I like your plan for switching it around because these are precious and taking Scripture and either making it a letter from God, or how you used to interact with your own thoughts, I really LOVE too! It reaches us where we are... Fan the Flame is good too! <br /><br />I sent an email to remove my Giving Thanks Challenge button since Joan (and others are doing it)I won't be hosting one!<br /><br />Best to you again... mePeggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07178137619890142365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-71837643405347769912011-10-27T11:33:38.429-07:002011-10-27T11:33:38.429-07:00AMEN and blessings Sharon...I have to third that a...AMEN and blessings Sharon...I have to third that accolade of how much this "oozes with your love of Jesus," His comfort for you and "your oneness with Him"... <br /><br />Having just gone through a very similar circumstance this week, right here, and coming out of the 'battle', weather worn but victorious ... I hope that the pain has passed for good... and I am being reformed... to drink lots of water. Yet being in a foreign country, I just did not want to trust the medical professionals<br />and counted on God ... <br /><br />All of your vulnerabilities (feelings shared), I felt... so much so my blood pressure was incredibly high 169/105, 149/98 and 159/92. If my results did not show some of the problem, I too would have to have an ultra sound... and that's not so bad(except maybe cost)but sitting ALONE with your own thoughts racing to the worse case scenarios(like my dogs trapped at home with no one)(lol)WAITING!!! <br /><br />But then you and God come through with personalizing Romans 8:38-39. YEAH!!! I saw Him squeeze your hand and hold it. I'm thanking Him that your results are negative! I'm praising Him that the pain does pass, even the 'getting older ones' for women... yet God is ever so faithful!<br /><br />You inspire me! <br /><br />I'm glad I came after everyone else... so I could share (and write my typical book response)<br /><br />When I am ALONE (which I am daily) I depend on that touch from God! I can go outside and escape being alone, but yet I choose to spend this time<br />allowing God to sort me out, help me out and speak ever so tenderly... The best part is when<br />HE DOES like He did for you and then you turn it around into your testimony to use for His glory!<br /><br />Nothing better than filling your thoughts with God's thoughts for you when you 'feel' alone but it's even better when God touches you, especially through sisters in Christ, true friends that embrace and help you through to the victory! Praying...<br /><br />Love,<br />PeggyPeggyhttp://mazmagi.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-18379579213326839272011-10-25T23:44:46.009-07:002011-10-25T23:44:46.009-07:00Sharon,

In the darkened room, you felt His light that banished every fear. Praise God for His presence--and for His healing touch. Glad the results were good.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />JanisJanis Van Keurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07291628430833626275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-83511366521362214632011-10-25T22:00:06.579-07:002011-10-25T22:00:06.579-07:00Absolutely love it!

I find myself humming some of my favorite hymns in my lonely, scared times. "How Great Thou Art" is one that always comes to me. <br /><br />I agree - Romans 8:38-39 is an AWESOME, empowering passage to commit to memory.<br /><br />And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:17-19 is pretty awesome too. If he loves us THAT much, we're never alone or forsaken. ;)Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09387693157648013613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-49682739909442885232011-10-25T21:49:16.108-07:002011-10-25T21:49:16.108-07:00No, we are never alone! thanking God for your good...No, we are never alone! thanking God for your good results.

For I have redeemed thee. I have called ...Fear not. For I have redeemed thee. I have called thee by name. Thou art mine.<br /><br />There are not many verses that I say in my heart with all the thees and thous intact, but this one I always do. The English teacher and lover of beautiful language fell in love with this version, and I have yet to change my mind. (As an aside, it happens to be The Practical One's favorite verse in the whole Bible.)<br /><br />I was already taken away by the picture you drew in this post. I could see Him, worn sandals and all. I could see the eyes and hear the voice. Then you referenced this verse.<br /><br />That was the moment that I usually want to stand and cheer when reading a post. For some reason, this time, I just sat back in my chair and smiled. What you were able to convey in words was the peace that you felt. <br /><br />I loved it.<br /><br />And I'm so thankful that He not only showed up with comfort but good news.<br /><br />AND I definitely need to memorize Romans 8:38-39.

Being of a creative bent, I have an overactive imagination. Doctor offices and tests are NOT my best thing. Fearful scripts suddenly start writing themselves in my mind and I fight - like you - to hold onto Truth. That would be Jesus. His love , purposes, hope, and future for me. In ALL things, He is there and able. <br /><br />I'm so glad your tests were normal and all is well. Thank you for being so very transparent in your darkened room - a place we all find ourselves - sometimes more frequently than we'd like. <br /><br />Praise God for the LIGHT that pierces the darkness!!!<br /><br />Joy!<br />Kathy<br /><br />P.S. Thanks for all your sweet comments - Glad you and Nutkin are getting acquainted. You'll see more of him, I'm sure. As to seeing the Scottish Band. YouTube is awesome! Just go there and search Albannach - click away and enjoy ancient sounds of your homeland! They are devoted to raising awareness of Scottish history and heritage - Scottish nationalism. Very intriguing. Their song, "Ancestors" - which they performed that day - was amazing!<br /><br />Joy!<br />KathyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-69520201519250519842011-10-24T14:38:42.753-07:002011-10-24T14:38:42.753-07:00So glad it all went well.
