well, i've been pretty lazy today. i missed the partners' meeting this morning because i forgot to set my alarm clock to the right time. i have an appointment in the morning at 7am so i hope i remember to set it back tonight. so i woke up late and didn't have time to exercise. then i got off late and i am on call and had to see 2 emergencies after that. so when i got home i really didn't feel like doing any upper body. actually, i was listening to my new elk calling cd in the truck in my driveway and fell asleep in the truck for a few minutes. then i came upstairs and was listening to the same cd and took a little nap. so now i hope i don't get any emergency calls so i can get some sleep tonight and be up and ready for my early appointment.
tomorrow is a big day. i have to work from 7-12 then start putting cages together for the new clinic. hopefully that will only take a few hours. then i have the 6 mile run. i am looking forward to the run but a little nervous too since my 3 mile run yesterday was so tough. i am sure i will make it through.
The thought of the day is this: it is from a biography about Hudson Taylor, the first missionary to inland China, "his experience had taught him that whenever he made any sacrifice for God, his compensation was so full and overwhelming that 'giving up' seemed more like receiving." And i think this is so true. if you are in need, try giving something up. you will get back more than you gave and probably more than you need. Hudson Taylor said "I find increasing comfort in the thought that all things are really in the Father's hand and under His governance. He cannot do but what is best." (emphasis mine)
If we keep that thought in mind ,how can we ever fear, how can we ever worry, how can we ever do anything but give full control to God?
If you haven't read the biography of Hudson Taylor i challenge you to do so.
