I Can Make You Cringe

Last week, I was washing some dishes in the sink, and picked up a small knife.  I ran the sponge over the blade of the knife, and somehow, my thumb was lower than the sponge, and it ran right across the sharp blade.  It was a lot like a paper cut, except with a knife.  It hurt, it bled, and it healed.

This week, God is interrupting my life, cutting into my plans and my soul.  It reminds me that I don't know the plans He has for me, and they might be different than I thought.  But I see Him mysteriously leading to where I least and most expected, and all I can do is surrender the known and the unknown and praise Him.  It hurts, it bleeds, but mostly it is full of unexpected healing and wholeness.
