Day 335 - Friday

I think I got gypped today.  Normally Fridays are such awesome days with lots of time spent talking with God.  Instead I seemed to just be swimming upstream with everything...

I was helping my ex un law's move today.  They are downsizing their home and moving to a home that has one level.  My ex father un law was diagnosed with a brain tumor earlier this year. The type he was diagnosed with is one of the fastest spreading and most vicious.  I am happy to report that following surgery, and 6 mos from initial diagnosis, and with only one round of chemo, he is showing no signs of new cancer cells in his brain!  This in itself is phenomenal as the type he was diagnosed with is supposedly incurable.  I will say that shortly after being diagnosed he came to Jesus in a profound way and I know that God is behind the fact that he isn't dead yet.  He should have died at least three times by now.

The medicines that he is on though have been messing with him.  While I was up there today he was so confused and disoriented and his movement and speech weren't right.  It turned out, as we found out later today, that they had one of his medication doses too high. Praise God, he should be reasonably back to good in the next day or two!

Also, the young lady that Donna and I ministered to a few days ago had to be hospitalized today due to her suicidal thoughts.  I am not surprised but I am a tiny bit disappointed.  I know God was in the room with us on Tuesday.  I know that He was trying to help us help her.  I know He wants to see her healed.  So I guess I am just going to have to trust in what I know and continue praying for her.

Tonight was our monthly prayer meeting at the church. I was completely looking forward to it.  Spending some time soaking in His presence with my church family.  A friend had called earlier in the afternoon and asked if I could come help her with a gift for her daughter's birthday on Monday.  I said I would come over before prayer and help her.  I was sure I could get it done quickly.  WRONG ANSWER!!!  Two hours later ... and after prayer was already over... we finished the project.  It did turn out well... and it was loving and kind helping her, but I really feel like I missed the best part.  So as soon as I am finished with this I am going to spend some time with the One who loves me best!
