Nick got settled into a temporary room about 10:00 last night. He is on a floor that is not certified to administer Chemo. So, we will have to move before that part of the adventure begins. Because Glenn and I had only slept about 2 hours the night before, both boys pushed me to go back to the condo last night to get some sleep. So, reluctantly, I left him multitasking: talking to a friend on skype and playing some kind of "shoot-em-up" game on his computer.
Daily provision: When we found out on Monday that we would be quickly leaving for, and staying in Nashville for the next month or so, we immediately started asking people to pray for 3 specific things: Healing, Wisdom, & Provision. One of my concerns was lodging. Almost immediately a friend called with an offer from two families in Nashville to open their homes to us unconditionally. These were people that I had never met, and knew nothing of us, except that we had a need. Amazing! Then another friend called to say that they had an empty condo to offer to us. So, for the price of utilities we could have a private 2 bedroom condo for the duration of our stay. We are so thankful!!
Regardless of what is going on in your life today, look for God's provision. There is something so powerful about just deciding to look for God's hand in your life. We all have two choices today (and they are choices): 1. Worry about your situation - or - 2. Carry on with the wisdom that God has given you today, and trust Him to fix what you are tempted to worry about. Worry will give you nothing positive in return. Trusting God will land you smack dab in the middle of the peace that passes understanding. Quite honestly, the peace that we are experiencing now is indescribable. Do we have all of the answers? No. Do we still have needs? Yes. Do we have control over any part of our lives for the foreseeable future? The only control that we have is in the choosing of worry or peace. I choose peace. It is well.
Praise God for His provision! When you said "empty condo", does that mean there are things you need or could use to help in your stay? Let us know what we can do or make happen to help in this time.
