What a day!
I’ve been feeling really crummy lately and
was directed by my doctor to have some blood-work done. So I dutifully, albeit
reluctantly, took a little trip to the hospital and generously gave a few vials
of my life’s-blood. Well, before I could get back home, the hospital had called
the Dr.’s office, and the Dr.’s office had left an urgent message on my
phone. Hhmmm... I was told not to do anything strenuous (as
if I could right now!) because my potassium level was ‘dangerously low’. Hhmmm again...
They prescribed some potassium (they want to see if that works before trying
an IV). I’ve been on the potassium for a few days and will re-test
this week. I’m praying it makes a huge difference!
Same day, four hours later...
My husband came home, shoulders slumped, face serious. Uh-oh.
He sat down next to me, gently took my hand, and explained that the
corporate office of the company he works (ed) for, executed a national
down-size, and his department was dissolved. Plain-speak? He has joined the
ever-growing ranks of the unemployed. Well Darn. It’s not the first time we’ve been here. My
heart aches for my husband. I really don’t want to see him have to go through
this yet again.
Same day, one hour later...
Same day, one hour later...
We cried out to the One who loves us.
He heard our prayers, and generously gave us His peace. Have I wavered
since then? Oh yes. Every once in a while fear grips my chest. But I immediately
take those “what in the world are we going to do?” thoughts captive. And like
David, I remind myself just who my God is and who I am because of Him. We belong
to Him and He will absolutely, positively, without a doubt take care of us.
Thank you Father for Your peace, for Your
provision, for Your life-giving Word, for the assurance of Your love. I am so grateful. Amen.
Living in His grace,
Mary
