A Stone in the Path

It is said that through this life we are walking down a path. Sometimes it winds, and bends, sometimes it is an easy walk, while other times it seems all uphill and sometimes there are pebbles or stones in the way. I have had one amazing year in 2010. I've been blessed with an awesome job, have traveled to many places this year, Kevin and I are in a great place, I've started school for my BSN and am truly at a great place in my life. I have lost 26lbs in the last 3 months and am at an all time awesome fitness level and have been eating an awesome healthy diet. SO....for my stone. I had my annual check up yesterday. I got some not so great test results. I do not know too much at this point, but I know enough to be concerned. I now have to see a Cardiologist (heart doctor) and a Nephrologist (kidney doctor) for further investigation on some things that came up. Please pray for me. The long term effects of high dose chemotherapy and intense radiation to my abdomen and chest are starting to show their faces and I don't like it. I know that God has great plans for me and that He is protecting me.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. The courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as a pathway to peace; taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His will.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding ....in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.

Lord....I trust you, and I know this stone is just a pebble in your eyes, help me to continue to praise you through this storm!
