I had an interesting dream early this morning. In my dream I was forming words from sticks. The words were from Isaiah 40:31, "But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." But I only got at far as 'eagles' when I was awakened by the radio alarm. The song that was playing on 94.9 (KLTY) was a song by Nicole C. Mullen, "Call On Jesus". Here are the lyrics I awoke to: "When I call on Jesus, all things are possible. I can mount on wings like eagles and soar. When I call on Jesus, mountains are gonna fall. 'Cause He'll move heaven and earth to come rescue me when I call".
You know we live in such a big world. Billions of people populate this earth. But yet, God knows the amount of hairs on each head. (Mt. 10:30) And, when I am faced with circumstances that I can not change and I need someone there for me...all I have to do is call on Him. And, mountains will fall and He will move heaven and earth to come rescue me when I call. With the heaviness of my upcoming surgery on my mind my dream and that song meant so much to me this morning. It was as if God was reminding me that He is there for me during this and that everything is going to be fine. I know that the amount of prayers going up for me during this time is making a difference.
I had my Pre-Op appointment on Wednesday. My Doctor just went over the necessary paperwork and detail of the surgery. They had to take some blood for some Pre-Op tests. I normally get a little woozy when they stick that needle in my vein but, I didn't. I was actually quite surprised....well, at least until I got the check-out desk. The room began to spin. I sat on the floor until they brought me a chair. Of course, it was my fault I about passed out...I had not eaten much of a breakfast and it was already past lunch time. So, they gave me some crackers and orange juice. I sat for a little bit until I was sure I could handle driving home. It was quite an experience.
Now, I just have a week to wait for my surgery the early morning of the 31st. But this morning I begin to realize that everything will be fine. Like a friend recently told me, God will be right there with me. So, I'm going to continually call on Him to give me the strength and courage I need to make it through and to help me push the fears out so that He can replace it with peace.
