Steady
Today was a very productive day for me. I actually woke up earlier than I normally do and I was able to get a lot done around the house. My grandma seemed to be a little bit more calmer today, but I know she just wants my grandpa back home. My grandpa had a procedure done today because the cardiologist found some plague in the arteries and has been put on medicine for that. He is still doing his breathing exercises like he’s supposed to, which is good. He is still on 15 liters of oxygen. The nurses can then start lowering the amount of liters he needs when he can do the exercises and not go down on his vitals. Still praying for a miracle and standing on God's promises that my Gramps will be okay.
This morning I came across a picture on Instagram from Steven Furtick and it said “Control what you can; trust God with what you can’t.” Then my grandma called me and told me that when I begin to worry to start praying and praising. Start singing songs to God and pray that he helps me not worry, but instead give that worry to him. Truth is God tells us in Philippians 4:6, “Do not worry about anything, instead pray about everything." He doesn’t want us to worry, because he has control over every situation and circumstance we may come across. He has the final word! The more that we try to control what we can’t control, is when we start to lose focus. It becomes our way and not God’s way. We have to sometimes let go of the things that we want to control...and as hard as it may be...I can promise you that it’s the best thing for you. Let God be God.
In those situations that are simply out of our hands...like for instance my grandpa’s situation, I can’t do much other than pray and praise God for the good and bad news. My dad had told me that it’s like a blessing in disguise. If my grandpa had never gone to the hospital and if the doctors never did what they did, we wouldn’t have ever known that my grandpa had plague build up and something way worse could of happened if he didn’t go. So even though sometimes my mind wants to worry, I have to tell myself to trust God even though I may not see the miracle in the waiting. Remain steady, don’t worry and trust that God has you in the palm of his hand.
