PRAYER WORKS!!!!

The Aggies WON!

MC 1's arm looks much better!

THE AGGIES WON!

IN AUSTIN!

AND ARE STILL RANKED!

Seriously, MC 1's arm looks 100 times better.

Now to reign in the what if thoughts.

Wishing the doc had never mentioned the words "heart valves".

I was thinking about my Wounded post the other day.

Worrying that in my moment of honesty,

someone might think that Jesus somehow failed me,

and would fail them.

Worried that the misconception

(one we Christians have often perpetuated),

that life is all roses with Jesus and

no trouble ever comes our way,

might win over the saving grace of Christ.

Life is not all roses.

Trouble comes to us all.

ALL.

The difference is that with Christ and in Christ,

I have someone to lay my troubles on who can actually do something about them.

I have someone who can handle my "wounded"ness and work with it.

I have the One who can heal those wounds and if nothing else,

can change me,

which is worth it all.

So please,

if that was even a thought that ran through your head,

that somehow Jesus has failed me because I hurt,

throw it out.

It is a lie of the devil himself.

The failure would be to not have Jesus.

Then my wounds would gape openly.

Would get infected.

Would never heal.

Christ knows what it is to be wounded.

He chose to be wounded for you and for me.

He also knows what it is to make and be made whole again.

He has not failed me.

He will not fail me.

Same goes for you.

Whatever you have going on,

whether you know Jesus as your Savior or not,

you can today choose Him.
