Waiting To Inhale

The last two weeks have been extremely nerve wracking for me. I got a message from my Ma yesterday (Wednesday the 30th2008). She told me to call my cousin Irene. My cousin Irene is an R.N. I now know just exactly what is wrong with Ma. Without going too far with a bunch of medical terms, Ma isn't doing too well ... at the moment. Both her heart and lungs are in bad shape. Ma asked me to come home. I will do that. I know that God is the God of the impossible. My main concern is her eternal destination. Right now I have about 100 million things going on in my head.
I am thankful for my group of friends at church. I can already sense my arms being held up by their prayers. I am broken to pieces. It is because of God and His Son and the prayers of my friends that I have not crumbled.
Mk 9:24 Lord I believe, Help thou mine unbelief.
Acts 16:31 Believe on the Lord and you'll be saved, You and your household.
I find a bit of peace in His promises. He will guide me with His eye and hold me in the palm of His hand. It is by His grace alone that I stand. I choose to stand!
