You are still the same God!

This has been a long week, full of challenges, actually it's been quite a "month". In the last month I have been experiencing challenges that are out of my control.

However, God is in control, and He never changes. Situations and events change in our lives but God is still the same. On Tuesday,I found out I had an abnormal mammogram. On Wednesday, I was scheduled for an emergency ultrasound. On Friday, I was in the surgeon's office. On Monday, I will go for another ultrasound and "possible" biopsy.

But GOD is still the same, and He has been moving on my behalf. The surgeon informed me the 4.7 cm mass on the mammogram had shrunk to approximately 2 cm. As I walk through this "bump" in the road I am reminded that God is still the same! I can trust in Him, the Word of God says, why do you worry about your life? By worrying can you add a single hour? No, our lives are planned out by the Lord, and I don't want to waste the time I have by being consumed by fear.

Manny is my strength, his love for me is boundless, in fact he says his purpose in life is to love me. As I think about God's wisdom and plan for each of us I am reminded of the role we play. We need to have ears to hear what God is telling us.

Last year I went to a Bible Study, called Experiencing God, it changed my life and way of thinking. Then I attended a women's retreat, and God spoke to me. It wasn't "spiritual". It was practical, take care of your health so you can live your life to the fullest. It was that word that prompted me to have the mammogram.

As I walk through this new season of life, I acknowledge once again that I am not in control. But God is faithful and I can walk hand in hand with Him. Knowing and believing that He never changes, but is the same God, today and forever.
