I'm Back

I know I haven't posted for awhile, but I've been out of comission with an infection that took me to the hospital. I'm happy to say that I'm feeling better now and I think that the worst is over, so I'm back. Since my good friend Berny has encouraged me to post about it, you guys will be reading about some of my experiences and how I managed to get through them. All I got to say for now is that once you have health and start taking it for granted is hard when it gets taken away from you. I'm 46 years old and have always boasted of having great health so this episode was really a wake up call for me, however, the Lord was with me the whole time and I really felt His presence. I'm also humbled and grateful for the amount of friends and even strangers that were praying for me during this time, to you guys I say thank you and that I truly felt your prayers.

As I write this I still have to go back to the doctor for more tests and to make sure that the infection is totally gone, I am encouraged by reading psalm 27 which says:
The LORD is my light and my salvation—
so why should I be afraid?
The LORD protects me from danger—
so why should I tremble?

So as I wait I can rest easy in knowing that my God is looking out for me.

We're all glad you're doing better.

How blessed we are to be able to hold on to the Lord's promises while we're in the middle of a tough trial. Something as short as those four lines that you quoted from the Psalm is more valuable and comforting than anything else.

Praise the Lord for He is good.
