Jacksonville

Monday we made the trip to Jacksonville, only to be told that she was not the doctor that would be able to help.  She did answer some questions for us though.  We know now that one medicine is the cause of the other problem. And we need to make a decision which issue is most important to us.

However, looking back, it was not a wasted trip.
It is a beginning.

I had a lot of thinking and praying time.  I have been letting this situation control my life.

I have let it get me down.  I rarely smile.  I have gained 10 lbs.  I am irritable.  But the scariest part of all, I allowed this situation to push me to a point to question my faith and God.

This situation will not control me.  This situation will not change who my God is to me. I will worship and praise His name, REGARLESS of the outcome or the timeframe because He alone is worthy. He knows the best plan for my life.  He knows that I may need to go through this to be stronger for something else that may come later. I don’t know, but it’s not my place to know.

“I will praise him in this storm.”

“Do everything you do to the glory of the One who made you
Cause He made you to do
Every little thing that you do to bring a smile to His face
And tell the story of grace
With every move that you make
And every little thing you do.”
