Small things

This past Wednesday afternoon, I was stung by a wasp on my right leg, it seemed to do ok. But by Thursday night I went to the emergency room , because my leg was swollen, fevered and very painful. I had cellulitus, a bacterial infection of the skin from the wasp sting. This can be very serious especially in diabetics. Praise the Lord I am doing better naow. Also as you know I was recently diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. I am now on metformin and with modifying my diet, increasing exercise and losing weight, things seem to be getting better. The doc said we needed to get my body to stop working against itself. This made me think, how this whole situation with my leg started because of the bacteria on the wasp that stung me. That bacteria got into my skin from the puncture wound and then I was in a world of hurt. It is amazing to me how something so small can cause so much trouble, but isn't that the way of sin? Just one small little insignificant sin, say pride, is the the spirit as the bacteria was to my leg. Constantly, I am having to drop my sin at the foot of the Cross,I thank God that He is faithful to forgive and redeem.
We are preparing to go the "Renewing the Family Camp" in beautiful Glorietta NM this next week. This is something we look forward to every year and is the one vacation we make sure to take. This is our third year and we have been blessed beyond any expectations, Five glorious days of fellowship, love and worshiping the Lord.
I am so grateful that all my hope is in Jesus, without Him I could not handle any of what life hands me. I am weak and fragile, He is the strong, and unbreakable. What amazes me is that He loves me.
