No pictures this time, but believe me I've got some good ones. Expect some soon.
Right now is my Passover Project update. 1 Corinthians 10:31 says whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of G-d. This verse brings me comfort. I'm excited for Passover, although my food sign up list got out a little too late I think it's going to be a good meal. I've come to the realization that the L-rd gave me the part of His heart that enjoys good food. In all honesty, I know it's part of His heart. I know He rejoices in the fact that I want to honor Him in a celebration where we will enjoy really good food. We're going to do this one with excellence. I've been praying for it, a lot actually. I'm ready to do this one for the glory of G-d.
It's been a busy few days. I worked 3 in a row and I was a good nurse. I gave those kids, and those families the best care I know how. Although it probably wasn't as good as someone who has been an ICU nurse for 5 years, it was the best care I know how. And in 5 years, even 5 days that care is going to be even better. I did it for the glory of G-d. I know I made a difference. I love my job.
I'm still strong on the working out, it feels good to start to care about my body, it is the temple of the Holy Spirit you know? I want to treat it right. I want to give Him glory with how I treat this gift He gave me.
I still have a pile of clothes in my room to put away, but it's ok, it's not Passover yet. So I'm off work until the Tuesday after and I'm going to get some serious work done. You can expect a post Passover report that my car and bathroom are clean, my clothes are neatly put away with a tidy room to prove it. I'm going to do it for the glory of G-d.
I forgot till tonight that I was asking Him to clean me out...somehow when the dust rises I forget I asked for it. I remember now, I'm going to let him keep cleaning me. Sometimes it gets messier before it gets better.
Wow, you are really going at it, lady!
ReplyDeleteWay to go. Way to prepare in the anticipation for the celebration- it's like you're cleaning out a space for him to come. It's like when Solomon built the temple the L-rd didn't fill it with His presence until it was all finished. Your body is a temple, your home can be a temple, so, in a way...
what a blessing it is for those parents and kids to have you as a nurse. way to give it your 100% that was a big thing I took away from breakthrough that my 100% is the 100% I can give depending on where I am in my life at that moment not necessarily perfection.

Thank you for sharing your Passover journey. I think your thoughts reach inside me and echo around and make good movements in there. I bless the Lord for the journey He has you in during this season
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Jess. You are journeying into new places of who G-d made you to be, and it's beautiful. Things do get messy when He works on us but we can be sure He loves us as we get dirty. And He is faithful to clean us up. I would say that the Seder was a success in large part because you did it for the glory of G-d. I love you.
ReplyDeleteI am convinced your 100% is like 140%; it's pretty impressive.
