Faith against all else
With the turning of the New Year, we have resolved to believe that God will, indeed, pull her out of this. We believe. No more wondering. No more guessing at "God's will." God has given both of us very specific scriptures, leading us to believe that He will come through.
In Luke 8:50, after Jesus' robe is touched by the bleeding woman, Jairus' friends come to tell him that he has no need of Jesus anymore...his daughter is dead. Jesus turned to him and said, "Don't be afraid; just believe and she will be healed." God showed that to me one morning several months ago, telling me not to worry and instead to believe in Him.
Psalm 41:3 says, "I [God] will sustain you on your sickbed; I will restore you from your bed of illness." Jeseca got this from God two years ago, and she has clung to it ever since. There are others, but these really stand out as clear messages from God. So we stand in faith against all else, and will remain true to God because He deserves nothing less.
Two more items before I go to bed...First, I'm so eager to play competitive golf. I'm continuing to improve all aspects of my short game and can't wait to get my equipment right. I just can't wait to compete again. I seriously need to pursue getting some sponsors for entry fees.
And second, as if to provide a bit of comic relief, I need to see a urologist this week to find out if I have something in common with Lance Armstrong and John Kruk. That'll be fun. I'll keep you posted. In the meantime, God rocks, and Jeseca is going to be fine. (I don't know when, but it's coming!) JG
