Amy's 'momentary trouble'

Does anyone remember what the biggest news story of 1999 was? It pretty much started in January of that year and as fall and winter approached, it really snowballed and took on a life of its own…Y2K, the year two thousand. What would it do to computers world wide? Would the fact that programmers and developers, lacking the foresight to properly configure Date and Time entry to handle a new century or to accept 4-digit entry of the year, cause the electronic world as we know it to grind to a halt? Would we loose power, lose our money, lose our jobs? As we all retrospectively now know, with the exception of a few power glitches (that may or may not have had anything to do with Y2K), and after waiting with baited breath, the year 2000 came and we still had power, we didn’t lose our money or investments and Y2K actually created jobs. These things happen, we see trouble approaching on the horizon and we tend to get all tied up in knots about something that hasn’t yet happened and even if it does, can’t control it anyway. Amy and I are waiting until this Thursday when she will have another CT Scan done to look at the tumor and see if the treatments, in which she endured, had any effect on shrinking it. We will wait again until the following Tuesday to actually find out the results of that scan. As I have stated in my last few postings, Amy has been experiencing increasing stomach pains for the past 4 or 5 days, we don’t know if it’s related or not, but I’m sure you can imagine the thoughts that have entered our minds, is it trouble we see on the horizon, or is it just meaningless overcast clouds? Either way, there’s nothing we can do about it…except pray and hold to our faith in God and His plan for us in all of this. We try VERY hard not to get tied up in knots, and sometimes we even succeed. In Philippians 4:6, we are told, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God." and in Luke 12:22-26, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?"

Even through our fears we know we are not alone, our friends and family are there for us when they can be and when we need them, but He is always there, through the pain, through the tears which He holds in His hand...He will never leave us.
