Uneasy Feeling

Do you ever have days when you carry an uneasy feeling in your stomach and feel restless but can’t pinpoint what is up?  That is me today. Here are just a few things that my mind has dealt with today. 

I got on the scale this morning, (something I am trying not to do very often) and I was down 1.8 pounds, which put a smile on my face.  But I thought about all the hard work I have ahead of me to keep that number coming down. 

Our family dog, Datzie has a dislocated knee cap and it took a turn for the worse yesterday, which raises the question, how much money do we put into her health?  I dislike watching her suffer, she is 7 years old. 

I am starting to lead a Bible study this week and am nervous and excited about it. 

I found out a family friend died today after suffering a stroke and my heart breaks for her family but also rejoicing that she is not suffering anymore and completely healed in the arms of Jesus.

Some of these things seem so minor in light of the trials I have dealt with in the past and the present heartache of death, but they all mesh together in my head, heart and have landed in my stomach.   What is important?  How many days do I have yet on this earth? Writing this has helped me process and the only thing that comes into my head is FAITH in God and endurance for each day!

I went to www.biblegateway.com  and searched endurance.  What encouragement in Romans 5:3-4  We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.

So God is working on my character today and I am to rejoice in it.  I want to remain strong in my confident hope of my loving Savior, who dealt with so many things in His days, but He endured it all and went to the cross for me.
