A No for Today

My sweet friend, Mackenzie, had a great status on Facebook a couple of days ago.  It said,
 When God gives you a "No" Give Him a "Thank You".  He was protecting from less than His best!

Such a good quote and one that I really needed.  Today I received a "No".  I didn't receive a diagnosis today.   The illness that the doctors were looking at at my last visit has now been ruled out.  Now the doctors are testing me for new things.  I had 12 vials of blood taken.  My Dad jokes that I might not have much blood left for testing!  These particular tests have to be sent to Rochester.  So, you know what that means?  More waiting.  I have my next appointment in a week and a half.
So, how am I feeling?  I have good days, and not so good days.  Somedays I have more energy than others and sometimes my whole body seems to ache.  The ever present pressure is ever present.  I'm thankful for a great family that is taking care of me.  They are the best!  And I have terrific news!  My Mam-maw arrived in Florida today, so I look forward to some loving care from her.

So, I have to say, Thank you Lord for protecting me from less than your best.  He loves me so much and is doing the very best for me.  Even when I don't quite understand it, I still see His hand working in my life.  For His presence, I am so grateful!

  1. Still praying, Bro. Patrick and Mrs. Kami. Even though your trial isn't over yet, I know God is using it to His honor and glory. You won't know until Heaven the effect your illness and sweet spirit have had around the world.
