The Sick Man Inside Me

Good Morning!

Last night as I was trying to go to sleep,   I was wondering what to write this morning and I had an interesting thought about healing.

My household has been crazy sick.  Each of us has been down with Strep, Bronchitis, fevers, coughing, and now Nicholas was diagnosed with Pneumonia.  The toll on our house is astounding.  We have missed church, canceled classes, come home early from work on several occasions, and I haven't even started on the Dr. bills, medicine, and over the counter meds.  I'm tired.  Both the kids and I have missed school, and I am behind in my homework.

The worst part, though is that I was thinking about how long it has been since we have spent time with any of our friends and family.  It's been TWO MONTHS.  So for those of you who are thinking, "Wow, where has Kevin been" - now you know.  I have not invited anyone over, or gone to anywhere since the trip to Kansas.

So as I drifted off to sleep, I was impressed with the feeling that this is what Sin is like in our life.  It wears a person down.  It keeps a person from hanging out with the people you really want to hang out with.  It zaps your energy and leaves you dragging. 

Today, as we pray for healing of our body, remember our friends that do not know salvation.  There is a sick man inside us that need the power of God to be healed. 

I am praying for you TODAY! 
I am praying for your friends and family!
I am praying for that sick man inside us that you will be healed and know the salvation of God!

well Kevin, I kind of understand little teeny bit what you guys have been going through, with Kallie and I sick this week. We are the easy ones though. When the guys get sick… It's hard on everybody! I don't know why that happens. Carvel's my hero, she is a real trooper. Is so hard to have little kids sick and at the same time… Wow. And now a new baby :)
going to be fun to see what happens. I agree with your comment about sickness and sin. being sick kept me from "God stuff" this week. I did not like the way I felt. Finally got the AHA moment this morning. thank God!
