the ruminations of aaron eberline

“And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.” Colossians 3:17

What a thought for life. I have been sulking over my life lately. I have been down, grumpy, and full of apathy. I have not really cared about anything. It is an impossible cycle for me to break. I can only leave this state of mind when God allows it. I was faced with a choice tonight. I could openly sin before God or I could read my Bible. I’ll be honest that sinning sounded like the best choice and the most enjoyable at the moment. Yet by the grace of God I choose to seek Him. I read through Colossians and was rewarded with Living water which my parched spirit needed.

It is interesting how EVERY SINGLE THING in life is of great importance to God. Last night I helped a friend take apart his powerbook to replace his cd drive. Well we were joking about how we were destroying his laptop and laughing when I jokingly said we should pray. That is when I realized that it is no joking matter to call upon God in everything that we do. We did pray that we would be able to take apart the computer and reassemble it and have it work. Well after hours of working and a broken wire everything did get put back together. We were amazed that his laptop worked again. I know that God helped us work through all the stress. I guess God is showing me how in every area of my life He wants involvement.

On another note I am in full swing in recovery from my surgery. I have started physical therapy this week. I have new footwear being created. Next month i see a neurologist at the Medical College of Wisconsin to look at my nerve disorder. So I am busy and starting to get out of the house more. I am eager for this month to pass because within 3-4 weeks, by the grace of God, I will be bearing full weight on my left foot again. So that is all of my life in a nutshell.
