God promises that in our lives there will be troubles. And I'm supposed to be excited about that? Daughter Jody gave me my "hot tip for the day" when she directed me to ever-on-target Sarah Young's words on that subject.
Sarah encourages me start my day, today and every day, with the full knowledge that there will be something to worry about before I get under the covers tonight. And here's where my choice comes into the picture. Do I use the minutes God gives me today to fret about those problems or do I use those same minutes looking to and thanking Him for how He is going to use those problems to mold me into a better person and to sweeten the prospect of a problem-free heaven. No question mark needed.
Thanks, Sarah, for this short and timely reminder.
"I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."-John 16:33 (NLT).
Fearful and wonderful? You bet!
On the health front:
One word this morning......Hallelujah! No Neupogen, for this week anyway!
I was so excited to hear the news that I neglected to ask for a WBC number but we'll cover that on Thursday when we meet with Dr. Polowy.
This means I'll get my usual infusion of Gemzar on Thursday, increasing the odds by a tiny bit that I might finish at least closer to my completion date of mid-July.
I am a happy woman!
