I haven't been
MYSELF
lately.
I miss waking up early.
I miss running with the sunrise.
I miss not coughing.
I miss not laying on the couch.
I miss not feeling good.
I miss not thinking straight.
I miss
ME~
but
ME
hasn't gone anywhere.
A flu bug has invaded my body
& I can't do anything about it
but
BE STILL~
yet
STILLNESS & JONI
is not a good pair
because it is a reminder
that I am not in control.
So who do I really miss right now~
JESUS!
Yup I am a
JESUS nerd.
I love hanging out with HIM.
I love reading about HIM
I love when I so connected to HIM
that it is HIM who I see in all things.
Well lately,
because I haven't been feeling like
MYSELF
I have been so focused on
ME
that I have forgotten about
JESUS~
the One who has been waiting for me
to take my eyes off of
"woe is me"
& to put them on
HIM
Who hasn't gone anywhere
because
JESUS is here to stay.
And all
HE wants to do is
Walk with me & Walk with you
so that
HE can do everyday life with us~
whether we are feeling 100% or 20%
or feeling nothing at all.
I miss
MYSELF
because my best self
is when I am with
JESUS~
no matter what I am feeling
because
HE feels the same about me & the same about you
no matter what we may be feeling about ourselves.
and all
HE
wants is to do is bring out our best self
because
"WHEN I'M WITH YOU"~
"I feel the real me finally breaking through" (Citizen Way)~
