Unique and Mysterious

Rule #8 of The Red Sea Rules is Trust God to deliver in His own unique way. The author says, "There are no cookie cutters in heaven. God doesn't have standardized, same-size-fits-all solutions to our various problems. He treats every situation as singular and special, and He designs a unique, tailor-made deliverance to every trial and trouble." That explains a lot, doesn't it? And brings us back to bedrock: we Fully Rely On God alone--his wisdom, his purposes, his glory. Never mind how he solves other peoples' problems. His solutions for me are unique, mysterious, and fully okay.

A praying member of this blog network wrote yesterday that her closest friend urgently needs prayer. The friend has cancer of the appendix--a disease so rare there are only 600 documented cases. Hers had spread about the same as mine had. But whereas I recovered quickly from surgery and went home after six days, she has spent two weeks in intensive care and is still struggling. We don't know her name, but God does. Please pray for her.

Please also pray for Fran, whose breast cancer now appears to be very invasive. She's having a much-dreaded MRI tomorrow, where they tell her she'll have to lie stll for 30 minutes on her stomach with her hands reaching over her head. That sounds hard; she thinks it's impossible, especially in the closed tube of the MRI. Please ask God to give her strength and healing.

Last evening I prepared three dinners, one for then, two for during chemo which starts at 10:00 today. I'm so thankful that we didn't catch the very bad colds we were exposed to in Indiana. God answered that prayer.

Have a blessed day.
