The deafness! living for 7 out of 7.

It was a really long week. But one of a great glorious final moment, and it is about what will be at the end, not the struggle in the beginning. God made the earth in 6 and rested on the 7th. I like to think along that line when I go/ leave my job/work and have those moments of uncertainty.



So a MONDAY for me this week was one of great anxiety, certainly not Christ like. It did not take me long to realize Satan can find a pin hole in your flaws and create a crater or better yet the Yellow Stone National Park. My anxiety was just that from a scale of zero- to hundred and from a pin hole -to Yellow Stone. True enough we act like some things do not affect us, but you can't hide emotions from the devil he intends to make it public that is his goal, My anxiety over "was it the correct choice", was filled with all kinds of emotion but, uneasy is the base line. I viewed every item to see if letting someone go was what Christ would do, or was I wrong. God interevned and it did not even occur on Monday,giving me time to really think about details and choices. Reflecting upon Matthew 21:12-13 Cleansing the Temple , and Matthew 26:70-75

Now it's !

Tuesday came so quickly, I went into the approach of terminating an employee, to reflect was it what God would want after reading the previous verses it was simple. Termination made with a more settled heart and by Wednesday no anxiety over a "choice".

Life is pretty good when you can live for 3 out of 7 and reflect God. But come on he wants it all and so my week continues.

Thursday getting past a lot of emotions at our office was meet by the grace of GOD "deafness"
One could alway's say 'I did not hear that" but we had a patient whom required a sign interpertuer, because he really could not hear. I was most amazed by his presence and the ease he strolled into our office with. Reading our letters of communication with him ,awaiting the signer to translate his medical complaints. He sat and completed all paper work simply by reading the directions. Most impressive if you ever see our medical history questionaire, it would be a clear picture of "they must want access to my trust fund rights, by all the question's we require". Translator arrives and she begins to sign for the patient "they both laugh and smile"
You see they had met brief before in the deaf community functions,but were both at a function the night before his appointment. Of course neither aware they would be seeing each other the next morning. Our staff was all captured at his accomplishments and the ability to sign and hear without the sense of hearing, (health care in a glorious God moment was much needed). A very cool man! A very evident circle of life. I love My God and Thursday in this moment I SO LOVE MY JOB,in that moment I relish the ability to communicate and learn sign language. Yet I also realize GOD HAS BEEN GIVING ME HIS OWN SIGNS AND I CHOOSE TO TURN MY OWN EAR. Not a healthy choice for someone whom is seeking to grow in Christ.

Finally it is Friday!!!!

Some really good ideas keep me looking forward to improving my job, all for the glory of GOD.
But, my first focus is home and I am leaving early to spend some time with my husband even an extra 1 &1/2 getting home early is important. All will be here on Monday. In this choice I realize
I am ok to want the best for my co-workers and seek the best in health care. However, God gave me a sign and I listened this morning "a healthy marriage requires time,a good manager requires a peaceful heart. I will find the balance this will make 5 out of 7 . It is all good under his power.

Saturday
I spent some much needed time just resting, fatigue hit me hard and I came home fell asleep, Friday. My husband so grasciously let me sleep. Now rested spending time with him is easy. I realize you must balance your time, for it was obvious time was the element needed. 13 hours of un-interupted sleep. This is something God gave us and some don't seem to get the fact " Rest was in his plan" After this many hours of sleep "I gotcha God". God first I am your daughter,then I am a wife under your leadership, a mom under your authority, seeking to desciple others along the path with me. Wow he is so remarkable. 6 out of 7 living until he shows me more.

My Sunday.

A ridicuously awesome day at church followed by a very peaceful day with "RAIN". He sent that my way to remind ME of "HE CREATED EVERY THING AND WE ALL ENCOUNTER THINGS/THOUGHTS /FEELINGS' But, you must realize you get the signs to fix this just listen and you will then and only then have the full ability to live for 7 out of 7.

There is great power in the number 7. HOLY! HOLY!
