I thought of Matt as we were in HSC wondered if his family were there eating while i had a bowl of soup after CT but didn't think i wanted to go ask everyone and knew i wouldn't be allowed up to see him, but our thoughts and prayers went up your way. Continue to pray for Matt as hopefully tomoorro the bone marrow transplant can be performed successfully.
My cousin Lil B. emailed me her Grandma Klassen passed away this morning, pray for the Klassen family (Marge W, Susan B, Jake & families)
My sis emailed me today, she did leave me chuckling even though she was serious, but i hope she doesn't mind i share a piece, she emailed me about anointing a person with oil which it speaks about in the bible, "Get hubby to anoint you with oil and get Janae to pray for you - if you let Janae annoint you with oil, you may have the whole container, unless that is what God says to do" another quote "Pray in faith and don't doubt, just listen to God and see what he says and wait. God didn't heal everyone on the porch at Bethsaida - God healed a man who didn't even know who Jesus was. When some had no faith, Jesus used his own. When someone came to Jesus, He never said, "I'm tired or too busy...maybe another day if you catch me in time." God says we need to ask and keep knocking. God has a purpose and a plan - All things are possible with God..." i thank her so much for writing this to me, as yes one does have days of doubt, especially when days like this week when things have been tough, extremely tough, its like when is God going to help me and when i'm waiting trying to be patient but at times that's pretty difficult, we tend to want our healing and our prayers answered right away, when things get extremely difficult it sure is hard to just lay them at his feet when we want to be still in charge, because i want to live and its just taking way to long to get better.
" Psalms 103:1,2, 5 " Praise the Lord, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise His holy name. Praise the Lord, Oh my soul, and forget not all his benefits... who satisfied your desires wtih good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. Any verse with eagles are fav's of mine too. I don't know if i should say this but i decided if i am to die i want a bald eagle engraved on metal of a bald eagle, with a verse that says " On the wings of an Eagle's i will fly " anyway, sorry,no more sad stuff today
here's the pic of the double geranium from Linda that just started blooming, absolutely gorgeous.
Diane, please don't ever apologize for sad thoughts or comments. They are part of life. I have thought about what to write in my own blog, and thought some stuff would be too depressing, but that's the stuff that goes through my mind. And sharing that stuff is healing.
ReplyDeleteVery neat that you chose a Psalm to share. I was once told to read a psalm a day, or 5 per day. And you know, the psalms are healing. David went through the gamut of emotions, from wanting to die, to being hunted, to having screwed up (I don't know if he ever had cancer???). But through most every psalm he wrote, he always came back around to lifting praise to God. Which is exactly what you did too. David was called a man after God's own heart. I believe you are a woman after God's own heart too.
In Gladstone they recently anointed a man with oil and prayed over him. It was apparently a very moving experience. I don't know of any results yet. You should ask Vic Funk to gather the ministerial to anoint you and pray over you (maybe you already have?). It's not a guarantee that God will heal you, but when you do it you are exercising faith that God CAN, and God honors that...I believe that completely. And hey, if He does decide to heal you, then wow, you have an amazing testimony.
Beautiful flowers, by the way. Love you loads and am praying like crazy for you!
