Becoming a Butterfly

Ever been through so much…you felt like the weight of the world was on you? 

This week I have read a couple of blogs that made my heart heavy.  Buddies with so much to carry…such a heavy load.  People REALLY going through so much pain and suffering.  Having to keep the faith as they face the impossible.  

I just feel so helpless…and heavy with love for these dear buddies!  What can I  say or do to make any kind of difference?  

I got together with a sister here on the site and we began to seek God…on behalf of one of these dear ones…and the Lord met us.  In our reaching out to love on someone else, God met us there!  We connected even though we are states apart.  In the Spirit, there is no time or space.  We both marveled at that…His good pleasure.

It was amazing…to feel His presence…and His love over an instant messaging program. 

God is so real, and He inhabits the praises of His people.  He says where two or more are gathered, there I am in their midst.  He just loves it when we get together to pray!  It blesses Him…to see us love others…like Jesus loves us.  The Word says that Jesus lives to make intercession for us.  That basically means, He lives to pray for us.   That is love!

I started to blog about eating soup and spaghetti squash, but now it just seems so trivial to talk about what I ate, or how fast I ran when I know so many are hurting and suffering.  I know this is a weight loss site, but right now…I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders, because people I care about are going through some very hard things.  I am going to go and lose some weight…by giving it all to the One that I know can handle it.

Remember to keep it all in perspective.  We are blessed beyond measure…
