Weekly Staying Connected, August 28
Major's Moment
The last two weeks, I was scheduled to go the office three times for a quick test, with two follow ups. However, I ended up going to the doctor's FIVE time - driving an hour round-trip each time. Was this because of a serious health condition I am dealing with? No. It's because I didn't follow directions for the first two times I went to the doctor.
I arrived the first time to hear that I need to eat a low iodine diet. I didn't know what that necessarily meant - but was told since I ate seaweed the day before I couldn't take my test. So the next week I showed up, ready to go, and again found out that I shouldn't have eaten fish and chips the day before! Why do I keep eating things that get me in trouble!
It was frustrating, but, I was given the directions. I couldn't complain because I didn't do my part. I was only successful on my third attempt because I asked my whole household to help me look out.
This is a simple example of how we need each other to do what's best, to be in community to hold each other accountable. Praise God, that we have the family of God, to keep us on the narrow path, running after Him.
