My faithful devotional, Jesus Calling, gave me just the fix I needed this morning, as it so often does. I was encouraged to think of the ballerina who must find a fixed focal point as she spins in order to keep her balance as she dances. I, too, need a fixed focal point as my "dance" continues.
I'm here to tell you that there have been many opportunities for my dance to spin out of control, and I fully expect that my balance will be challenged again as it continues. I would be dishonest if I have ever created the impression that I have not hit the floor on occasion, but thanks to my Focal Point, it doesn't happen often.
No need to expound on this simple analogy this morning. I'm going to limit my focus to this mental picture alone as I look forward to a beautiful dance today.
"In the beginning You laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands. They will perish, but You remain; they will all wear out as a garment ....but You remain the same, and Your years will never end."-Psalm 102:25-27 (NIV).
On the health front:
It's amazing what a good night's sleep can do for the body! This morning I'm refreshed and energized (which could be partially attributed to a healthy dose of caffeine).
Another injection this morning, then chemo tomorrow morning. I'm blessedly free of the side effects that often accompany Neupogen so things could be a lot worse.
Best of all, today begins the move back into our bedroom after a very long four and a half weeks of the chaos of the bathroom remodel. Woo Hoo!
