Waiting: October 13,14

(See below for October 14th)

Thanks to those who are praying for me - it's working! I am calm and have been receiving encouragement from many people!

October 13: Preparing for my appointment with the substitute GP tomorrow. Checking out local private clinics that give ultrasounds and MRIs. Want to ask the doc about this possibility. (Usually the clinics need a physician's referral.) Heard this afternoon about a clinic across the line, so have added that to the list. Also making a list of questions as to what happens after the test results. Went to the Ladies Missions Group today where I always receive a warm welcome from the other ladies. Swapped prayer concerns with some of them. Great that we can pray for each other. Also, praying for others sometimes keeps our/my mind off our/my own issues. Still have not heard about ultrasound appointment at Delta hospital yet. Feeling upbeat today, despite the RAIN!

Scripture this morning: Matthew 1:23 "The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" (which means "God with us")."
Thank you Lord that you are with me, especially during times of trials. You make your presence known to me through answered prayer and the kind actions of others!

Scripture this afternoon: Psalm 62:1-2, 8 "Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken! . . . Trust in him at all times, you people, pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge."
YES! Who else can provide my rest? Only Him who has the power to control the diagnostic machine and the specialists who read the results. My trust is in Him!
Another version for verse 1 says: "I wait quietly before God . . . "
Yes, I am waiting and resting quietly - no ranting or raving, right now!

More Scripture this afternoon: Psalm 34:1,4,19 "I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips . . . I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears . . . The righteous may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers them from them all."
Thank you Lord Jesus for deliverance!

October 14th: Feeling calm and prepared for appointment with GP's substitute.
Hooray! The doc was very agreeable. Answered my "what if" and "then what" questions. AND, made some calls and I now have an appointment for the ultrasound at Peace Arch Hospital this Tues, the 20th. Hooray! Thank you God for going before me to pave the way for the process to move along! Thanks for answering prayers! God is GREAT!
