Another Beautiful Morning!
Yesterday, was a very long day for me....my day started at 4:30am and I finally made it hone around 8pm.
I had my neurologist appointment at 1:30pm so I left to go up at 11am. Some of the roads were pretty slippery.
On my way up to the U of M I got a call from St Lucus letting me know grandma Gloria stopped eating, drinking and taking her medication, they asked if I could come over.
On my way down from my appointment I stopped at McDonalds to pick up some of Gloria's favorite food.
When I first got there, she was sleeping pretty sound and didn't look very good. I couldn't get her to wake up. So I sat and waited for an hour and I finally got her to wake up and sit up. She ate a hamburger and drank her chocolate milk shake.The nurses aid brought in supper for both Gloria and I...Gloria ate both meals. :-)
Because Gloria hadn't been taking her meds, they asked if it would be alright to have her go into a hospital to get her medication back in order and her legs healed. I was fine with that, she's been battling the sores in her legs long enough...
So at 8am Gloria will be going into the hospital for a few days in Hastings. This facility cares for geriatric patients.
Last night I carried a medium size box of clothing in for Gloria and I dropped it. I almost dropped it four times. :-) I also had to stop and rest several times because I was out of breath...:-( So Sad
I was so wore out by the time I made it home, I took my medication and went to bed. I slept in this morning to almost 7am. I may take a nap before picking up Kaylee from daycare. :-). My body is changing...
I am so thankful for all I can do...

Today's Bible Study
Wavering Faith
Read | James 1:2-8
The often-quoted first chapter of James teaches about responding appropriately to trials. In hard circumstances, the heart is purified and faith strengthened. However, in order to formulate a proper response, we must ask for God’s wisdom. James then slips in a principle: “But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind” (v. 6). In other words, believers shouldn’t vacillate between certainty that the Lord will respond as He has promised and fear that He will not. Wavering faith hinders God’s plan.
Unacknowledged sin is often a cause of wavering faith, as is our tendency to focus on circumstances rather than on Christ. But uncertainty can frequently be traced back to our own weak prayer life. Far too many believers present unspecific requests: “Lord, You know what’s going on with me and what I need. Please give me what I need.” When a believer is unsure of what he is requesting, he simply cannot be confident the Lord will answer.
Sometimes our need is obvious, and we can ask God for it by name immediately. In other circumstances, we must seek His will before we can know how to petition Him: “Father, You promised that if I trusted You and did not lean on my own understanding, You would direct my path. So, I am expecting to receive clear direction from You.” Since God longs for His children to make right choices, He has obligated Himself to show us His will when we ask. Whatever He impresses on your heart, begin to pray specifically and follow through faithfully.
Another great day ahead of me...
