I hate being sick

Saturday, December 02, 2006
I have been sick this week. It keeps getting better and then worse. Then again so has everything else for me lately. Especially my faith and my walk. I worked through a very hard chapter and saw how many idols and god replacements I have in my life. They all hit hard and all at once. They overwhelmed me. And for this week I have been giving up that life in which I was seeking, to return to many old ways and wallow in it. It's just too much for me I feel. That and being sick sucks.

How can I go onward if these idols and replacements are in my life? Doesn't that make me a double agent? Playing both sides? But the dreams I have had lately tells me otherwise. It seems that I still desire that life with a godly path.

The next part of the book deals with the cross. This is where things start to turn around I guess. This is the hard part of it all. How?

I've seen better days, too.

Sorry you've been sick -- I'll be praying for you. My allergies keep acting up.

    Thy way, not mine, O lord


    Thy way, not mine, O Lord,
    However dark it be;
    Lead me by Thine own hand,
    Choose out the path for me.

    Smooth let it be or rough,
    It will be still the best;
    Winding or straight, it leads
    Right onward to Thy rest.

    I dare not choose my lot;
    I would not, if I might;
    Choose Thou for me, my God,
    So I shall walk aright.

    Take Thou my cup, and it
    With joy or sorrow fill,
    As best to Thee may seem;
    Choose Thou my good and ill.

    Choose Thou for me my friends,
    My sickness or my health;
    Choose Thou my cares for me
    My poverty or wealth.

    The kingdom that I seek
    Is Thine: so let the way
    That leads to it be Thine,
    Else I must surely stray.

    Not mine, not mine the choice
    In things or great or small;
    Be Thou my Guide, my Strength
    My Wisdom, and my All.

    ~Horatius Bonar
