No matter how small the trouble we are facing today our Father knows. He isn't allowing this suffering for no reason. It is all for a greater purpose that we cannot yet understand. He is not wanting to lose anyone and He is giving everyone a chance to choose to love Him. He watches our world tearing itself a part in agony. He will act at the very right time. Be ready. Love Him now. He gave everything for you. He knows your every day.
My days have been good. I am miraculously pain free today with no drugs at all. You must know I was on pretty heavy duty stuff for the past few weeks. Before the diagnosis I was in constant pain day and night. I did not have anything but regular Advil/Tylenol and this did not do the job. But today, I am pain free with lots of energy. The prayer is reaching the Father. He hears everyone. A friend told me that a special group is taking my plight to the Wall in Israel. They are going to pray for me there. I am one so small, but loved by an ocean of friends whose love is washing over us.
A new friend has taken care of raking all the brilliant yellow leaves from the big maple at the front of our house. (Got a wonderful family photo under this tree on Sunday before the leaves were gone- thank you Elizabeth) They were all down today, so our friend came and got the rest. He reminded us that many of you want to help but don't know how. We will ask for what we need and are getting better at this. We have realized that none of us are alone. We are so much better together.
Next week I will be going for genetic testing to try to look into my body and answer the mystery of why. Thank God for these minds He has created to research to inquire. Thank God for Canada. Our freedom is what moves us to be brave enough to ask the question why. Keep up the fight for freedom because it saves us all. Every victory belongs to Jesus. The creator of freedom - even when it's cost is hard to bear.
Thank you Jeremy Camp for being led by God's spirit to pen such powerful words in the song linked above. He has walked this suffering and He Knows.
Love, Lee
Celebrating his grace each day and praying for strength and a sense of his presence in the journey. With much love, Dorrie
