Sometimes the reality of a person’s circumstances may cause one to cry out as the psalmist…
“How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
How long must I wrestle with my thoughts…”
Psalm 13:1-2a
Irene had a mixed day…feeling emotionally “up” for some portion of the day and emoting with weariness for other parts of the day. She was ambitious early working in the yard and enjoying the fresh air; within an hour she was fatigued and nauseated.
Shirley Churchill spent about 2 hours with Irene this afternoon working on physiology techniques designed to energize her and wake up the kidneys. Irene later worked in the yard again, thoroughly appreciating the smell of clean soil.
Later in the day Irene did feel good enough to dine at the Little Tampico Restaurant.
Graham Scroggie affirmed, “There are great days, days of decisive battles, days of crisis in spiritual history, days of triumph in Christian service, days of the right hand of God upon us. But there are also idle days, days apparently useless, when even our prayer and holy service seem a burden. Are we, in any sense, renewed in these days? Yes, for any experience which makes us more aware of our need of God must contribute to spiritual progress…”
As Irene endeavors to walk faithfully through each day, some days are more physically and emotionally challenging than others. She is comforted, however, knowing that Almighty God is with her and in her to strengthen and encourage her…and who personally renews her as she becomes more intimately aware of her need for Him.
