Our day will start with a 6:30 am CT scan, an appointment with DR Wells at 7:45 and then a bone marrow & LP procedure at around 10:00am.
One of the challenging things that we face is waiting. We wait to get results, we wait for the doctor to explain, we wait for the treatment to take effect, our lives are spent waiting.
In my devotions (a little more rushed then I would like) I read about how Judas and Jesus other disciples were waiting for Jesus to set up His earthly kingdom (and make them rulers with Him) and conquer the Roman authorities over them. When Judas found out that Jesus wasn't doing things the way he wanted, he tried to force Jesus hand. As a result he betrayed the one person who knew him and still loved him.
As we sit here in Houston, it is easy to wait and grumble and get frustrated when things aren't going the way we want or expect them to. But this morning I am reminded that God has already established His kingdom, he has defeated the enemy, liberated the captives and sent me out to share the good news -- the war is over, you don't have to keep living under the old kingdom -- you are free.
Here in Houston, there are a multitude of people that we see every day that haven't heard, they still think the only option is to go along with the world, they haven't heard that they can be free from what has taken them captive.
No more waiting for the wrong type of kingdom. Let God establish His kingdom in your heart. If He has already, then don't keep it a secret, show those who are around you and tell those who will listen.
Thanks for your prayers. Time to run.
