Wednesday, November 12...

This is an early post, but I had to get this out...because quite frankly, I am struggling here...

I called A's kidney doctor and all the test results were NORMAL. I am so thankful, but also so confused. We have a follow up appointment on November 25...so is everything okay or not. When I mentioned this to B and said I don't understand, he grinned and pointed up. Yes, it is a God thing! :)

Here is where I am struggling...why can't I just accept this happily and move on. Why is my heart not settled? Lack of faith? Lack of trust?

I heard this song on the radio this morning. You can listen here on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7m5MU5qx7U or here are the lyrics to In Christ Alone.

In Christ alone will I glory
Though I could pride myself in battles won
For I've been blessed beyond measure
And His grace strength alone I overcome
Oh, I could stop and count successes
Like diamonds in my hand
But those trophies could not equal
To the grace by which I stand

Chorus:In Christ alone
I place my trust
And find my glory
In the power of the cross
In every victory
Let it be said of me
My source of strength
My source of hope
Is Christ alone

In Christ alone will I glory
For only by His grace I am redeemed
And only His tender mercy
Could reach beyond my weakness to my need
Now I seek no greater honor
Than just to know Him more
And to count my gains, but losses
To glory of my Lord

My source of strength
My source of hope
Is Christ alone

My prayer...In EVERY victory, let it be said of ME my source of STRENGTH, my source of HOPE is CHRIST Alone!

Cautiously rejoicing and praying I get over that!!!!!!
