Craig drove through the night so Mom and Dad could sleep. We arrived in Indianapolis at 6 am Monday, after leaving California Saturday morning. Craig and Mandy drove to Lafayette, and we slept a few more hours before the 11am appointment.
Mandy's cd with songs of praise encouraged our hearts as we got ready. We were reminded of the Lord's power and presence in every circumstance.
Dad drove us to St. Vincent's Breast Care Center and Mom read the Jesus Calling devotion for Jan 2, which happened to begin with, "Jesus heals". The words encouraged us not to become overwhelmed by details of figuring things out. Focus on the Lord, worship him, and watch his care.
The scripture references were Psalm 105:4 saying, "Look to the Lord and his strength, seek His face always," and Luke 10:38-42 where Jesus defended Mary, saying she chose well to sit at his feet, and what was gained would not be taken from her.
A text arrived from Sabrina, “We’re praying for you, for total peace, clarity of mind, God's direction, and understanding of what you are told. We love you! Wish we could be there!"
I asked Mom if she wanted to sing. She said, "Sure." Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord God Almighty came from our hearts and voices. Mom made the comment with a smile and teary eyes, “We have a great team here. We need ‘Jesus Jersies’.”
I'm amazed at her laughter, smiles, and simple trust in the Lord.
