Thanks so much for stopping by. My hope is that you will be encouraged and comforted by traveling with us on this adventure as you see how God can take the challenges of life to assure us of the living hope that is available by faith to us all through Jesus Christ.

Thanks, also, to each of you who have personally ministered to me and my family through your thoughts, prayers of faith, visits, messages, many acts of kindness and words of encouragement, especially during those dark days, and then for the long haul during my extended recovery season.

Bumps in the road

Our lesson today was: there are bumps in the road to healing.  This week Hu had noticed some significant changes in the way he felt so we were advised to make an appointment with his doctor.  After tests the doctor couldn't find the cause of the changes and told us it was "just a bump in the road".

This afternoon Hu was evaluated by a new therapist who will be working with him for a while.  We were discussing the week's events related to his changes, and she began to tell us about the "bumps in the road" to healing!  We thought that it was interesting that we heard the same theme from two medical people within the course of an hour.  Hu has experienced slow healing but "bumps in the road" while healing are new to us.

As I was mulling this over later in the day, I began to think about my spiritual life.  How often I have experienced "bumps in the road".  It isn't cause to give up or fret about, but an opportunity to take it to Christ and see how He will guide me over "the bumps".  He is faithful and my job is to trust Him to show me the way -- just like we learned from the medical people today.

You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.  Psa. 16:11
