Day six - 12:40 p.m.

Sweet prayer warriors,

I have known, loved and claimed Jer. 29:11 ever since the Lord gave me that verse almost 25 years ago. As i have shared with many of you, before Aaron's first round, 5 years ago i "interpreted" (by choice) this verse that God had a GOOD plan for me and all those i loved.
woo hoo!! And He does.
But i think i thought in my little brain, once again i choose to think, God never promised this, that if i did what i thought i was supposed to do then God would give me a good life with no problems!! The thing the Lord finally taught me is that HE has a plan WHATEVER is happening. And because He has a plan then He has made a way and it is GOOD! Sometimes i just have to trust that even when He doesn't answer just like i want He is STILL God. And just because He acts vindicates, the act! Why would i want a God i could control or understand?
Guess He thought i needed a refresher course . . .
They had to put Aaron's Foley back in. His bladder just isn't ready to assume the job. Gonna wait another day and try again. His tummy is still not kickn' in either. Seems they are all having a hard time waking up. He had this problem last time, so we will just wait until the Lord is ready to wake it all up.
I was just at the ice machine and had a 'chance' meeting with a man whose 36 yr old daughter is here also. Been here going on 2 1/2 months. She had her colon removed 5 yrs ago or so, due to chrones, and has had mutiple health problems her whole life. She has never had a life. Her father said death had called her 6 times in her life but the Lord had said, 'not yet,' each time. She had an emergency surgery last Thurs. was supposed to go home Sat., then Sun, then today. But her incision has burst open. But you know he was smiling and praising God. God gives me those when i need them to see how much grace He is showing. It can always be so much worse. This is just one story . . .
Thanks for all your prayers the Lord is still on His throne and i will praise HIM!!

Later
nise

grrr...God's little "sovereignty reminders" aren't always what we'd like, I guess. I mean, the doctors can do their thing the right way all day long, but until He says it's time, it ain't gonna work. Or as Johnny Cochran would say, "If God don't say, 'Go', there'll be no flow!"

We love you! Hang in there!
