Ginny - M2C day 40

Good Morning Girlz!!!!  Yes, it's 5:54 in the morning!!!  I have been awake all night.  I got a little sleep from 4-5, but that is it.  Yesterday I got a horrible headache that quickly turned to dizziness.  I made it through work came home and slept for 1 1/2 hours, ran, ate supper, and then proceeded to toss and turn all night.  My eyebrow has also been twitching for 2 weeks - so go figure!  Anyhow, in light of all that I figured I'd go ahead and blog.  Please pray my headache goes away, my eyebrow stops twitching, that I don't fall asleep at work today, or if I do that I at least don't drool.

Any fun weekend plans for anyone?  I am in a wedding tomorrow and I would actually really appreciate some prayers in its regards.  I'll save y'all all the lengthy details, but prayers would be great!  THANK YOU!!!! 

S - For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight.  Ephesians 1:4

O - I will never get over the fact that He chose us.  He loved us that much. 

A - In the thought of the day Lysa said something that jumped out at me, "But trying our security, joy, and identity to God's love is an anchor we can cling to no matter what our circumstances may be."  Last summer was a horrible summer for me.  It all revolved around a guy and the drama that spilled over into work.  (I did not participate in the drama at work, but others were involved.)  Anyhow to say it was a hard summer is an understatement.  God gave me the verse that says, "cling to me."  I can't remember where it is found right now and if I wasn't so dizzy I would try to lower my head and pick up my Bible and find it.  I remember day after day saying over and over to myself, "Cling to Him.  Cling to Him.  Cling to Him."  It was all I could do.  I was so distraught and emotionally upset that I couldn't make any decisions, I didn't know what to do, I didn't know what to say.  All I could do was cling, and the amazing thing is...that's all He wanted me to do.  Just cling.  One of the hardest things about last summer is that the other ladies in my office would get together at the front of our department and just talk, talk, talk and go on and on about all this.  I would sit at my desk, trying to ignore them and just do my own thing, and say over and over to myself, "Cling to Him.  Cling to Him."  Well, it's been a year & the drama has ceased.  Things are very different now.  Yesterday they were all up there again chattin it up, and I just stopped and thought to myself I know they aren't talking about all that summer drama from last year.  How good it felt to put a mark under God's side.  He got me through (and trust me there were days I wasn't sure I'd make it) but I clung to Him and He brought me through that.  So I tell that long story #1 to say thank You Jesus!, but also to be honest and say I've had happiness wrapped up in people, as well as food, as well as finances, as well as skinny legs and on and on and on.  They only place we find that security, joy, and identity is in our Savior who is waiting on us to cling to Him.  He'll take us through it.  He'll get us there.  Not always easy, but it will be O.K.  All we have to do is cling.

P - Lord I pray that I always find my security, joy, and identity in You.  No one or anything else.  Thank You for loving me and carrying me through.

update*  Aunt Lynn is still with us, but she is not doing good.  She is totally gone mentally and doesn't say anything anymore.  She is having trouble breathing too.  Our prayer is that the Lord would be merciful and take her.  That she would closer her eyes and be in His presence soon.  Yesterday was especially hard on everyone.  Thank y'all girls for praying.  It means the world to me.  Love you all lots and lots and lots!!!
