What's Up With That?

Well, one of the most wonderful things about life is the amazing amount of surprises that it holds. I just love how, when I think things are not going well and I start thinking they never will, God has this incredible way of showing me how amazing He is and how many surprises He has in store for me. 

I love surprises. When I hear people say they hate surprises, I think, "How sad is that?" That's the best part of life, as far as I'm concerned. Bring 'em on!

Today was a day of surprises for me. As I mentioned in my last post, I've been having these health issues. Well, today I had an appointment with the Infectious Disease Specialist. It was a very interesting visit, I must say. He said a lot of things that even now I don't understand but basically, they don't really know what the problem is. LOL! It figures. I went through that when I had my CSF leak. With me, it's always something bizarre. 

So they took what seemed like another gallon of blood to test, but the surprising part of the encounter was when the doctor looked at me and said, "Are any of your brothers & sisters red headed?" I said I don't know but my mother was. He said you have red hair and beautiful green eyes so I'm guessing you're of Irish descent and there is something called IEG, (or something like that) which is only found in people of Irish descent that causes them to be more prone to infections. (Which is something I have). So he's going to test for that. Interesting, huh?  I found that to be very surprising. I knew I had Irish & Scottish heritage but this really brings it home.

I'm not worried. I feel fine. I've been through much worse and I know that my Lord & Savior is with me every step of the way. I think He's making these things interesting just for me because He knows I love it.

Add to the fact that Easter is coming and I can't wait to spend it with my family, children, grandchildren, good friends, anyone that I can include in the mix. Spring is coming. You might not think so today but it's definitely on the way. I'm excited about what the future holds.

Because my God put a plan into place before the foundation of the world that would ensure a place for me in eternity with Him, I no longer have to fear anything that happens to me here in this world or later in the next. I'm excited to see what surprises He has in store for me when I get up there, too. I can't wait but I'm in no hurry. There are too many things that I have yet to experience here. Thank you, Father, for the ability to enjoy my life to the fullest now and the wonderful assurance of where I will spend eternity as well.

1 John 5:10-13-"Anyone who believes in the Son of God has this testimony in his heart. Anyone who does not believe has made God a liar, because he has not believed the testimony God has given about His Son. And this is the testimony:God has given His us eternal life,and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son, has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life."

My favorite song this week is "The More I 
Seek You"

The more I seek you,

 the more I find you.

The more I find you,
the more I love you

I wanna sit at your feet
drink from the cup in your hand.
Lay back against you and breath,
hear your heart beat

This love is so deep,
it's more than I can stand.
I melt in your peace, it's overwhelming

The more I seek you,
the more I find you.

The more I find you,
the more I love you

I wanna sit at your feet
drink from the cup in your hand.
Lay back against you and breath,
hear your heart beat

This love is so deep,
it's more than I can stand.
I melt in your peace, it's overwhelming

I wanna sit at your feet
drink from the cup in your hand.
Lay back against you and breath,
hear your heart beat

This love is so deep,
it's more than I can stand.
I melt in your peace, it's overwhelming

I wanna sit at your feet
drink from the cup in your hand.
Lay back against you and breath,
hear your heart beat

This love is so deep,
it's more than I can stand.
I melt in your peace...

I can't sing that song without being swept away to that moment and just feeling like I'm there. Incredible.

I pray the peace of God will permeate your lives.

 

Isaiah 54:10

Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed," says the LORD, who has compassion on you.
