"GIVE HEED"

 "Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip." (Hebrews 2:1 KJV)

  {Beth}"How can a young person stay pure? By obeying your word. I have tried hard to find you - don't let me wander from your commands. I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you. I praise you, O LORD; teach me your decrees. I have recited aloud all your regulations you have given us. I have rejoiced in your laws as much as in riches. I will study your commandments and reflect on your ways. I will delight in your decrees and not forget your word." (PSALM 119:9-16 NLT)

  Well, that was a little strange; but I believe God has gotten my attention: I am looking forward to what happens next; good or bad, it's all about the journey! When I finished my Thursday post, I closed my laptop and started out on my usual routine; headed to the office to begin a day of work. Within, what seemed like minutes, I was trying to get my wife taken care of, because something was happening with my body. I became short of breath and was losing strength; so, I needed to change her rather quickly.  

 Marianne's care giver showed up yearly, expecting I would still have issues, as I did on Wednesday, so she was able to finish what I usually had to do before her shift. And then my Mother-in-law shows us about a half hour yearly; and as she sees me laying on the sofa, she says, "Are you ready to go the hospital yet?" And I answered, "Yes, I think I should!" 

 By 8:45 I was checking into Shasta Reginal emergency, getting scanned and tested, blood draws and monitored; until they came up with a final observation: Heart Failure and an infection in one lung. So up to the third floor I went. I was released yesterday around 1:15 in the afternoon, to start a medication plan, or test, which ever you want to call it. Hopefully it works, or I might need a pacemaker, or worse. 

 No matter what, I will try my best to follow the doctor's orders, using caution when things don't make sense; but most of all, I am looking for God's voice in this, to see where He wants me to be, what He is trying to show me, and most of all, having faith that my Father knows best, because He knows what is good for me! 

 Anywho; as far as this blog goes, I was a little concerned about missing a couple of days, but I decided to just refer to it as being in the tomb; so, this is my blog's resurrection Sunday! Hopefully I will start obeying what I hear the Lord telling me to do, and giving heed to, all, His words...

"My father taught me, "Take my words to heart. Follow my commands, and you will live. Get wisdom; develop good judgment. Don't forget my words or turn away from them. Don't turn your back on wisdom, for she will protect you. Love her, and she will guard you. Getting wisdom is the wisest thing you can do! And whatever else you do, develop good judgment." (Proverbs 4:4-7 NLT)
