Well, disregard the previous post. About 6 hours ago I was preparing for our trip to New York. When I got home I thought I would call to confirm Cade's appt. with the neurologist in NY-who would be working along with Dr. Fay. After speaking with the clinical coordinator, I was told that Dr. Fay would not be there this week and there was obviously a MISTAKE in the scheduling. After I hung up the phone, the very first thought that came to my mind was that we had been given an answer to our question in regards to the doctor situation. The next thought was what about all the money we had spent in preparation for this trip, and then I broke down. After a calming word from my mom, who is always there for me, I realized that this was confirmation from the Lord that we should remain in Nashville and allow his doctors here to complete the procedure. I then realized that this was no MISTAKE, but the Lord's work at hand in a matter of hours. We have to look at the big picture, we have to see that He has a bigger plan for us. It is similar to looking at a piece of art. If you hold the picture right up to your face you can only see colors and shapes, but when you look at it at a distance you can see all the quality work and intricate details and see the layout of the work of art..This is what is difficult. We can't always see the portrait, we just see colors and shapes. Hope that makes sense.. it does to me..
I have been reading the book "Cast of Characters" by one of my favorite authors, Max Lucado. In the chapter on Joseph, he says," We've been given only one piece of life's jigsaw puzzle. Only God has the cover of the box." So true that He is the only one that knows what the puzzle will look like in the end. I am so thankful for His providence and thankful that He always answers prayers.
(p.s. I do have to admit I will miss not seeing NYC in Christmas)
so Not Worthy, but HIS,
