Staying In Bed

Well this my first whole day on bed rest and seeing as how yesterday i was totally bored and it is only 10am and i am already bored i think i may attempt to crochet something.  Being on bed rest is not really my thing, and i usually find a thousand things to do everyday and work myself till i can't stand and what's really funny is right now standing is a huge effort.  Sorry folks i am rambling a bit, but this is what happens when i am bored.  God has a plan for all of this even though i forget if He told me or not....wow maybe I do need more rest.
But i feel God constantly with me reminding me that He will restore my health and is comforting me. Today He brought me to Psalm 71:1-21


Psalm 71

Ps 71:1 In you, O LORD, I have taken refuge;   let me never be put to shame.
Ps 71:2 Rescue me and deliver me in your righteousness; turn your ear   to me and save me.
Ps 71:3 Be my rock of refuge, to which I can always go; give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.
Ps 71:4 Deliver  me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of evil and cruel men.  

Ps 71:5 For you have been my hope,  O Sovereign LORD, my confidence  since my youth.
Ps 71:6 From birth a  I have relied on you; you brought me forth from my mother’s womb.   I will ever praise  you.
Ps 71:7 I have become like a portent to many, but you are my strong refuge.
Ps 71:8 My mouth   is filled with your praise, declaring your splendor all day long.

Ps 71:9 Do not cast me away when I am old; i  do not forsake  me when my strength is gone.
Ps 71:10 For my enemies  speak against me; those who wait to kill  me conspire  together.
Ps 71:11 They say, “God has forsaken  him; pursue him and seize him, for no one will rescue  him.”
Ps 71:12 Be not far   from me, O God; come quickly, O my God, to help   me.
Ps 71:13 May my accusers   perish in shame;   may those who want to harm me be covered with scorn and disgrace.  

Ps 71:14 But as for me, I will always have hope;   I will praise you more and more.
Ps 71:15 My mouth will tell of your righteousness, of your salvation all day long, though I know not its measure.
Ps 71:16 I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, O Sovereign LORD; I will proclaim your righteousness, yours alone.
Ps 71:17 Since my youth, O God, you have taught   me, and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.  
Ps 71:18 Even when I am old and gray,  do not forsake me, O God, till I declare your power   to the next generation, your might to all who are to come.
Ps 71:19 Your righteousness reaches to the skies,   O God, you who have done great things.  Who, O God, is like you?
Ps 71:20 Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore   my life again; from the depths of the earth  you will again bring me up.
Ps 71:21 You will increase my honor   and comfort   me once again.


This road God has put me on is far from my comfort zone...I can't make myself snap out of this...I can't manipulate the situation to get better...i am not in control....for once in my life God has all the cards and i know that is just how it should be.  God wants to be the head of my life, and i have kept him as the co-pilot but that is where i should be. God is the head of my life and i will look to Him to lead me.  And having such a godly husband constantly keeps me looking to Christ.  I know i am in the right place but it is hard to stay here. Well as the bed is my main hang out place right now and i am working on watching every movie we own, i will look to Christ to make me what He wants me to be, and seek His comfort and His strength, because without Him i am nothing.
