About a month ago we took a last minute summer/fall vacation to North Myrtle Beach. As I was walking on the beach I happened to snap the picture that you see as my new blog header. I was totally amazed at the beauty of the quiet moment and how the heavens just opened up. The picture reminded me of how it must have been when Jesus being obedient to His Father in heaven as he was baptized. I could just hear the Father say "This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased."
Then I thought would God say that of His daughter - namely me? My behavior over the past month sure has had its ups and downs. Our business was just sold and there are lots of changes. I am not sure I will ultimately have a job with the new company however I am trying to adapt my attitude towards being a new employee and "learning the new way" as my baby sister advised.
Yesterday I had a D and C. You all know that my veins do not like needles:) Well yesterday before the surgery we brought in all of the top guns! The Dr. who also the Anesthesiologist was frustrated as the "IV Team Nurse" could not even come close to getting an IV started in me. Impatiently he went to find an ultrasound machine to get this IV started as we were running behind schedule. He examined my left arm with this machine. No vein to start this IV in. OK now we are going to the legs. I thought "You have got to be kidding" This ultrasound machine indicated there were no veins to penetrate this IV. Now we are moving to my feet. **Really!) The ultrasound found no veins. So the impatient doc says "Well we are eliminating our choices, it is either your right arm or your jugular." "My neck I exclaimed???" "Yes your neck he replied." So we started my IV via my neck! (It sounds worse than it was).
The surgery results: They removed several polyps. The doctor didn't think any looked cancerous however they are being sent out just to make sure.
When I came too I bit the nurses head off as I asked where is the doctor. She said "She communicated the information to your husband." "To my husband?? He doesn't understand what the doc and I have been talking about!" I replied. Her attitude was "Too bad, it is what it is. You can call that doctor on Monday. She has already gone home!" As I looked at the clock which was almost 5:00 PM I understood why.
So would the King of everything be pleased with me? I am not sure but I know in the end he has control of all!
Running the Race with confidence that God must have had a chuckle yesterday! Luann

I am sorry I missed your post yesterday...could have saved you an email. Beautiful pic! This morning at church I was reassured God loves me, regardless! I have to believe He understands the journey, the struggles and the fears. The juggler?? SCARRY....Continuing to pray for you!
Luann,
Your posts about God have touched me deeply. Like you, I am a woman of faith. I, too, sometimes wonder if God would have approved of something I said or did. Everyday when I talk to Him, I ask Him to forgive me & to make me ever more pleasing in His sight. I know that you, my sister, are very pleasing to Him and to all of us.
Love,
Brenda
Thanks Kim and Brenda! Well wait till I get today's post completed. Not sure what God is doing!
