She stood in the storm, & when the wind did not blow her way, she adjusted her sails.
This is one of my favorite quotes and certainly applies to the last 20 days.
I wound up not going to Honduras last week with the team. God said "no", in a very loud, direct voice. Since I didn't hear Him with the first bee sting, He provided a second one to get my attention and also send me to the ER (again). Thank goodness for epi-pens, steroids and Benadryl. Yes, I heard Him the second time - stay home dummy. His grand plan allowed another board member of the Isaiah Connection to step into leadership and also opened the door for me to continue at camp as their nurse. A win-win situation all the way around.... a good lesson in listening.
It has been a grand summer so far. Mom and I spent 10 days back East. She in New Holland, PA & me off to Chesapeake, VA to assist with Max's graduation festivities. Rain was the theme on the way out and hot on the way back. It was a wonderful trip and great to spend time chatting with Mom as we drove along.
I continue my fight against GERD (Gastro-esphogeal Reflux Disease). It has worsened and remains a cause of great anxiety at times. I thank God for my dear friend, Jennie - who talked me through a nasty anxiety attack on the trip back from camp. Some days, I just can't get these to back down. I have switched up the GERD OTC meds and am now finding some relief from the almost constant sour acid and choking feeling in the back of my throat. It has been over a year in this battle and would really like it to go away.
So, what's next? Another trip to PA., a legal conference in MN., and a driving trip to ID to see a *friend* from many years ago. I am very excited to be reconnecting with him.
Hope that your summer is going well!
