Listen here, missy!

caroline & i would like to thank each of you

that sent get well

& happy birthday wishes!!

i can't tell you how much your words mean to me

caroline will head over to see the specialist on monday
so hopefully we'll start to get some answers & help for my cutie

the last several days i was so frustrated with myself

several things had all occured simultaneously

& that just 'bout did me in

i was already all knotted up

worried about a screening test dan was to have this week

screening for one of the several cancers his mom had fought

but i should know better

this frustration & fear thing with medical issues

i have allowed to creep in & take up residence in my soul

robbing me of joy & peace

oh yes

it's my fault indeed

i should know better by now

anyways
everything else just piled up ontop of my already fragile spirit

dan's test was fine
he's aok
but i need to remind myself
that we'd be aok no matter what

there is a scripture that i love
joshua 1.9
"Have I not commanded you?
Be strong & courageous.
Do not be terrified
do not be discouraged
for the Lord your God
will be with you
wherever you go"

that's right
wherever i go...

my hero Beth Moore once said
that the "have i not commanded you"
is like the lord saying
"LISTEN HERE, MISSY!"

i love that

we're commanded not to fear
we're promised He will be with us

why i can't get this nailed down in my fragile spirit
is a constant source of frustration

i have my own screening test coming up soon

for an issue i've been dealing with for a couple of years

think its time

i listened up

{~~~caroline finally felt the best she has in days

so yesterday

we ran out to one of my fave places & snapped up

a couple hundred shots

darn it, if she's not a trooper

than i don't know who is~~~}

now

listen here missies

don't let anything

rob YOU

of your joy & your peace

ps....i've already received a few emails....the ginormous flower is from Anthropologie! :)
