“And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.”  Philippians 4:19  NLT


Minor surgery restricted my normal activity yesterday. Once the biopsies, surgical preparation, incisions, and suturing are done, then it is time for the healing. I try to embrace this time as a gift, as I have often said to the many patients coming through my clinic. I would never wish illness on anyone, but when Life grabs our attention and suddenly causes everything to come to a halt, then it can be an excellent opportunity to stop and take stock of where we are on the journey.

The nicest part of resting at home yesterday was being able to spend the day with Famous. He is a great part of my healing process when I might otherwise feel disheartened by the turn of events. He did not give a second look to the bandage on the side of my head. He was happy to chill with me while we let the rest of the busy world go by for once. I knew that in just a few days I would be back in the race.

When we face the times that are different, stressful, and uncertain, remember God has already prepared the  resources that will see us through.


Help me to completely believe today that You will care for all my needs.
