Faith Honored

I believe. With all my heart and soul, I believe. I believe in God's plan for me.

These past days I have been preparing for the possible journey again through the valley of the devil. I have been very comfortable thinking that if I have to go there, I will willingly walk in faith....and walk....and walk...and walk until I can't walk any further. And then, He will carry me the rest of the way. Its His promise to me, and I believe Him.

I have been hoping for the best, while preparing for the worst, and no matter what the outcome, would be accepting of the future as perfect because its His plan. No matter what the outcome.

My day started early today, not able to sleep too well. In an odd but calm way, the day played out.....just waiting for my plan, His plan, to play out. Trying not to remember the events of the first battle, but having been there once, realistically understanding what the next one could be like. But also embracing the comfort that comes with fully trusting in His promise not to ever give me any more than I can handle.

I was quite ready for the news..........

My petscan test results just came in. I'm healthy. God must still have a need for me here. :)

Thanks for all your prayers, no doubt they were heard.

Now let's all go do good.

Bring it on......if you must........just bring it!

There are probably several words, or phrases, that when heard or read, give one a slight chill.

"pull over" broadcasted on a police car loudspeaker following right behind you.....

"you are being audited" is another I would prefer never to read....again.........

I could think of more, but this is a family blog site.... :)

My monthly check up was today, and I have another one to add to the list...... "I feel a lump"...... calmly stated by my doctor as he felt my neck. I have always wondered if I would hear those words, and if I did, how I would react. Now I know. Amazing how quickly life can be put into perspective.

I truly believe that God places challenges in our path to give us the opportunity to show just how much we trust Him. Anyone can profess to have Faith when the going is smooth and easy. But when the road gets a little bumpy, how "unshakable" is one's faith then? I am thankful for the chance to show mine.

This may very likely prove to be nothing. We are scheduling a petscan to figure out what it is, but I am counting on it being nothing serious. And definitely not round 2 with the demon. A positive attitude may not be the cure all, but it sure is better than the alternative.

And prayers help too, so any extra you might have just looking for a target would be appreciated.

Can't wait to share with you that this was just a false alarm.....and in the meantime....I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe.....and my fingers are crossed too... :)

Now go be nice to someone today. :)
