Eddie and Martha Marie Smith

Yesterday I called Emory to once again be told they still didn’t have an appointment for me.  Soooo frustrating!  I did express my frustration to them (in a nice way…somewhat :), which got me connected to a nurse who is in charge of scheduling.  She gave me her word that on Monday we would definitely have an appointment. 

After I got off the phone with Emory I have to admit that I was very tempted to take matters in my own hands.  We have other connections…other options we could explore, but just as I was about to pick up the phone and start my own investigation of doctors I felt the Lord remind me that this was in His timing and not my own…..His thoughts and ways are better.  I felt reminded of Abraham and Sarah when they took matters in their own hands after God promised them a child but they did not see any inclination of it so they tried to help God…..we as humans always mess up when we try to “help” God……

I once again feel a peace about all of this…no, it’s not in my preferred timing, and I really want to rush it forward, but God knows the exact details that need to be in place for me and I need to trust Him with His timing……in every way this situation has been a journey in trust, in giving God everything and leaving it in His hands.   So that’s where we’ll leave it until yet again I’m sure I will try to take it back in my control and have to once again give it back to Him……thank goodness God is patient with me! 

So…..Monday THERE WILL BE NEWS….Lord willing.
