I will be the first to admit it. When I decide that I want something, I want it yesterday! It is something that I have always struggled with and something that I know God is working on in me.
Well, apparently my body is as impatient as my mind is and did not want to wait until next week. So, I am going to the doctor tomorrow afternoon to pick up my drugs and get started.
This day took FOREVER to get here and yet now it is all moving so fast. The nervous stomach is back and I am afraid all over again.
I keep re-reading all of your comments and am finding such comfort and encouragement in them. I keep going back to what my friend Erica said, "I am praying for you today - that you will have peace beyond your understanding, hope knowing that the Lord is at work, and rest as you sit back and let the Lord fight this one for you. No matter the outcome, the Lord is carrying you, Jenni. This I know."
I love that image! This is not my battle and I am not in control. How blessed I am to have someone fighting this fight for me!
Why can I not just sit back and rest in Him? I am trying so hard today to give Him every ounce of fear and anxiety and let Him carry me.

Patience is not my virtue

The Lord gave me that promise as found in Exodus 14:14 during my last cycle. "The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." I prayed that verse countless times for myself and now I am praying it for you as well.
Let Him carry you. He's a strong, loving Dad. I know - I don't think my feet have touched the ground in almost 6 months. He's really good like that.
Love ya! :)
God will NEVER leave you empty. If something is taken away, He will replace it with something better. If He denies your request in a certain area, it is because He wishes to give you what is best. If He asks you to put something down, it is so you can pick up something greater!
"The Lord will guide you always; He will satisfy your needs...You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail." Isaiah 58:11
Praying for you today! Love, Court
There are times in our walk with the Lord that we have no other choice but to "be still and KNOW that He is God". I am praying tonight that you will find a comfortable place of stillness and can then rest in who HE is. I know it is not easy - but if you seek Him, HE will create a cozy place of comfort where you can curl up in His lap and allow His arms to comfort and strengthen you. i love you!
Jenni (and Rusty), My mom has kept us updated and we are praying for you guys. I am specifically praying for you Jenni, that the Lord would satisfy you with his unfailing love. We you guys and will continue to lift you before the Father. Laura Bowers
I'll be thinking about ya! To even attempt to go through this again shows how strong you are. You'll get through it, no matter uhat the outcome!
