My heart leapt reading this statement. God never panics or runs around like a headless chicken. Aren’t we blessed to have such a God??
I have been a wee bit stressed this week because my doctor’s office called last week and asked if I could come in to discuss the results of my blood tests. No, I could not because I would be away for the rest of the week on business. We made an appointment a week away. One week. Seven days. The clock ticked slowly but my brain raced quickly. We had been watching a number of familial concerns that I had avoided up until now. Which one had finally caught up with me?
Yesterday finally crawled into being and I arrived at the doctor’s office to wait for 15 minutes before sitting down to discover the issue. I was remarkably calm and pretty sure which one it was going to be. “Your mineral levels are low—in particular, your calcium.” My brain tried to compute the message. Oh, that is not great news but it is good news. It could have been so much worse. Prescription for calcium supplements in hand, I stepped back out into the frosty air. I have never been a fan of milk and I guess that caught up with me.
I did not feel desperate or even resigned going into the appointment. I was ready for whatever came for a change. Maybe I am growing up? God knows waiting for some medical updates I have been desperate. I should strive to be more like God more often.
Peace,
Suzanne
