bAaA BAa Black SheEp

Ezekiel 34:1-10

Many things have been happening around me in this season of my life. I find that I've had to face difficult colleages, family tension, long - standing problems and learn how to face my worst fears. Even as I write this, my dad is unhappy with me because I'm still awake and deemed to be unable to 'run my own life'.

I'm learning how to cope and I'm always amazed at God's timing. How He manages to allow everything bad that can happen, to happen, all in one short time frame. But I think God is really good, and I'm really reminded not to dwell on my problems.

"... Woe to the shepherds of Israel who only take care of themselves! Should not shepherds take care of the flock?" - Ezekial 34: 2

Yup, life is full of it's ups and downs and there are always problems and urgent things we have to tend to. Ultimately, I know that God will provide and that He will bless but is my faith strong enough to believe that I can still love my people and actively do something about it? I pray for strength.

I really thank God for a particularly beautiful lady the lord has blessed me with. I truly believe that she's one of those shepherds who take care of the flock even when she should only be taking care of herself. So thank you, because I've learned what it means to love even when life is so unlovable.

To my fellow sheep mates, have you been thanking your shepherds?
