A NEW DAY

I'm NOT a whiner. Really, I'm not. I don't have a negative personality where all I do is sit around and complain. Yesterday was just like that children's book..."Alexander and the terrible horrible no good very bad day"! (Have any of you ever read that?! I haven't in years, but that's exactly what yesterday felt like.)

I talked to my brother on the phone this morning and just like I was telling him - I'll be better once something gets settled about where we're going to move. That's A LOT of stress for anyone to deal with, much less already dealing with the current health situation I've got going on.

Speaking of which, I'm going to see my breast surgeon today for a follow-up appointment. The lymph node they removed during my surgery came back from pathology as being cancerous. Got that news yesterday so that was just like icing on top of the *stress* cake :)

I'm so glad for this particular scripture...

"Great is His faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each day." Lamentations 3:23

Boy, am I ever glad for a NEW DAY! Hope you all enjoy yours :)

  9. You've certainly had ALOT to deal with these days but it's so good to know that God is forever faithful and offers us a fresh new day, everyday, and that he is there with us...often carrying us along the way!

    Michelle, I'm not a whiner either but believe me, I have my days and they've been nothing compared to yours lately. Whine a little if you need to!! No one would question it!

    You are continually in my thoughts and my prayers. Your housing concerns are at the top of my prayer list right now...and God will answer all of these prayers. He knows exactly which house you will move into, where it is, and the date and time you will move in! It's just difficult waiting for him to reveal these to you...but he will!

    Take care friend and talk to you soon!

    Love, Linda

  10. Michelle - don't feel like you have to "be positive" every day. That will add more stress as you know. It's okay to be down and have yourself a pity party. Life has thrown you some major curveballs. Thankfully none of them surprised our GOD! We often wonder, how much more? At least I know I do. And that's when I let myself have a "terrible horrible no good very bad day".

    Glad HIS mercies are new every morning! Praying for you. Trusting God that His heart is good and He will provide all that you need.

    Love to you, my friend-
    Sheryl

  13. Hi Michelle!
    I have been getting caught up and see you have been through so much recently! I seem to have had one of THOSE years as well. Like you I have been dealing with a lOT of uncertainty...but my constant has been believing in my GOD that never changes, never sleeps or slumbers, who ultimately is there...right by your side...every step of the way..(Psalms 121). I don't know what the future holds...but I KNOW who holds the future!

    I pray that GOD who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all we ever ask or can concieve...to Him be the Power and Glory forever will do so for you now...and its okay to not always be UP...

    God bless you in this time of struggle!
