"Bloom Where You Are Planted"

Anyone who knows my daughter, knows that she is epitome of perseverance. As Webster defines it, perseverance is “steadfastness in doing something despite the difficulty or delay in achieving success”. When you have a brain tumor and you don’t want to be just another statistic, you have choices to make. You can take your health into your own hands and fight to learn and do all you can for yourself. Or you can just let the doctors lead you along at their pace with what ever level of personal attention they are willing to give you. Regardless of your path, the reality is that the God we serve is the Great Physician. I could not be more proud of how our daughter continues to fight the fight, doing what she can to help herself. But, more than that, I am so thankful that she knows God and knows that He is her true source of life. Her faith and trust in God to be with her each step of her journey allows a mom, who is too far away to help her, some peace. We know that her testimony of God’s faithfulness has reached out and touched many lives for eternity. She is an inspiration as she perseveres with the determination not many have.

APPROACH THIS DAY WITH AWARENESS
OF WHO IS BOSS. As you make plans for the day,
remember that it is I who orchestrate the events of your life.
On days when things go smoothly, according to your plans,
you may be unaware of My sovereign Presence. On days
when your plans are thwarted, be on the lookout for Me! I
may be doing something important in your life, something
quite different from what you expected. It is essential at such
times to stay in communication with Me, accepting My way
as better than yours. Don’t try to figure out what is happening.
Simply trust Me and thank Me in advance for the good
that will come out of it all. I know the plans I have for you,
and they are good.
