Breathe...

Well it’s NOVEMBER which means NaNoWriMo!!! *WooooT WooooT* I have already started working on my novel and hooked already…although it did take me a while to get going….like only 300 words in an hour!!! I mean come on! That’s just BAD!! And now I’m writing a blog… *raised eyebrow and shaking head* …trying to figure out why I’m writing a blog when I have a novel to work on!? Maybe, just maybe it’s because I’m not stressed about reaching 50 000 words in 30 days because I know I have the week off work next week and don’t have much planned so I can push through the novel all day long instead of from the minute I get home after work till my brain shuts down around midnight.

Anyway, last week I really struggled with my asthma. I was coughing, wheezing, spluttering and just not coping well most of the week. It made me realize that man does not breathe independently. We only breathe because of our Maker and because He lets us.

I take it, if you are reading this blog that you are busy inhaling and exhaling air…if you weren’t you’d be blue in the face or perhaps lying face down on the floor….dead. Yet we go about breathing without realizing it…and then, when your asthma hits or something else happens, we realize just how much we rely on our Maker in order to breath.

Then it amazes me to think that it’s a lot easier for God to create heaven and starry hosts than it is for me to take a simple breath.

Psalm 33:6 & 9 says:

vs6 By the word of the Lord were the heavens made, their starry host by the BREATH of his mouth.

vs9 For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.

How easy it was for the Lord to make the most ponderous orbs, the most glorious angels, only by a few words…by His breath. Just think of all those things that amaze you, those things that we stand and admire or are in aw of…wow…yeah, our God is great – for He spoke and it came to be.

Anyway, just another random blog. I think I’m going to work on my novel. You might not get another blog from me until I’ve reached my 50 000 words before the end of the month….so until then, be blessed folks.
