Something a little different............

Just read my last blog from May and I must say that it has been completely different than I ever imagined. Time for rest and recuperation transpired into an eye exam, MRI's, dr. visits to Omaha, more tests and a plan for radiation treatments. And that is just on the surface. Spiritually, emotionally........the Lord turned my world upside and now my heart and eyes are riveted on Him, being sustained by His daily grace and being amazed at His character, His promises, His unbelievable faithfulness, strength and love.

And just today, Cathy and I studied about demonstrating humility as we go through trials. Oh my........to ponder what we have been saved from because of Christ's work on the cross does put my immediate circumstances into perspective. I have much to rejoice in, especially the salvation that was purchased for me on the cross!! What hope we have, too - eternity with our God!!

During part of this time, I was able to see the hand of God work in our church as He presented a new pastor to our congregation. I am very excited for the plans the Lord has for our church!!

I can't forget the blessings of being with family and friends throughout this cool, Nebraska summer. We have had some sweet times of fellowship, prayer and fun. Plus, the best news is having Allen and Bethany heading back to Nebraska with a new job awaiting Allen in Omaha! Another faithful answer to this mama's prayers.

Well, I must get some bills paid, spiff up the house and keep a move on with the work God has given me to do today.
