Blessing in Disguise

Hello everyone - I wanted to drop a quick line before lunch in ten minutes to update you on my fingers. I have nine blisters in random but inconvenient locations all over my hands (ex: I can't put my hair in a pony tail.... lol I had to have Rachel do my hair this morning), but the random bursts of pain have ceased so I'm good (as long as I don't burst a blister... lol). Burning my hands was a major blessing! Because my hands were burnt I was excused from the night and had an hour and a half to spend time alone with God out at the lake and relax. Both were things I DESPERATELY needed. I have been non-stop (even on the weekend) for the last two weeks and I was just so grateful for the burns to give me the break I wanted and needed so badly. I had a great time in Malachi! :) So if you are lifting me up in prayer this week, please join me in praising God for burnt hands! And remember to praise God for the disguised blessings in YOUR life. In Malachi 1:2 God reminds Israel that He loves them and in their stupidity they ask "How have you loved us?". O How many times we neglect to see the ways He loves us. God loves me - my blisters are joyous proof! :)
