"Those who go down to the sea in ships, who do business on great waters; they have seen the works of the Lord, and His wonders in the deep." Psalm 107:23-24
"This is the reason that [God] often brings His people into problems and difficulties, so that, being made conscious of their own folly and weakness, they may be fitted to behold the majesty of God when He comes forth to work their deliverance. He whose life is one even, smooth path will see only a little of the glory of the Lord, for he has few occasions of self-emptying . . . Those who navigate little streams and shallow creeks know little of the God of tempests, but those who 'do business on great waters' see 'His wonders in the deep.' Among the huge Atlantic waves of bereavement, poverty, temptation, and reproach, we learn the power of Jehovah, because we feel the inadequacy of man. Thank God, then, if you have been led by a rough road. It is this that has given you your experience of God's greatness and lovingkindness. Your troubles have enriched you with a wealth of knowledge to be gained by no other means. Your trials have been the cleft of the rock in which Jehovah has set you, as He did His servant Moses, so that you might behold His glory as it passes by." ~ Oswald Chambers

My friend shared that today....I have no other words to go along with it. It's so deep & true.

I was able to go to lunch with some of my college friends as we are still celebrating our friend Charlene being here this week. I'm going to miss her when she goes back home, she is such a dear friend.
me, Charlene Leslie and Laurie

Fun day with "the girls" We ate at Cracker Barrel All morning I thought about what I was going to order....so I worked out really hard this morning. Don't know if it evened out but I tried! I loved the fried okra and shrimp anyhow!

Selah is still a bit "off" thankfully she started her monthly med tonight. We can only get it in Brandon, a 45 plus mile drive. But we are so grateful for Bill's Pharmacy there. Tonight they were so good to us. There was some issue with our insurance and they didn't' even want us to pay. We did anyhow just in case it was a mistake and we owed it. We figure it will be worked out. They are just an amazing pharmacy!
Selah almost had a storm this morning and nothing was going on. That's the main reason I think she is not feeling good. Everything is a bit off with her. I'm hoping this medicine will kick out whatever is going on with her. It is usually a trach infection.
Steve told us he dreamed that Selah was back to normal... it's just so odd to me the amount of people who dream about her and ALWAYS that she is back to normal. I dream it about every week or so. It's upsetting to me when I wake up but great when I'm sleeping. Dreams are odd to me as I usually don't remember my dreams so when I do, it's almost scary to me. But I have friends contact me all the time saying they've dreamed about Selah
PLEASE keep her in your prayers. We'd love to see some of these dreams come true!
Love cracker barrel - best comfort food :) I would be so happy to see those dreams happen happen for all of you especially little Selah - continuing prayers.
ReplyDeleteI love Bill's Pharmacy, too. We had to go there during our visit down there recently and as always, they were so kind and hospitable. Mary Noriega is the best, too. I'll never forget the encouragement she provided me when I was experiencing fertility issues before I finally became and stayed pregnant with my daughter.
