This is a crazy week, medically. Nothing new - just everything at once. Oncologist on Monday, dental appointment on Tuesday, eye injection on Thursday, and in-office procedure at the plastic surgeon on Friday. Needles/incisions, etc., on four out of five days. That’s a lot of office sitting and waiting and recovering. 😀

I tolerate medical stuff pretty well. I don’t tolerate down time as well - I always feel like I’m missing out on my life! But without the down time - the time we need to let our bodies and minds rest - we will not heal. Instead of being frustrated, I am learning to be still and to listen for God’s voice. It is always there, offering comfort and guidance as I get away from the noise of life. 

I am so thankful for a season of rest in the middle of all the medical things, and that we are surrounded by an army of friends and family who are praying and cheering us on! Thankful for a God who is fighting my battles and covering me with His wings of protection. 

"But you will not even need to fight. Take your positions; then stand still and watch the LORD’s victory. He is with you, O people of Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid or discouraged. Go out against them tomorrow, for the LORD is with you!” (‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭20‬:‭17‬ NLT)
