I find comfort in this verse, especially during my days overcome with sickness. Let's take a moment to break this verse down.....

---In this world...... This is our place to be right now, but it is temporary
---You.... that includes everyone and excludes no one
---Will..... not maybe or might
---Have trouble.... hardship in some shape or form is a burden for us to bear
---But take heart.... there is hope to be found
---I.....God alone is that hope
---Have......its alread been done and our debt paid in full
---Overcome the world...... death has no sting, victory has been won.

When I am seriously sick, my thoughts become more focused on my immortality and the next step. I think about the frailty of this body that's carrying my soul around. I am blessed to have fight left in me but more than that, a hope that sustains me. Trouble will hit me but my faith will not break. May God use me in whatever way He deems best for His glory.

Where ya been?

I've been in the hospital from April 23rd to the 27th and am home now. I'm still recovering from my bout with 'almost pneumonia'. I've had many more visitors than this picture, but I don't have the energy to post them. I appreciate all your thoughts and prayers. I thank my parents, Charlene and Karla for the round the clock care.

Patience

Let me begin with a little squirrel talk. Our dog, Jack, loves to chase squirrels and yet has never caught one. He never loses his love for the chase but I wonder if he gets frustrated with himself?
I think we can often recognize when we lose our patience with others, but do we see the extra needed patience with ourselves? Someday, I want to just run out the door on a moment's notice without a checklist of health issues. If I am impatient with myself, it usually comes back to bite me. Like if I ignore a cough before going somewhere, it'll get worse and cause me to leave early. Patience with myself has been learned, but yet never mastered. Waiting is better than rushing, or so I have found.
I am overwhelmed by God's patience with me. I think we should be understanding with our flaws and imperfections within us because God is.
