While Blog cruisin' this am, I happened to catch up on my fave - Beth Moore (you can find her here: www.livingproofministries.blogspot.com). And her writing from Monday was so profound. Let me share a small portion with you.

"Girlfriends, Jesus is so worthy of our trust no matter what has taken us by surprise. Picture that, when the enemy asks for a little extra access to you, the only reason why God may have given him permission is because He knew you'd prove faithful. Do the thing. In the unseen realm, angels are cheering and demons are jeering. You are in the stadium and the bleachers are full. (Hebrews 12:1) Take one for the team if you have to. Be strong and courageous. Be willing to show people how it's done. Don't look for a leader. You are the leader. People are looking to you. Be deliberate. Make sure they see Jesus. We're not here all that long and then there's BLISS. Forever bliss. Till then, we're over our heads. But we can dang-well decide what kind of over-our-heads we're gonna be."

Wow! That puts major new perspective on the trials I've faced. God knew I'd prove faithful. Seriously? Wow! And ya know, I'm not in that stadium alone! I'm am in there with The King Almighty!! Jesus Christ! Isn't He ALWAYS faithful!! Even when I don't feel I can be. And that BLISS, oh that wonderful BLISS that is to follow!!

Speaking of the Bliss to follow, my BomBom is back in the hospital. That darned chemo is really gettin' her down. Her white count dropped and she hasn't been able to hold anything down. My Momma and Sissy are coming up this afternoon and we're gonna go to Joplin to visit with her. Just say a little prayer for her today. I know it's getting close to her time to enter that everlasting Bliss and honestly it's not her I'm worried about. I know where she will be and I know she will be without pain and suffering and I want that for her right now. She is so weak and miserable. But, I do worry about some of our family. There are a couple people that I just worry if and how they'll be able to handle her passing. I hope (and trust me, I'll tell them) they know to cling to our Heavenly Father and will turn to Him for peace and comfort. As you say a prayer for my precious BomBom, please ask for favor on our family. I pray that we are pulled together this Holiday season no matter what does or doesn't happen.
