Have I Been Conforming?

I want to return to this blog. I think about it often. I'm not sure how much I am willing to share here. I have started working the Celebrate Recovery program and I am experiencing growth that I was not anticipating. I thought that the four or so years of counseling I had gone through had brought me all of the healing I could expect. That was not a very God-size expectation.



I ran in a 15k (9.3 miles) yesterday that is to benefit the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies. My youngest child, Zachary, who is now four, spent a couple of days in the neonatal intensive care unit at Arnold Palmer Hospital (APH) after he was born. So now that I am back into running this year I have been looking forward to this event because of our history with APH.



While we were running through downtown I was looking up at the huge buildings and beautiful architecture. But I remembered that no matter what we think we accomplish, it cannot compare to God. We may build a 30+ story building, but God measured out the waters of the earth in His hands. I always find it helpful to remember that I arrived with nothing and I will depart with nothing. That would be a depressing, demoralizing and defeating belief if it were not for the author of life itself-the God who loves and provides for His children.
