100% Update: Details

God delights in us, including the details. Ever heard those words? Understand what they mean? Here's an example with today's update on Dad:

• Dad arrived home last Thursday. He begins outpatient therapy next week and he continues to have many rounds of doctor visits scheduled over the next few months.


• One of the discouraging aspects of outpatient care is that some of these physicians are not able to see Dad for 2-3 months. Dad was really upset last week when he learned that Dr. NewFace ( ... the plastic surgeon ... ) was scheduled in late February 2009 and Dr. BidenSmile ( ... the oral surgeon ... ) was scheduled in February 2009.


• But God delights in our lives ... in the details: Dad received a call yesterday and BidenSmile was able to schedule an office visit TODAY!!! And another call yesterday let us know that NewFace moved Dad's appointment up to December 19, 2008.


• Here's the kicker: Dad felt some "new feelings" above his right eye this morning ... feelings he had not felt before ... not like little-boy-stomach-somersaults-when-Stacy-holds-your-hand-on-the-playground feelings ... but maybe-nerves-regenerating feelings!

This morning, Dad is also scheduled to see his family doctor, Dr. FamDoc, just to get him up to speed on what's happened to Dad over the past two months. We will let you know later today how everything went.

[Note: Are you worrieed about "details" in your life? Try a little prayer ... "God, your Word says that your pleasure is not in the strength of the horse nor in the legs of a man, but that you delight in those who love and fear you ... those put their hope in your unfailing love. Lord, I put my hope in you ... I pray that you would __________________. Thanks. Amen."]
