Ups and downs. No matter what, don't wear a frown.
We live in a very wonderful world that God created for His glory. But in this wonderful world, is the sinful flesh. Because of sin, our flesh dies. But because of Jesus Christ our soul lives.
Lately, more than ever before, I have been a victim of the corruption that sin has on our bodies. My gall bladder went kuhplewie, it got surgically removed. I had a tough recovery, due to my body being sensitive. Then yesterday, I had an eye exam and was told that my left eye had 2 holes in it. Actually, the term Retinal Degeneration is more specific, I am not sure if that is the correct diagnosis in wording. Which can eventually cause a retinal tear or retinal detachment. Both of these are considered eye medical emergencies, if eye start seeing a shower of floaters, a dark fog, or light flashes I have to go to the eye doctor immediately. I have severe nearsightedness, nearsighted people are more susceptible because their eyes are longer than average from front to back, causing the retina to be thinner and more fragile. I did some research and learned that they can do surgery to fix it. But not until it is an emergency. Bummer deal. At least something can be done.
Whelp, I was sad when I first learned of the left eye news. But I know God is in control and He has a plan. Even though I don't know His plan. I am content in that.
Today is a beautiful day that my family and I have been enjoying. We went on a long bike ride, let my nieces doggy out, visited my mom, then we went to the hot dog stand and ate a hot dog and shared a creme soda. It is a great day for a bicycle ride. When we got home, Patrick mowed and weeded the lawn while I swept the mess away. The children got to play outside. Now we have our niece and 2 nephews over for fun and playtime. They are just so adorable. I enjoy having them over. My niece Abigail (7) is the same age as Kelsie, nephew Thad (4), and Elijah (3). So we have two 7year olds, one 5year old (my daughter Lillian), one 4year old, one 3year old, and one 2year old (my son Colin). A blessed house ours is today. Praise the Lord for children.
With the moving progress, I went into the pole barn today and just gazed for a long moment at all of the things we have. Wow! I don't know where to start. I am sure I will figure it out. I did ask the Lord to help me and guide me in what to do with everything. He will answer me soon, I hope.
As far as what I have learned with everything. I am still pondering. I just have to be still and know that God is God, and He is in control. I am so glad. May all the glory and honor go to Him.
