Highs -n- Lows Living with the Disease

Wednesday, November 13th

Another Beautiful Day!  I slept good last night... :-)
I woke up to wheezing and tingling in both feet.  I continue to wait to hear how my blood work came out but no word yet...maybe no news is good news. :-)

Yesterday, grandma Gloria was picked up by a wheelchair van and was brought over to the hospital.  She seems to be settling in. :-)

I was told they only have visiting hours between 1:00pm and 2:30pm and they don't allow anyone under 11 years on the unit.  Today, I thought I'd go up to visit grandma Gloria and on my way back home stop and see grandma Faye...

They are going to do their best to get everything undercontrol for Gloria.  :-) What a journey...

Paul still continues to battle that darn cold/flu :-(   He still doesn't think he needs to go in though. :-(

So thankful for all I can do...

How to Stabilize Wavering Faith

Read | Matthew 21:18-22

Allowing our faith to waver closes us off from God’s blessings. He cannot violate His own principle and answer a doubter’s prayer. In contrast, believers who have chosen steady faith can expect the Lord to give them what they ask—or something even better.

Stabilizing unsteady faith requires two actions. First, decide to believe that the Lord is trustworthy. Insecure feelings are tied to our circumstances, but our mind and heart can be tethered to the Lord instead. “I refuse to doubt my God any longer” should become the battle cry for Christians facing difficulty and pain. When the Deceiver whispers discouragement, we can tell him that we know who our God is and that He will do what He promises. Satan cannot argue with steadfast faith.

Second, get into God’s Word and meditate on His promises. When we ponder the Lord’s assurances, we absorb them into our daily life. As our mind and spirit fill with the Father’s thoughts, we begin to think as He does. Anytime we are feeding on Scripture, whether through a sermon, group Bible study, or personal reading, we should write notes and take time to meditate on the passage. Then, whenever harsh circumstances confront us and our faith begins to waver, we can recall God’s promises and stand firm in our decision to trust Him.

Believers who stabilize their faith pray specifically, in accordance with God’s promises. And from the moment the first prayer goes heavenward, we can live in anticipation of how He is going to answer. Faith is a great adventure.

Another great day to look forward to...
