Hello, all. I hope that this Wednesday finds you well. I am doing well emotionally. I am not allowing my mind to wander to dark places as the pain still lingers from my hips to my upper chest. I will be meeting with my oncologist tomorrow and we will work on a pain management plan among preparations for my fourth round of chemo. Yay, fourth round!
One thing I have noticed with this pain, maybe some of you can relate, is that I tend to react quickly and at times sharply in situations. When I say sharp, I definitely don't mean with intelligence. Pain has the ability to change someone's personality because it causes so much hurt. In the midst of this situation, I am working through the pain and the "sharpness" that sputters out of my mouth if I am not careful.
Last night at small group we were finishing up James 4: 13-17. In a nutshell, this section is about the importance of following God's will in your life. At times, especially when we are seeing success, we tend to leave God out of our plans. We often say that we are going to do this and that over the next year and in reality all we know is the present day. As you all know, Eric and I know fully what this passage means. We had plans for our marriage celebration and for the first year of marriage, but obviously those plans have changed and changed again. As my father says: the one thing we can count on is that our plans will change. :o) God is fully in control of our life. We know this. Being in such a desperate situation allows a person to choose bitterness and denial or joy and a conquering heart. Eric and I choose the latter with God leading our way.
James 4: 15 It would be best to say, "If it is the Lord's will and we live long enough, we hope to do this project or pursue this dream."
