Energy
by adustyframe ~ July 9th, 2008My brother and his wife spent the 4th of July holiday with us. We enjoyed visiting.
They took James to the waterpark. He always loves having a visit from his Uncle and Aunt.
We were sitting around one afternoon, and my sister in law said, “Hey Liz, you have more energy.”
We had seen them about 2 weeks before Lee was released when she graduated from college.
I asked, “Do you mean more than I did in May?”
She said, “Oh yeah. I can tell.”
I know that I feel better. I’m not 100%. I still get tired easily and overwhelmed easily. I don’t have the “oomph” that I used to have, but I do feel better.
I told her that the best way I can explain it is that everyday that Lee was in prison, I felt like I was coming down with the flu.
You know, achy, run down, weak, unable to do anything. I am amazed that God carried us through so well. The truth is that I could not do this on my own. Perhaps he allowed me to be so weak to prove that in no way was this me.
I heard a speaker one time say, “It’s all of God and it’s all of grace.”
All I can say to that is Amen.

I love pastors (we call them chaplains in the Army) that understand their job is so much more than getting up in the pulpit and preaching. I’ve spent many hours in my former chaplains office (we’ve since moved) and benefitted immensely from his wisdom and counsel.
