my way to pick up Sir Cuteness

and put my phone on shuffle,

and as God often does,

it was one song after another

of just what I needed to hear,

and then.....

Love them like Jesus,

by Casting Crowns,

came on,

and as soon as it started

my heart started to stir.

My Spirit being moved by my God

to.....

Love them like Jesus,

Carry Them to Him,

His yoke is easy,

His burden is light.

You don't need the answers 

to all of life's questions

Just know that He loves them

&

stay by their side,

Love them like Jesus.

Tears welled up in my eyes

&

my heart

as the Father so lovingly reminded me

what my job is.....

To Love Them

Like

Jesus.

That's it.

Don't offer my opinion.

Don't tell them the best way to do things.

Don't get frustrated with them 

&

do damage with my words.

Love them.

Like Jesus.

Every time.

Let Him lead me.

Let Him guide me.

This is a lesson I am learning 

in so many areas in my life.

Areas that are just so far outside my realm

of control.

Areas that I need to learn to let go.

Areas that need me to be Jesus' hand extended

no matter how I feel.

I want to carry them to Him

for

His yoke is easy

His burden is light.

I don't have to have all the answers to life's questions

(AMEN & AMEN)

I just need to know that He Love's them
(which He does, even more than I do)

&

just stay by them

& 

most importantly.....

Love 

Them

Like
Jesus.

6 Week Post Surgery Update

WOW!

Yesterday was 6 weeks since my latest surgery.

I had Anterior Cervical Dysectomy with Fusion.

I am feeling better,

and healing.

My scar is looking better.

The doctor is pleased with my process.

My voice is finally back.

I still can't sing much yet,

but I am so glad not to be squeaking.

=)

The biggest issue I am having right now

is back spasms.

They come on quick,

and quickly kick my booty!!

Last Friday I was out with G and Sir Cuteness,

and I had one come on quick.

By the time I got to the truck,

I could barely walk upright.

G knew instantly that something was wrong.

She said, "Muscle Spasms?"

to which I said yes and climbed in and put my seat back.

My dear Sir Cuteness was in his car seat,

and reached over to me and said 

"Grandma, I'm gonna pray for you."

So he reached over and put his little arm on my elbow,

he put his head down and said a prayer,

and immediately my pain was better.

Like way....way....better!!!!!

I felt so good that we even made one more stop on the way home.

My dear Sir Cuteness is 4.

4!

Yes the faith of a child.

They could solve world peace I tell you,

and do it all with faith!!

The reason I am having these spasms

is because my spine

is actually responding to my surgery

by realigning itself.

Is that not crazy??!!!

The body is so incredible!!!!!

God is AMAZING!!!!!

The x-rays before and after surgery are truly astounding!!

So that is why they keep happening,

but man,

will I be glad when things are on a more 

"normal"

scale =)

On another note,

I had some blood work 

done the other day,

and my white cell count is low.

Again.

So they ran some more tests.

Things look pretty good.

Which I am so thankful for,

so they will repeat blood work on the 1st,

and if my white cell count is still low,

then they are gonna send me to a

hematologist.

I'll keep ya posted.

Thank you for caring about me.

Truly.

Have a Blessed and Beautiful Day ~~
