In the Midst of Waiting ...

The Lord Our God

Promise maker, promise keeper

You finish what You begin

Our provision through the desert

You see it through ‘til the end

You see it through ‘til the end

The Lord our God is ever faithful

Never changing through the ages

From this darkness

You will lead us

And forever we will say

You’re the Lord our God

In the silence, in the waiting

Still we can know You are good

All Your plans are for Your glory

Yes, we can know You are good

Yes, we can know You are good

We won’t move without You

We won’t move without You

You’re the light of all

And all that we need

DREAMS appear shattered. HOPE is being held on by only a thread and some days appears missing completely. PLANS thwarted. QUESTIONS unanswered (and lots of them). ROADBLOCKS in place. HEARTACHE. TEARS. The past month has been anything but glamorous for me, as I've continued walking through a painful health journey in life that God hand-picked just for me. Why? I don't know and honestly may never truly understand it all. However, I do know that through it all - He is NEVER changing and still remains faithful.

In the midst of the constant pain that I'm faced with daily and having my activities decided by my health day-to-day, my Heavenly Father ultimately decides my future. I can rest assured that these plans, though far from anything I would have picked for myself, are somehow meant for His glory. Additionally, just as the lyrics in the above song reads, even in the midst of the waiting, that still I can know my God is good.

"I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in His word I hope." -Psalm 130:5

The complexity of my current health situation continues to increase and unfortunately there is no simple explanation, or solution. Antibodies are attacking multiple systems in my body - causing neurological, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal issues. We are trying to "band-aid" symptoms without having much success in treating anything right now. I've been referred to the University of Health in Denver, CO, but we are currently trying to get an earlier appointment, as my current appointment is a couple months out.

Would you joing me in praying for Father to make a way to get an appointment within  the month of June at the latest (earlier the better!), so that we can get the answers I so hope for in hopes of also getting the treatment  needed to start bringing my body back to health, instead of continually seeing it slowly decline?

Would you also join me in praying for protection of my heart and the roller coaster of emotions that I've been riding? It's been a tough road, and I know the journey seems far from over yet, as the end is not yet in sight. I know that Father is carrying me through, but I also need the body of people (like you) around me to continually be supporting and encouraging me along the way as well.
