Faith and Patience

Our world is in such turmoil as I write this. The earthquake, tsunami, and if those two things weren't bad enough, the radiation leaks in Japan are horrific and unimaginable. They believe over 18,000 lives are lost and I'm sure the number will rise even further (unfortunately).  Now, the bombings in Libya to stop the "nut" Qaddafi (or however you want to spell it,,it's always different)..stop him from killing innocent people in his own country. He's now threatening to use mustard gas even in Europe (to the north of Libya). No one seems to know how this is going to end since it is unfolding quickly, and if he doesn't back down, who knows what will happen.  It seems there is unrest everywhere we look and people all over the world standing up for freedom.

BUT..God's Word said it would be this way, so we shouldn't fear, but expect the second coming of Jesus when these signs appear.  My faith is so strong and I believe God is in control and sees everything going on. I pray in these times that people will turn to Him for strength and comfort.

My therapy for my broken upper humerus (arm) is going well. It sure is a long road back to recovery but my faith again is strong that I will get full use of my arm and fingers. It may take a year, but everyday I will be going for the goal of complete recovery. That's where my patience comes in and choose not to get discouraged that I'm not there yet. Are you feeling that today about something in your life?

May the Lord bless your week.

TRUST AND FAITH

I started physical therapy Monday in Lubbock for my broken upper arm.  I learned so much on how to exercise the arm the RIGHT way.  Lex (the therapist) didn't hurt me at all ....like I do.  I have been of the mindset that no pain/no gain.  In losing weight that is the motto, but in the healing of my arm, that's not true. The little movements until the pain starts are what will help me heal (not pushing it past the pain).  I expect way too much of me and beat myself up because I'm not  using the arm/hand like I want and expected.  I would never have dreamed it would be 4 months and still barely able to use it.

God has taught me so much through this.  TRUST and FAITH.  Trusting in Him and His Word.  He has healed me before and saved me from the brink of death back in 1996, and I'm trusting Him now for the complete healing of my arm.  And...that's where FAITH comes in.  Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen.  My faith is strong and I know He will see me/us through this.

The Tuesday Morning Show is about to start at 9am so I'll be talking to "y'all" then.  Make it a great day :0)

Thank you Lord and Thank YOU for the prayers!!

I have been trying to write all day and thank all of you for your concern and prayers for my broken arm and the nerve/muscle damage that has occurred because of the immobilization of the arm.  What a dilemma!! I had to keep the upper arm still so it could heal and that made the muscles weak (if you don't use them, you lose them I always heard and it's so true!!). Now my elbow won't straighten out, the right hand and fingers don't work well yet either because of the edema (swelling) and the pain is really bad. It's extremely painful to try and hold a pen to write a check, or a simple thing like trying to make a fist.

Yesterday Terry and I went to see Dr. Scovell at Lubbock Sports Medicine to see what can be done and what is the next step?  He assured us that with Physical Therapy (PT) and lots of hard work doing the right therapy, working through lots of pain, I will be able to get my hand/arm back. It's going to take a while, but that's ok, I just want to be able to do things again (fix my hair, do my makeup, etc).  We were so thankful that Dr. Scovell said he didn't think I needed surgery!! That's a real blessing because of underlying health issues, any surgery would be extremely dangerous for me.

We just feel like the Lord is hearing all of our prayers and He has led us to the right doctors. Again, thank you all for caring and the continued prayers through this. Jesus still heals today and He is going to see us through this.

Until next time, remember..."With God all things are possible.".... We find faith by not only believing what Jesus says, but even more, by trusting Jesus Himself. If we only look at what He says, we will never believe. Once we see Jesus, the impossible things He does in our lives become as natural as breathing."
