Wait For It



Isaiah 55:9 (KJV) For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

I once sat and waited for an outgoing flight from Chicago-O’Hare Airport to Wichita for 15 hours, on my way back from a post-radiation checkup. My chest was covered in blisters; I was bra-less and more than a little “relaxed” from painkillers. Flight delays seem interminable.

Delay is not necessarily a negative thing. The word does seem to have a bad reputation. Instant gratification is just that, and gone in a flash.

Demonstrating restraint is a great virtue to practice and it has a wonderful side benefit. Others will see what your labor and receive a blessing, or at the very least, food for thought.

Give God the opportunity to work in your life, before you take the lead. Allow Him to accomplish the unknown and absolute best for you.

Health Update: I am slowly regaining strength after my illness and hospitalization. I worked a full day today; the first time in over two weeks. Mom has opened her home to me, so I don’t have to commute from Ark City. Such a blessing! Missing The Hubster like crazy, though! I am humbled and grateful for the prayers and support. Thank you!

Female in Motion Health Update

I am at Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Zion, IL, tonight. I flew in last night, spent all day in the waiting room and appointments. I have a headache, my feet hurt, my burns hurt and I'm exhausted. Man, I hate it when I'm whiny. The good news is, I'm doing well. As Dr. Citrin put it, I'm one tough woman. He was shocked that I was able to travel so soon after finishing radiation. He took one look at the burns under my arm and prescribed some aloe vera gel with lidocaine and some pain meds to help me sleep.  I will start Arimidex this week, too. In the bad news department, I am not in any state of mind to write tonight. I have to be up early in the morning to catch a flight home, so I will say good night and God bless each and every one of you: for your prayers, for your support, for being you. As I promised, I will post the piece I've been working on very soon. Thanks for understanding. *** Notable Quote:  " John 14:27 (KJV) Peace I leave w...

I Can't Get No Satisfaction

Too much of a good thing is not good at all!  When I was a kid of six or eight, I had an obsession. It was a food obsession, particularly with Chicken in a Biskit crackers. It was a doomed relationship from the start, because even at that tender age, I realized the glaring spelling error. I found a box of those crackers in the cabinet one day, quietly put them under my shirt, and slipped downstairs to the family room, where I proceeded to watch Major Astro and eat the entire box . It wasn't much later when my tummy started to protest. Too much of a good thing was definitely not a good thing. After spending several hours in the bathroom that evening, I learned a valuable lesson: Even the best food doesn't taste good in reverse. Since that day, even the sight of one of those crackers makes me  slightly nauseated. I can't go near them. Seems like a lot of us are looking for something to fill in the nooks and crannies of our lives. The temporary satisfaction that an...
