So here I am at home. My
trip had to be canceled. My sister that I was to meet today in
Norman, Oklahoma fell, and broke a hip, and fractured a shoulder last
night. I got the call this morning about an hour before I was to
leave. I had almost everything loaded. This baby sister of mine is
just 68 but she had just been released from ICU about three weeks ago
with a stomach virus, and in a run-down condition. She was still very
weak. Last night when she carried her trash out she fell in the yard,
no doubt she was too weak yet to be doing that. She is having surgery
today, and is suppose to go home Sunday. I am more than sad that this
happened to her. I was going to see her mostly to cheer her up, and
bring on the laughs. God does all things well, so I will not question
Him on this one. I believe she will come through this, and be
stronger than before. She told me a few days ago that she will never
give up. I got to admire her courage, and determination to help
others even if she has to sacrifice her own body. I went on to the
luncheon at the Center today, but my heart was breaking. Thank God
for friends there who helped me feel better. I can't go to be with my
sister now, because I don't drive in big cities that I am not
familiar with, but she has family with her, and I will go as soon as
possible. God help us to be patient.
I could have gone to
another place to just get away for a day or two, but I did not want
to leave my home after this awful thing happened. My spirit will stay
with my sister although I will not be there in body. I plan on going
to church Sunday, and maybe that's where I should have been going all
the time. When God closes one door He opens another. Lately I have
been wishy-washy about church. I can't seem to distinguish between
where I should be going. I've been trying hard to find peace in my
church again. A lot of discouragement is happening there, as in most
all churches today, and I have tried to find a place where I could
feel happy. To say the least I am living entirely by faith at this
time. Taking things one day at a time. I have been blessed extremely
these past few months, and I don't understand why I am having these
difficult times now trying to find God's will for my life. I still
believe there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I will
travel on until I reach it. I will let you know when I get there.
God Bless
