Trust
Jesus, I trust You. I don’t need to understand everything that’s happening—I just need to be still, and know You. You fight for me. You died for me. You are for me. Thank You. You are enough for me, and so I will place my hope, trust, joy, and future in You. I believe in You. Amen.

Do not fear …
“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
Isaiah 41:10 NIV

Stomach Mystery
For 6 weeks or more, for sure since the double pneumonia my stomach has been upset, achy, on edge and generally quite uncomfortable.
Maybe not this bad but bad enough There were two rounds of antibiotics for the pneumonia, one which I’ve had several times before without any problem. I’ve had less experience with the other type (ciprofloxacin). So, it could be the drugs.
Pneumonia in the lower lobes of the lung can cause abdominal pain as well. Who knew?
Dr. Google can be a dangerous place.

Choices
Taken from
WHOSE CHOICE IS IT?
When sitting in a stillness before God, I often ponder my choices.
· My choice to be quiet and choose rest.
· My choice to live a life of faith.
· My choice to forgive others leads to my freedom.
· My choice to let go of the things I cannot control.
· My choice to accept the promises of God for my life.
· My choice to trust in His faithfulness regardless of my circumstances.
Life can be difficult and draining. We encounter problems, failures, and various overwhelming issues. Often, we want to shift blame and point a finger. We can easily fall into a “victim” mentality. We feel defensive.
After years of coaching and mentoring, I wrestle with the profound question: “Who is in charge of me/you?” Is it your boss, your neighbor, or your little brother? Is it still your mother or father? At some point, we all realize that we must take responsibility for our daily responses and decisions. We can aimlessly blame our lives away, like a victim, or we can take smart steps to walk towards a victory for greater, more powerful tomorrows…. starting today!

One More Night

As the drainage and air leak continue I’m told “one more night” and then we’ll re-evaluate.
Surgery was Feb. 20th and the stay was planed for overnight. It’s Day 4, Feb 23rd.
