All Things Bruce Eric

Everyone has them. I had one today - a ‘bad’ day. It wasn’t that anything specific went wrong or that I messed up on a high-profile project or anything but my attitude during the day has slowly degraded over time to the point where recently I’ve begun to question everything I’m doing. It has resulted in a very self-centered attitude and tonight it all changed. When we got together with our REALife group, we learned that a the wife of a couple we know reasonably well is not doing very well at all. She’s recently battled cancer, made it through her first round of chemo successfully but recently started a second round and took a turn for the worse. We spent the first 20 minutes praying specifically for her, asking God to heal her, to help her family understand and comfort them, but most of all to heal her.Then we sang a song that just touched my heart and made me realize that, though all around us may appear as out of control, that God is fully in control and that he’s using all this to bring glory to himself. The words that touched my heart were by Mark Hall of the group Casting Crowns from “Who Am I.”They are:“I am a flower quickly fading, here today and gone tomorrow, a wave tossed in an ocean, vapor in the wind. Still you hear me when I’m calling, Lord you catch me when I’m falling and you’ve told me who I am. I am yours, I am yours.” Friends, we’re praying for you. BEA
