So with that I will go back on track with a new number and go to
Joshua 2:11New International Version (NIV)
11 When we heard of it, our hearts melted in fear and everyone’s courage failed because of you, for the Lord your God is God in heaven above and on the earth below.
So this is in the story of Rahab- I love this story- another great example of how God uses us where we are. Rahab was a prostitute and was used by God to break down the walls of Jericho. I always felt that this is one of the divine intervention right place right time stories. How the lines of our life fall into place for the purpose of Gods use to shine His light all around.
People come and go in our lives. Some are here for a while and some are here for a lifetime. I have never been the type of person to have many friends. I have lots of acquaintances but when it comes to people that I trust 100% with everything that I have and everything that I am the number drops to about 4. Is this normal?? Is it natural to only trust so few people. Goes to show a testament to my history of how I have been hurt so much in the past. I wouldn't trade my hurt for anything however, I would live it all again if it meant that I got to be where I am now.
I may have days that I can't seem to get it together and just want to take to my bed but in the end it will be one of those four people that help pull me from my rut and make it all better for me to see that it isn't all bad. Ok maybe six people. But still that number is small compared to the number of people that I know.
So I am needing a little inspiration this morning and made a new side by side so here it is.
It is amazing to see how far I have come and how I don't even recognize that person on the left. Just like the other day at Goodwill when I saw my cousin- she didn't know who I was either. Still wrapping my head around it all. Hoping that one day my brain will catch up!
