Well, I apologize to those who planned on seeing me at the Lighthouse last night. Everyone I talked to said don't worry about it and people will get over it but I still have this thing in me that doesn't want to let anybody down. Just to let everyone know that I woke up on Friday and I couldn't breathe without coughing so that tells you how much I was coughing yesterday. And I was running about a 101 fever (which has been normal lately). So I go to my doctors appointment where they are supposed to give me the results of my blood work and hopefully get some answers on why the lymph nodes in my lungs are swollen. The doctor says "Well, I have no idea what's going on, so I'm gonna send you to a specialist". So now I'm scheduled to go and see a pulmonary specialist in June. I'm gonna reschedule at the Lighthouse soon, it was so weird because I did my H&B team on Thursday and I felt fine. Then I woke up Friday and Kaplooie. What God is doing is a mystery, I am taking it as it comes. I'm still seeking His purpose, I still want my flesh to die(it's happening). Quite a few months ago the Lord gave me an invitation to suffering. In my zeal I accepted. At first I went through an emotional suffering that I came through on the other side a better man with my weaknesses exposed. Now there is a physical suffering I am enduring. It is God's gift to reinforce my faith.
Phi 1:29 There's far more to this life than trusting in Christ. There's also suffering for him. And the suffering is as much a gift as the trusting.
Luk 6:25 And it's trouble ahead if you're satisfied with yourself. Your self will not satisfy you for long. And it's trouble ahead if you think life's all fun and games. There's suffering to be met, and you're going to meet it.

I love this post.
I stumbled across your blog and totally appreciated your words here. It's sometimes difficult to remember that our lives here on Earth are only temporary. But I love your take on it as "God's gift to reinforce your faith".
I hope you feel better soon.
Mr. E I'm glad you didn't go. If you were that sick and out, I think it's best you stay home man. Liz and I are still thinking and praying for you. I pray a break through comes quickly.
