Have you wondered where I have been or has it been nice for you to take a break from my "thoughts" and "observations?"
It has been a crazy week. Admittedly, the reason I was not writing was because I was so busy "getting things done." And I did get so much done - around the house, errands, etc. In the back of my mind I probably knew I was doing too much. I was so busy I was not even in His Word enough. Let's me say: "God, I have learned the lesson.". (Famous last words...)
In one of my previous blogs or emails I mentioned how my immunity system is down and I really have to watch my exposure to germs. IT IS TRUE!!! While just a common cold for most, it turns into a long process for liver patients.
I had to go to my GP for him to tell me I had a cold and presribe me a nasal spray, an antibiotic and something else (it is all a blur - this is about the time Clay can answer your questions better). Then it is a trek to the medical center for an appointment with my liver doctor. I was so so tired and sick I laid on that uncomfortable examination table and attempted sleep. Dr Galati would not let me have one of the GP's medications because the other would really affect my liver badly.
I have been in bed since - not able to lift a finger until about an hour ago.
Let me say a big thank you to Clay. This is all new to him and he has been a trooper. It cannot be easy having to be "Mr. Mom" on a moment's notice." He even missed his Member's Championship this weekend! So if you see him, please let him know he is appreciated - and maybe offer to go play a little golf with him. :):)
From the notes of the Life Application Bible for Joshua 3:9: "Just before crossing over into the Promised Land, Joshua gathered the people to hear what the Lord thier God had said. Their excitement was high. No doubt they wanted to rush on, but Joshua made them stop and listen. We live in a fast-paced age. We feel we have to rush just to keep up. It is easy to get caught up in our tasks, becoming too busy for what God says is most important - taking time to hear from him. Before making your schedule, take time to focus on what God wants from all your activities. Knowing what God has said before you rush into your day may help you avoid foolish mistakes."

I am so grateful to see a blog from you again. I check multiple times a day, waiting to hear how things are going for you. I am thinking of you non-stop. I pray you are getting through the cold, and on your way to feeling refreshed again. Your "life lessons" are meaningful, and very well received. I hope this week finds you with more energy and renewed patience. XOXO Liz
ReplyDeleteDear Dawn, I missed my bible study last week yet when I got the prayer list you were on it. I want you to know that you can count on prayers and if there is anything I can do to help you, please call me. Meals, kid pick up, grocery – anything that could help you and Clay. Hugs and prayers, Heidi
