Hmm…I have been absent from the blog for such a long time, it’s almost like I ought to introduce myself again
. I am one of the more reclusive ones of The Willi (ahem, Nate,) but it was not for that reason which brought my posting to a standstill.
Of course I was busy (and still am) with lovely heaps of sewing projects (*sighs in rapture*). Once our CD was recorded in December, I foolishly set out in my mind everything I was to do in the next months, what I was going to get done, completely skipping over James 4:13-14. Well, God had other plans, much to my dismay at times.
I suffered a bout of fatigue that lasted for three months. I needed a nap everyday to function, and even then dragged on like a sloth on sedatives. The fact that I couldn’t do what I knew had to get done was tragic to my busy-bee nature.
But stripped of my natural pride in accomplishments (and in a whole lot of other things) God revealed to me true dependence on Him in such a powerful way. I am so grateful for what He has done! I am so glad for the prayer during my rest times, the dwelling on His Word, and yes even the “bleh” days and tears, for it caused me to cry out all the more for Him to be my strength. May He receive all the glory and praise!
A little over a week ago, my strength and energy returned, praise God! My family is constantly saying to me, “It sure is nice to see you back,”, “Wow, like last month you would been wiped out after that…” and “You look like the Angie that I remember!”
I thank God for healing, and the things He has taught me! And I want to say thank you to my family, who were so considerate of my health, and wouldn’t let me do too much, even against my will. I love all you guys so much.
I hope this has encouraged you, as it has encouraged me just writing it down! God bless you’all!
-A very thankful Angie
