THE TURTLE

Sometimes, I think when we won't slow down on our own,
God will slow us down His way! I have been going and going now, for quite awhile, and David has been reminding me to slow down, or I will pay the consequences. I'm kinda hard
headed as most of you know, so when I got so sick early on Wednesday morning, at 2 am, I wondered where in the worldI had contracted this bug. I've been so careful to wash my hands
when out and about, so I couldn't figure what happened.Then, this kinda dawned on me. I think God maybe allowed this to happened to me, so I would have to just stop and not dash
off to this Bible study(which He knew I wanted to go to) and to choir on Thursday night, because I had no strength He simply said "No, Becky!"" Be still and know that I am God!"
One of my Mom's said that God created turtles to remind us to slow down, and He gave us ants, to remind us of the littlethings. He created the sky so that we would look up and pray,and He created all of you to remind someone of how beautiful you are in His sight and how beautiful friends can be.
Yes, He got my attention, and I'm slowing down!This week, I have been made to be a turtle. I can be an ant when I remind myself that this week, was just one small miniscule amount
of time in God's universe. I will look towards the sky, or the hills,from whence cometh my help, for my help cometh from the Lord,who made Heaven and earth!
However, I think I can stand maybe one more day of being a turtle
and then I will be ready to be Becky again!(lol)
