It is possible

A couple of days ago, the reading in Streams in the Desert was based on Matthew 17:20: "Nothing will be impossible for you." H.C.G. Moule goes on to say:

It is possible to daily "cast all your anxiety on Him" (1 Peter 5:7) and experience deep peace.

It is possible to have our thoughts and the desires of our hearts purified.

It is possible to see God's will in every circumstance and to accept it with singing instead of complaining.

It is possible to become strong by completely taking refuge in the power of God . . . .

I'm learning that by God's help these possibilities are true.

I slept soundly all through the night. That's a gift. This morning I feel better than I've felt since I had chemo almost three weeks ago. We have one more short excursion planned with our friends this morning before they leave town.

And I have a private-duty nurse for the weekend! She's the SIM nurse friend we stayed with in Sebring, Florida, in January. She's here on business and since she's almost like a daughter to us, we're thrilled to have her in our home. I don't really feel in need of nursing care, but she's threatening to "spoil" me anyway.

The husband of our new-kidney friend has come home from the hospital--still without a diagnosis. And her white cell count is still dangerously low. We pray they'll both continue to recover.

It is possible to keep our focus on God today and to walk in the light. Let's do it!

Love,
Carol
