Gigi's Blog

Sorry I didn't blog yesterday.  I've debated on if I should tell you all this stuff or not, but hello, it's me, so I will.  I went to my urologist last week and got a good report, and he scheduled a test for the 18th to sort of monitor me.  The next day Meagan had a terrible asthma attack.  I think the worst she's ever had, so I took her to her asthma Dr.  She told her she had to stay inside for 2 days minimum.  Meagan thought she would die without the life-support she thought necessary from her friends and going places, but she didn't.  Then on Friday, I started having pain and some other symptoms, that I knew the Dr. had told me might be reason for concern.  I had ignored any symptom up until Friday.  But for some reason Friday I shared it with my co-worker, and she told me I had to call my Dr.  I called Mark, who I also hadn't told, and we set off for the Dr.  I think part of the reason I didn't want to tell my Dr. was because I believed he would automatically say "You need surgery" and I wasn't so sure that what was happening was what he might think it was.  So I saw the Dr. and was very relieved when he said "We're going to do tests to find out exactly what's going on".  This let Mark and I breathe and has allowed us to pray and ask others to pray. My IVP is tomorrow, and I'll let you know either tomorrow evening or Thursday, God willing.  This also allowed us to focus on Meagan and also to let Chloe have her twin cousins spend the night.  Saturday I'll admit I was really tired, and I can't tell if my tired is phsyical or mental or both.  We stayed home all day Saturday even though you can't even imagine all we need to do, but I just couldn't do it, and really Mark couldn't either.  Staying home was the best thing, and I don't regret it at all.  Who knows, maybe some day I'll just give up and become a home-body, but I'm still fighting that.  Sunday was a good day, and I thoroughly enjoyed Sunday morning service.  Sometimes things are brought out in service that I've never thought of before.  Sunday morning was that way.  When Roger talked about Jesus being baptized, he said "Why did he do it?  Was is because he had to? No."   I have never pondered this before and was amazed when through this example I was reminded yet again, there's nothing Jesus wouldn't do (except sin) to show us His love.  Chloe woke up Monday throwing up, but by the grace of God she got OK, and went to school.  She wasn't even late.  She said she didn't want to miss school  Not want to miss school?  Who's kid is she anyway?  Oh yes.  Her father's.  Last night was relatively calm.  Meagan is still having some asthma issues, but I'm trying to wait a few days and see if she's better and hopefully not even take her back to the Dr.

This morning, (and every morning) I take exit 14 off of I-85 at 7:57am at the earliest. I turn left and have another light to go through.  When I approach that last light it's always red.  I have a decision to make.  Do I go full speed and assume that by the time I reach the light it will turn green, or do I slowly approach and wait for it to turn green, or do I drive as fast as I possibly can, stop slightly and then floor it when it turns green?  The answer is the latter: go,go,go,go,stop,GO! 

How are you making your decisions in life?  I hope you're not just driving right through a red light and hoping for the best.  When we don't stop and pray and ask God about our life, I think we're gonna get a "ticket" in the form form of consequences.  I have so many times  in life just went full force with something that I just knew had to be right, but it turned out it wasn't, and the results weren't good, and I found myself in a place I didn't want to be. 

Romans 12

Place Your Life Before God

 1-2 So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you
