The Saga Continues

“The Lord will guide you always; He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame.  You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.”  Isaiah 58:11

Tomorrow, Lord.  We leave tomorrow.  850 miles and a three day trip.  I can’t wait to see how You make it possible for me and my sweet husband.  It’s going to be amazing... something only You can do.  Thank You now for the awesome trip we are going to have the entire time.

Can’t wait to see what You show the doctors and staff in Michigan about my brain problems, Lord.  It will be something that none of us have ever thought about before.  Thank You for the peace and grace to receive all the gifts that You give me while there.  

Lead us and guide us, Lord, in the center of Your will.  Praise, honor and glory be unto Your Name, my glorious Lord.  You are worthy to be praised

A Heart To Go

For nothing is impossible with God.”  Luke 1:37

Well, Lord, it’s no secret that I’ve been having a hard time accepting this trip to the Michigan headache institute.  In my head I surrendered to You and it, but deep within my heart I still struggled to accept this.  I was so upset about my need to go all the way to Michigan for a headache.  It seemed so “unbelievable”.  So, Lord, my struggle continued despite my giving it all to You.  

But God....  only You, Lord, could do what You did on my birthday this week.  You brought me to a heart surrender to go to Michigan to receive Your gift(s) to be revealed there. I am now ready to go to Michigan, fully knowing that this is Your plan for me.  I still have no idea what You will do in Michigan, but I know it will be for Your greatest glory and for the good of all involved.  How could I not go?  Thank You, Abba Father, for Your precious gift of tears and total surrender to Your will, not mine.  You are so loving toward me.  The praise, honor and glory is all Yours.... just as it should be. 

“The priest answered them, ‘Go in peace.  Your journey has the Lord’s approval.’”  Judges 18:6

Going

“The Lord Himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.  Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”  Deuteronomy 31:8

I’m really going, Lord.  I kept trying to tell myself that going to Michigan really wasn’t necessary, that I could find answers somewhere else... somewhere closer to home.  However, You have surely shown me that Michigan is where You want me to go.  Why?  I have no idea at all, but it is.   So Michigan it is, Lord.  I can’t imagine what Michigan will find that others could not.  Guess I’ll find out in the next month.  

LOTS of paperwork to be filled out to take to Michigan.  Lots of plans to make for the trip.  Lots of things to do at home so we can leave the house in “show ready” condition.  Lots to do, Lord.... all by Your amazing grace.

I’ve been wondering, Lord, how You will use me and my time in Michigan for Your greatest glory.  Right now it is truly a mystery to me, but I know You are sending me to do Your will in all of this.  Don’t let me miss seeing You and letting You be seen in and through me.  I just can’t imagine what You have planned.  I’m so thankful for Your faithfulness to make the way straight so that, in all things, Your good, perfect and acceptable will is done.  May You shine brightly through it all and draw others to Jesus.  Can’t wait to see how You do all of that...
