Consider It All jJoy

8 p.m…

I told a close friend the other day that we feel like God is growing us.  Growing us in terms of deepening our trust and confidence in Him.  He wants us to trust him as Job did in verse 13:15, where Job declares, “though he slay me, yet will I hope in him”.  That is AMAZING trust.

I also think of the verse in James 1:2-4….”Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”  Now, that’s a worthy GOAL!

Storms bring life to the desert. Consider it all joy… James 1:1

Irene had dialysis treatment again today.  I had an InterWest meeting in Monterey this afternoon so we made arrangements with a home health agency to have one of their attendants in our home with Irene.  The experience, according to Irene, went well.

Irene also experienced a much better day related to her tummy.  We’re hopeful this new nausea medication combination will deliver positive results!  So far so good… at least at the time of this writing!!  smile  smile

Jocelyn joined us for dinner and was helpful around the house this evening.

We are trusting God for great days ahead!!!  We’re grateful that he is growing us and learning what it means to “consider it all joy…whenever we face trials…”  We also endeavor to be “mature and complete, not lacking anything”.

Thank you for your love and concern.
