Jesus Without the Bling

Today I woke up early this morning with the worse case of nausea and feeling like I had the flew. Which just seemed weird, because when I went to bed the last night I felt well and strong.

By the grace of God my first response was to pray and ask God for healing. Then I followed by taking some of the pink stuff that settles stomachs only for me it almost never does anything only this time within 10 minutes I was feeling much better and within 30 minutes I felt back to normal.

Then for several hours through about 1:00 p.m. I felt well again and my son and I had a nice lunch at a seafood buffet.

Following that I decided to do so Christmas shopping or actually Birth shopping for my mother who turns 83-years-old on the 20th of December. She is a chocoholic and her favorite Chocolate is Sees Nuts and Chews. However, before arriving at Sees I started feeling sick again and so far I have remained in that state till now.

As I write this I have to admit I been trying to come up with some good application to relationship with Jesus. There are a couple things I think about one that all relationships are dynamic just like whatever it is I am experiencing today. They have moments that feel exception and moments that are just normal and sometimes moments that feel out right yucky like I'm feeling at the moment.

If we are caught up in religion and not walking in simple relationship with Father all these dynamics can result in a roller coaster of feeling like Father is pleased with us when we feel exceptional, to our prayers just hitting the sealing at others, and feeling like we are guilty sometimes of something we are not even aware and therefore what we feel is the result of being outside Father's favor.

However Father's always loves us completely and perfectly even though we are far from perfect and regardless how we feel or are performing.
