Saturday – See Emmy, Hans, & Guido – & Home again

Note: We’ll be going to Chico December 20-21st for my birthday (Sleepover!)

Today, the lesson at church was all about Spiritual Discipline. It opened my eyes. I even took notes! If you want, read Romans 6:13, 2 Corinthians 5:17, and Galatians 3:27-29. The main things he said that stuck with me is “DAILY consider yourself dead to sin, and alive in Christ.” and “NEVER would anything you do make Jesus love you ANY less.”

The Heart Is The Only Broken Instrument That Works…

I’m not going to go into details. I was given not so good news from the heart doctor. My blood pressure was way too high and my heart is beating too fast. I have to go in to have an ultrasound of my heart done, and get a bunch of bloodwork done too. I go back on the 24th, same day as my ultrasound. Doctor said he wants to see me right after.

And, I thought the insurance approved me going to the Stanford clinic, but it turns out not. So, now we have to do a long drawn out process with Stanford calling the insurance and the insurance calling my primary care doctor and primary care doctor calling Stanford…too confusing for me! At this rate, I might have the surgery by next Christmas. Maybe.

” TRUST in the LORD with ALL your HEART and lean not on your own understanding; in ALL things acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight. ” Proverbs 3: 5-6

I’m just going to keep saying that. Not going to stress about doctors anymore! And it’s time to put my energy back into my school work too. *kicks self in butt* (See Di, now you don’t have to do it for me!):-P 

Speaking of schoolwork…I better go!

My Thoughts On Romans 11:33

Romans 11:33 NKJV

“Oh, what a wonderful God we have! How great are his riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his methods!”

This is one of my favorite verses. It has kept me going throughout my doubts and fears. Sometimes it seems like it would be so much easier to give God the “cold shoulder,” but when I read this, it makes me realize what a big mistake that would be. This verse tells how GREAT our God is, and even though I don’t understand some things (or a lot of things) that he does, that doesn’t mean I should give him the “cold shoulder” through my tough times. Rather, I need to remember what a wonderful God I have. Remember that He knows what he is doing and has plans for me, and it will all work out in the end. It is definitely “impossible to understand His decisions” but if God chooses something I would not of chosen for myself, I need to remember to have faith, not give God the “cold shoulder.”
