Dear God,

The heat was blistering outside, 100 degrees. With no air conditioning but a small unit for one room, I made the most of closing the windows, drawing the shades and turning the fan on high to circulate the warm air getting warmer. We kept the house steady at 85 degrees. I perspired and got tired but had no symptoms associated with my compromised endocrine system. I was then and am now very, very grateful.

Learning to live within the possible and trusting you for the air between the possible and impossible has made me a more trusting person. When I fail to fear and rest my mind and soul on your shoulder, I find myself more willing to follow your leading wherever you take me.

At the end of the day when I drew up the shades and raised the windows allowing the very warm cooler air in, I marveled at the gift you gave me. Just a year ago I would have been in deep trouble, making my way to the hospital for fluids that would balance my system replenishing my vital organs with life-giving juice. But not yesterday, I just kept hydrating myself, taking in sodium when I felt the need. Such a grace!

You alone
are the answer
to all
my questions,
my every dilemma.
I can
trust you
in every situation
knowing you
will take care
of me.
Today I
just want
to extend
my love
and gratitude
to you,
my redeemer
and savior.

Love always, Andrea
