I have several posts I want to share about lessons I learned that gave me the faith I needed to completely turn my "problems" over to Jesus.
I'm the last of 6. There are 7 years between me and my next older sister. My mom knew I was going to be her last baby, so she babied me. Honestly, I loved it! Growing up, my mom was my everything. We had and still have a very close and personal relationship. What a blessing to grow up knowing that anything I ever "needed" my mom would provide. As I grew, she became my rock for instruction and inspiration in each of my life stages.
That all changed one morning with a call from my brother Frank. "Dicky Bird, they took mom to the hospital, we think she had a stroke." I hung up the phone and fell to my knees. "Jesus, it is your fault you gave me such a good mom that I never really needed you....but, I need you now, don't let my mom die." Pretty honest and raw right - that's me - that is how I talk. When you read my blog, you might not know that about me.
Now, I know, as a blogger, "we" put our most creative and best self on here. However, in order for me to share these stories with you, I must show you how I was "broken" so that I could learn to let Jesus be my everything.
Lesson 1: Learning to NEED Jesus.
"But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Phillipians 4:19
