E118-God's Clock

“God's clock ... directs me, minute by minute, to put one foot in front of the other.”

When you get filled up with soul pain from experiences such as the passing of Loved ones and other life changing events, you begin to discover that life was meant to be lived in day tight compartments.

When Loved ones pass away or someone experiences a divorce or some type of breakup, it feels like you are in a “season of grief” because it is life altering. Times such as the aforementioned, are moments when it teaches us automatically just to learn to take one hour at a time and put one foot in front of the other.
The more experience you have with something, the easier it is to either fall in Love with it or “outgrow” it altogether. I had a lot of experience with planning things, and I just totally outgrew it. One direct reason I outgrew planning things was because of the sudden death of my second oldest daughter, Brenda. The next reason, was because of the death of my husband, Philip (P.F.) Minton, after suffering for fifteen months with cancer. The last reason, was because after all of the pain from the passing of Brenda and P.F., I realized that it had always been God and me.
It took these deaths to make me realize that no matter what, “it was and has always been about God and me.” That is the reality for everyone. No one can live your life or walk in your shoes, no matter how hard they try.
My daughter, Billie, had P.F.'s shoes covered in pewter after he passed away. They have been on her fireplace since he passed away, September 17, 1997.

Often times, we all want to blame someone else for something that has gone wrong in our lives, and give ourselves the credit when things go right. The fact of the matter is, that no matter what, “it is about God and you, now and for eternity.”
Do you feel that learning to live in day tight compartments will prove to be an enrichment in your life?

Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.
