I’ve wanted to say something but I haven’t known what to say or how to say it. Then last week my husband put this on his facebook page: Thu, 19 May 2016 01:00:00 -0400 2023-12-28T23:53:50-05:00 https://www.ibelieve.com/health-beauty/how-do-you-live-well-when-the-life-youre-living-isnt-the-one-you-expected.html https://www.ibelieve.com/health-beauty/how-do-you-live-well-when-the-life-youre-living-isnt-the-one-you-expected.html Wendy van Eyck https://www.ibelieve.com/author/wendy-van-eyck/ There are bible verses that we hear so often they begin to sound more like a cliché’s then promises that can change how we face everything.

There have been a lot more “rest days” than the one the plan allows for so far. On Saturday I found myself reading Day 5 and Day 6. But I’ve been reading the bible, which is more than I’d done for the rest of the year. So I'm not beating myself up about not sticking perfectly to the plan.

This might surprise you since I write a blog called, I Love Devotionals. I even contributed six devotionals to The NIV Bible for Women.

But have we ever been afraid of not having you?

Prodding me. Sticking his big God finger into my heart and poking around till I paid attention. But I was more concerned about making sure the conversation didn’t turn into an argument.

I want companions to stare at unfamiliar boards in train stations and try to figure out which platform we might have be on. I want to laugh with people when we realize that we’re on a bus going the wrong direction. And I want to sit in restaurants and tell the waiter to bring bowls of food that I don’t recognize to our table.
