It's been a while since I last blogged. I've had a rough season recovering from the medications I took and merged our church with another church in Fishers. Both things have been harder than I expected. I've been done with treatments since May but have experienced some depression and anxiety. Hard to blog about those things when you're struggling with your faith and hope.
Today I was reading in Psalm 80 where it says, the Lord God Almighty restores us, makes his face shine on us that we will be saved. When i exercised this morning the sun was shining thru the window on me, as i finished the son had moved so it wasn't shining through the window anymore, when i went to a different room it was shining through again. I was struck by how God's Son Jesus is always moving in our life doing something new so we have to be willing to move and join him where he is at work so we can experience his light shining on our life and in turn extend that to others.
As I was reading the Bible I received a phone call from the dermatologist that a mole I had removed last week on my leg came back negative for cancer. I'm thankful for how God has spared my life and is watching over me so others can see how GREAT God is and put their faith in him. God reminded me today that just because something is hard doesn't mean his favor isn't on your life. I was also reminded that sharing the way God is working in our life is what redeems our struggles and uses them for good in other's lives.
Today is also Luke's 10th birthday! Wow hard to believe our youngest is double digits. It was so great to see how excited he was!
Thank you for all your prayers! I prayed for you today that God would encourage you as you read.
Have a great day!
Fred
