Earlier this week, I noticed that things seemed to be clicking along well. I was working on a query letter. My income taxes were filed. I got a great report from a doctor’s visit. I thought to myself, “This can’t last.” I’m not especially pessimistic, but I know things run in cycles.
Sure enough- My mom is in the hospital with what may be another heart attack. The doctors are still evaluating what type pf damage was done and how much. We were supposed to head out to visit today, but Jon was up sick all night. He thinks he can still make the 8 hour trip. We’ll see.
No matter what happens in life, it comes along because God has determined He can use that situation for my good and His glory. He’s never surprised and He’s beside me, not waiting on the other side.
Hebrews is my favorite book in the Bible. I’ll close out this quick post with some verses from chapter 13. “Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you, nor forsake you.” So we may boldly say: “The LORD is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?”
He himself said… I will NEVER leave you… Never…
Have a great weekend- I’ll be back Tuesday.
