Doubt


Do you ever let a little doubt 
swim around in your head?

My faith is very strong and yet I still sometimes
feel that maybe God is overlooking a 
particular struggle or trial I am in the midst of.

Fortunately, in my heart I know better than that, but
the doubting doesn't feel good at all.



I am going to see my sister in a little over a
week, and really need to see a Dr. before I go.
My sweet hubby has a Dr. he loves, and wants
me to see him, but he didn't have an open
appointment until after I get back.

AND they said that people rarely cancel appts. with him.

In crept the doubt.

Who do I go to Lord?  Do I just wait til I get back?
Will I be ok while I am away, or end up in an
emergency room hours from home?
Please, Lord, I need some wisdom here.

He says He will give wisdom to His children when
they ask for it...so I always ask.

I called this morning to see if they had any 
cancellations.

NOPE.

I talked with sweet hubby and he said to call back
and make sure they make the appointments for all
of the offices; maybe I could get in with another office
if they don't.

THEY HANDLE ALL THE OFFICES.

Well, ok Lord.  I'll go wherever you want me to go,
or wait, just let me know which it is.

THE PHONE RINGS.

They had the rare thing occur.  A cancellation!!

I am seeing hubby's Dr. on Monday!!

~~~~~~~~~~

I love you Lord, and I thank and praise you
for loving me, and showing me so perfectly
that you are always looking out for me!

And I thank you, dear friends, for all of your love and prayers!

Big Toasty Warm Florida Hugs!!
Becky

  2. Praise God!!!
    I was just reading this bible story to my four-year-old the other night and God gentle reminded me that He cares for us...like it does the birds of the air and the clothing of the flowers.
    May you see His hand on your appointment, may you take every thought captive and rejoice in the Love of your Heavenly Father and His healing hands,

  3. Doesn't it just blow you away how God takes care of things when we give them up?

  4. Isn't that amazing?!? How neat you got that call and now have an appointment before you go. Push that doubt out of your mind!

    Hope you are doing okay otherwise.

  8. You know, Becky, some would call that a coincidence. Some would say that a cancellation just "happened." But we know better, don't we? God orchestrated that opening for you.

    I'll be praying for your appointment. Hope it goes well and that your health issue is resolved...and then, I pray for a wonderful visit with your sister.

    Blessings and hugs,
    Patti

  9. Woo Hoo! GOD knew all along that HE would make a way for you. I too pray for wisdom for this doctor and that your time with your sister will be a great blessing!
    I also had answered prayer about the Proverbs 31 Conference at month's end. HE made an opening for me in the speaker's track that wasn't there. Hooray! What a Savior!

  12. Becky! I have read and read and read through your posts and I don't know what health issues you are facing but I pray that they will be resolved soon. I can testify that God is in control! With my recent husbands stroke and heart surgery, they said he should not be here...HA HA HA, and he is! because he has so much more work to do on this earth! I pray that every thing works in your favor. Know that you will be well and have a wonderful visit with your sis. hugs and smiles across the miles...linda

  17. Hey Becky!!! Thanks for stopping by my blog. Yep! I'm a Florida Girl too! I'm further west though.... Tampa Bay area. So glad you dropped by - and keep me posted on central Florida meet-up! That would be a blast!

    Sorry about posting here, I didn't find your email...

    OH! and we seem to be about the same age, and we've been married the same amount of years too!!!

  18. Hi Becky! Thank you so much for stopping by and becoming a follower! :)

    Yes, I don't even want to think about how many shirts I have "decorated" with Clorox Cleanup too! Maybe we could bring "tie-dye" back into fashion! ::chuckle::

    A central FL bloggers get-together sounds awesome! I know of probably a half dozen bloggers over in my area (but I'm sure there are more!) and I have never had the opportunity to meet any of them personally. I, too, had thought about trying to organize something but I just simply don't have the time (or energy) right now with trying to renovate a new home (the house in "Hooterville," as I refer to it) and move. If you get something organized, please let me know! I would also be glad to spread the word to the bloggers I know.

    Hope your appointment goes well so you can enjoy your visit with your sister completely doubt-free.

  20. Oh Becky isn't it just soo awesome to see God work out the details in our lives like this? We KNOW He is capable, and we KNOW He cares for us, and yet it blows us away every time we see it. PRAISE GOD...He has everything in His hands. Praying for you Becky. HUGS, Debbie

  21. As I was reading this, I was so hoping that it was going to end the way it did!!

    It's ALL in His capable hands. We know with with our head and believe it in our heart, but when we SEE it with your eyes, it just makes you want to dance, doesn't it?

  22. God knows we have doubts...he made us this way...so that we can turn to Him and increase our faith! Remember... He knows each of the hairs on your head...gray or not! No worries...He is there! Hugs

  23. It is good to hear you were able to get an appointment before you go to your sisters. We've had these "mysterious" happenings, too.:-) Praying for you, Becky!

  24. hey Becky! Thanks for the idea of the bacon in the recipe-it sounds fabulous!!!
    Your story reminds me of a time I sat in the dr. office with my daughter and looked at the ceiling and thought, "Lord. Are you really even here???" The visit turned out much better than I thought and my prayer is that you will know His presence throughout your medical journey!!

  28. I hope you're okay! I know I've been pretty much absent from blogging lately. Just need to get my brain together to think of something to write that won't have everyone feeling sorry for me.

    I love, love, love, the pictures of the previous post. What a beautiful dinning room and the baby in the swing is priceless!!

    Enjoy your trip with your sister and I know all will go well at the doctor's!!!!

  29. That is so awesome! That happened to me with the OB doctor that I had when I was pregnant with Mary. He is a very popular Christian doctor and when I called they were going to turn me away but a cancelation was right there. I am so thankful for that, he was such an awesome and supportive doctor. I will be remembering you dear friend in my prayers that all goes well. Hugs, Elena

  30. Dear Becky, please forgive me for missing some of your posts. Today I have been thinking about you and that I needed to come and see you. Christina just arrived a day early to leave for camping tomorrow. She saw the lovely gifts you sent me and asked about you. I said I hoped you ere alright and we both agreed I should take a few minutes and say hello. I am so glad I did. Prayers are answered and I am thankful you kept your faith in prayer. Some times we do get little pangs of doubt and then boom. Something good happens to show us the way. Thank God you can see the Dr. before you go to see your sister. Peace of mind means so much. I pray all will be alright my dear friend.

    We are leaving for a week. I will pray for you daily.
    Blessings and love, Jeanne
