Angie's Ramblings....

I don't even have a good title for this one. Sometimes you are faced with things in life. Things that have the potential of being something that could totally turn your world upside down, or they could turn out to be nothing. I have a friend that found a lump on her breast a week or so ago. Having to wait, wonder, and worry, until you can find out exactly what it is, can be torturous. It is hard to think, hard to sleep, even hard to work. Prayer suddenly becomes more important than it ever has before. It no longer becomes something you have to make time for, or something you forget about doing, it becomes the number one resource in your life to make it through your day. Other things don't seem as important as they used to, like being able to watch your favorite TV show, or the big mess the kids just made in the kitchen. It is a time of What IF???? In her case, the what if turned out to be nothing. PRAISE GOD!!! Another friend at work, who just finished Chemo, found another lump on her breast, once again, all of the above begins to settle in all over again. She had surgery yesterday, and found out, the lump was merely scar tissue. PRAISE GOD, again. I can't imagine the fear she must of felt wondering if it had come back that quick, and if it had, what that meant for her life. I know that as we face that potential, you really learn what it means to trust God. You truly understand, the importance of prayer, and the strength you need in Christ to help you through life. I know that whatever life throws our way, that as Jesus told Joshua, to Be Bold and Be Courageous, and he also told him that he would never leave him nor forsake him. There is one thing that always remains constant, and that is the word of God. Keep us in prayer, and if you have any prayer requests, please leave them for me, so I can be praying for you.
Love In Christ.
Angie

I will be praying for you guys through this time, particularly that fear will not settle within your hearts. And of course that this will be one of those "nothing" things.

Love you guys.
