Whew! What a Week!

(Just a little something I crafted this week as a stress reliever, LOL! It's for a friend that is crazy about butterflies)

Have you ever had a week that felt like a never - ending marathon? A marathon of emotions, I mean?? Well, here I am on Saturday Morning, with my tongue hanging out, gasping for breath, so to speak, but alive! (Thanks to my Lord)

My Mom had to have another sonogram this Wednesday.... it was for the "mass" they have been watching for the past year, but had just about decided was a benign cyst. We have trusted Jesus with this, and He reassured us through the radiologist just before Christmas that it was almost 99% certain to be harmless....

Well, they have found a couple of other things, and they need to be biopsied...... of course when they say "biopsy" you sort of go all tense.......

Mom has heard that the biopsies will be painful?? I don't know, having never had to have one... thank the Good Lord.....I DO know this, however! I have complete Faith in my Jesus..... I truly believe that everything is going to be alright! He has always taken care of us, and He is not going to stop now...... I am reminded of a little song that says:

He didn't bring us this far, to leave us,

He didn't teach us to swim to let us drown

He didn't build His home in us, to move away

He didn't lift us up, to let us down

And that is comforting, because it's TRUE!

Several other things have happened this week..... one of which is that another dear and precious and much - loved Lady in our lives has had some scary medical reports, and we are sending up constant, fervent prayers for her healing.... along with Mom's healing.........

But, do you know what? I asked the Lord to do something for me..... such a small and insignifigant little thing, really..... but something only He and I knew about....... and, by the next DAY He had brought it to pass.......... I just wept when I saw it...... you see, it was my Father letting me know yet again how much He cares for me and loves me and knows even the desires of my heart....

He answered another prayer for me this week, too, by the way..... Oh! He is so good! He is so Faithful! He can be trusted, leaned on, and depended upon with the big and small things in our lives, because that's the kind of God He is! My Soul praises Him this Morning and I lift up His Holy Name.....

How I love Him, with all of my heart, all of my mind, all of my soul, and all of my strength......
