Dreaming of Simplicity

 We often hear this verse tossed about but sometimes even something small can remind you how true this passage from Phillipians 4 is. Here is a brief testimony to that fact.

  As I had written before I have been working at a renaissance festival playing a lady in waiting. I just do not do well with the heat and the sun so you can imagine walking around all day in the beating sun in several layers (one of which was black velvet) that I was just a wreck each night. Yesterday was the last day of the festival and I did not know how I would get through the day. I was just dragged out tired, worn out and dreading another night of heat sickness. I did not know what to do, I had done everything with in my power to try and stay cool and none of it had worked. As I was driving to the festival listening to some hymns it came to me. I could not get through the day on my own power. I prayed twice on the way to the festival grounds for the Lord's strength to get me through the day healthy. When I got to the grounds I prayed once more. You know what, it was the only day of the two weeks that I was not sick at the end of the day! Tired, yes but not sick! Praise the Lord. I praised the Lord and thanked him for his help. Even as fun as the festival is to work at I know with out the Lord I would not have been able to face the day and made it through! Praise the Lord!!!
