Call Can Be Completed

"Your call can't be completed as dialed. Please check the number and try again."

Over the last three weeks or so when anyone trys to call my cell or Barry's cell this is what they might hear. Every now and then someone gets through, but only after a dozen times or so. What a pain in the butt for anyone trying to reach us.

I think my spiritual life has been a little bit like this over the last couple of weeks or so. You know, God calling and getting a message something like that. Fortunately, for my sake He’s pretty persistent. I’ve been so overly involved in our move and all of the inconsequential things that I have no control over, I’ve had tunnel vision. My vision has certainly not been on God. Isn’t it interesting how from one week, day, or even second we are listening and looking for God and then without blinking an eye we forget who He is or even that He’s there. A few weeks ago I blogged about how good God was and since then seem to have lost sight of that.

I'm truly thankful that I have a God who doesn’t stop calling and will continue to pursue until I stop to listen. Today my God finally got through. His word came in a tender way, through the prayers and words of others. I’m reminded that I have a God in control who loves and cares for me beyond anything I could ever imagine.

A scripture from a friend: Lamentations 3:22-24 (The Message)

God’s loyal love couldn’t have run out,
His merciful love couldn’t have dried up.
They’re created new every morning.
How great your faithfulness!
I’m sticking with God (I say it over and over).
He’s all I’ve got left.
