December 5, 2012. Genesis 28:11-16: Even when Jacob was in the middle of nowhere, sleeping with a rock for a pillow, God spoke to him and revealed His plan for him. Jacob's reaction was, "Surely God is in this place!" I must remember that regardless of my circumstances and my comfort level, God is surely in this place. (Jesus Calling)
I have my weekly blood draw this morning, followed by a "vanity day" (hair and nails) with people who are praying for me. As a matter of fact, God is steadily chipping away at my vanity these days. Thanks to chemotherapy and the need to monitor skin and nail changes, today I will have my acrylic nails removed. I have enjoyed 15 years of lovely, artificial nails. This is going to be tough! And to make matters worse, I can no longer have my hair colored....the ultimate insult! I must admit, I have wondered for a while what my real hair color is. I guess I'll find out. ("Vanity, thy name is woman!")
Thank You, Lord, for whatever this day will bring.
