I have been thinking today, how no matter what we do or plan, the Lord is in control and he is always working for our good.
On Wednesday this week, I went to the doctor for my last check-up. It has been 4 weeks since my surgery and since we are suppose to return on November 2nd, I wanted to make sure there was time in case he wanted me to do anything else...of course we never expect there to be "anything else".
Well, my blood pressure was up at the office and my doctor didn't really think it was anything to worry about it...he asked if I had a way to monitor it at home, or if I could go to Walmart or somewhere and take it a couple times, later. Well, since my Dad has a monitor, I told him I could do it at home. So he told me to take it later in the evening, and the next day. Well, when I took it it was still high. So now I have an appointment with a General Practitioner on the 28th. I was a little frustrated last night with all of this...and then I started thinking this morning, how gracious the Lord is to us! This could have been something that went undetected and have caused a stroke or heart attack.
I am grateful that God is in control, that he works all things for our good. So tonight as I write this, I'm resting in the wonderful truth that He is in control!
Thank you for your prayers. We have plans to travel next week... will are suppose to be in 4 different churches during the next couple weeks. My recovery has gone pretty well. Please continue to pray that we will get my blood pressure problem under control.
I am praying that you see God's blessings on your life as you serve him.
Joy
