Dear friends – There was a time in my life when I wanted something so badly but I did not get it. The details of my circumstances are no important but the fact is many of us have been in this situation. You want something but you don’t get it. I prayed, waited, and even engaged a medical community to help me with my situations but I still did not get what I wanted. During this time in my life, I chose to focus on the goodness in my life and be thankful for a long list of other blessings like family, friends, health and wellness. With support from my family, friends, and church community I was able to navigate this season. My faith in Jesus kept me strong. I had to trust God with the rest and remain thankful.
In the last several years I have had several specialist appointments. I could have been and continued to be worried and concerned about the outcome. What I have chosen to do is to be thankful for the short drive to connect with a medical community that is so kind, caring, and supportive. One of the medical staff asked me if I ever become worried or concerned about my appointments or the outcome of test results. My response was I am not going to be concerned about something I have no control over. I will remain thankful for the medical care that I receive. I know that God is with me every step of the way. There are many unknowns (especially medical unknowns) in this world and I chose to leave those unknowns with God. God has been and continues to be by my side every step of my life journey. I chose to give thanks because I know the Lord Jesus is God and He is good.
When we make the choice to give thanks, we are changed forever.
Until next time my friends remember you are known and loved by God. Blessings!
