Diving Deeper – Missing in Action

Greetings Dear Reader,

I must apologize for dropping away for the last five days.  Last Tuesday evening I came down with a fever and slept for most of the next three days.  I did not even awaken my computer until late Saturday evening.  Even then I realized I needed another day of rest were I to fulfill my obligations during the week.

I am back and own my blog five days of writing.  Today in diving deeper I wish to focus on the void we leave when our faith is not active at every moment.   The first thoughts I had when I fell ill was how unjust it seemed to get so sick when I had so many plans to do things well.  Then that chiding voice inside reminded me that it is not my plans that matter it is my obedience in faith. 

So as I swam in and out of my feverish sleep I would pray simple that my sleep helped focus my mind and spirit on Christ.  When I felt ill I would rehearse parts of the Psalms that comfort me.  I focused on using faith as my anchor through the illness.  It made my rest deeper and my waking times less miserable.  Even when I need to be MIA from life due to illness that does not mean that I cannot delve more deeply into Christ.

Wishing you joy in the journey,

Aramis Thorn
