Never "suppose"

We all share the reality that some days are better than others. Since our journey through cancer began, my evaluation at the end of any given day is usually based on cancer related issues. A good health day makes for a good spirit and a bad health day is a spirit breaker. On a bad day it is easy to go to the "suppose I am always going to feel like this" mindset and down the drain goes the spirit.

H.W.S. draws my attention to the perfect antidote for this poisonous attitude when he says, "There is one text that will take all the "supposes" out of a believer's life, if it is received and acted on in child-like faith; it is Hebrews 13:5,6."-H.W.S. (Streams in the Desert).  That text reads, "......and be content with what you have, because God has said, 'Never will I leave you or forsake you.'.  So we say with confidence, 'The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.  What can man do to me?'"- Hebrews 13:5,6 (NIV).  So simple, yet so hard to wrap my head around at times along the way.

Carson has run away from home for a few days (with my blessing) so I have time to ponder this beautiful truth uninterrupted.  Maybe this time I will get it once and for all.

"Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you your heart's desires. Commit everything you do to the Lord.  Trust Him and He will help you."-Psalm 37:4,5 (NLT).

On the health front:

Nothing specific to report other than the usual lack of energy.  Neupogen tomorrow and Tuesday ought to address that issue.  Until then, more opportunities to read.
