I love my macbook, I think it is the greatest laptop anyone can have, I really am convinced there is nothing better out there... no viruses and other "normal" problems.. nope, nothing going wrong here....just now as I plugged in the power cord, and, let's face it, this one is getting a little "old", I realized that the little red light indicating that the laptop is now charging was not turning on... had to wiggle it a little to make sure it was working.... if I don't move the laptop too much it will stay connected to the power source, otherwise, even though the plug is in the right spot, there is no power coming through and my laptop is not charging...
made me think of how I need to be plugged into my power source, otherwise I am loosing my energy and my abilities... become sluggish and rather useless... the plug can be in, but because I have wiggled around way too much the flow might not be coming through well enough... following up on yesterday's sermon I am thinking that this is exactly what has happened to me lately...
sometimes I am thinking I am charging my computer only to see the little icon on the top right corner saying: "not charging"... unfortunately humans do not have such an indicator...
I had taken my eyes off Him who is able to move mountains and fixed them on the mountain... I moved my focus and somehow, even though I was still believing the same things my indicator light was off.... no power coming through... I was reading my bible, I was praying, journalling and still... the attitude of my heart was not the right one. Feeling sorry for myself and upset and defeated... forgetting that with Him I indeed can RISE ABOVE the "unfairness" of what I see around me.
It hit me yesterday that no matter the circumstances here, after the 60, 70, 80 years we might have, eternity awaits and mine has been secured to be with my Saviour... in a place where there will be no more tears, no more disappointment, no more lies, betrayal and loneliness, but rather a love that we cannot even imagine since we only get a few little glimpses of it once in a while.... and not only that, but this relationship I have with Him is already allowing me to be courageous and strong, serving Him and being blessed in return... looking at a possible location for the Center in my church yesterday my heart welled up with excitement about the possibility of helping those that are without hope, overwhelmed and desperate.... what a privilege that is...... truth is, I needed to be made aware that I needed an attitude adjustment... needed to focus...
I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
Psalm 121
