Monday, November 4th
Another beautiful morning...
Well, yesterday I changed my mind and decided to go to church. I won't let my illnesses rule my life. After church Paul and I went out for breakfast... :-)
Today, Paul, Kris and I are moving grandma Gloria into the St. Lucas nursing home memory care unit. Her legs continue to swell and she has sores again. :-( We are going over at around 9am so I can show Paul and Kris where her room is in St. Lucas. Kaylee and I are planning on eating lunch with grandma Gloria and while we are eating Paul and Kris will move her things over. After eating I have a wheelchair van coming to take grandma over. Kaylee and I will be at the nursing home to meet grandma Gloria when she arrives. I am planning on going over again tomorrow and maybe Thursday. :-) Please pray for a smooth transition. :-)
I will be calling Dr Danning tomorrow to let her know how I am doing. Please pray for all my mouth sores to go away. This is the longest I've had them. I've gotten them off and on since my diagnosis but I've been able to get rid of them on my own...
I am so thankful for all I can do...

Today's Bible Study
God Reveals His Presence
Read | Psalm 42:1-5
How does the Lord make His presence known in the lives of His children? Although this question does not have a simple “one size fits all” answer, there are several general ways in which God chooses to reveal Himself.
For example, He may wake you from a deep sleep in the middle of the night. Many times I have sat straight up in bed, knowing for certain that Jesus was right there with me, giving me answers to some serious questions from the day. Did I see Him or hear a voice? No. But did I know He was there? Absolutely.
God also makes His presence known by giving instantaneous guidance. Each step of the way, decision after decision, He leads us where He wants us to go.
And quite often the Lord will show Himself by giving such a clear word that you know beyond any doubt that it was from Him. How many times have you been reading a Scripture passage when suddenly a light seemed to flip on in your mind? God’s Holy Spirit can bring sudden understanding of a new truth, or clearly reveal the solution to a hard decision.
Another way that God reveals Himself is through life’s tragedies. Can you think of a time when you were so sorrowful that you couldn’t even move—but then somehow found the strength and courage to go on, despite the pain? You may even have marveled at discovering your strength and wondered where it came from. It was from the One who is always within, always empowering. All we have to do is say, “Lord, I need You at this moment.” And He is there—always.
Another great day!
