I have to admit, I worry a lot. About everything. I just start thinking and it gets out of hand. Most of my worries, I have absolutely no control over. Which is why I really like this quote.
"There is no use worrying about things over which you have no control, and if you have control, you can do something about them instead of worrying."- Stanley C. Allyn
Your always going to have worries, but your not always going to be in control, therefore whatever happens is obviously meant to happen. Otherwise you yourself could and would of stopped it. I never know why things happen - none of us do. but there's always a reason whether or not you know it or not.
I didn't write this weekend because I was extremely nausea's from my antibiotics. This week, starting tonight, I do oral chemo which I do 5 days out of every month. Its definitely not fun stuff. One of the nausea medications just makes you feel like you have the flu and want to sleep all day. But I'd rather feel that then throwing up. So I guess I have to suck it up for the great or good. Basically I might not write for a couple days, but do check in to see if I did write because other days are different than others.
Love, Daniela

ReplyDeleteMy mother used to say, "There's nothing useful in worrying. The things you worry about the most rarely happen, and the things that happen you never saw coming." Makes sense to me.
ReplyDeleteI know this will be a rough week for you, but hang in there and just figure it's making you stronger and giving you an even deeper, more profound perspective than the one you 've already got.
Big hugs, Cynthie Annie
Daniela, it was indeed a joy visiting with you this past Sunday. What a joyful shock it was to see how well you were being restored to health by the Lord. I cannot help but think that your experience is that like a diamond being shaped by the pressures of this life, to one day be radiantly displayed by the Lord showing forth His glory. You are an absolute demonstration of the Lord's creative genius. We continue to stand in the gap for you. I picked this up from our website. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteEarly in the spring of 1905, my husband and I were sojourning in Elmira, New York. We contracted a deep friendship for a couple by the name of Mr. and Mrs. Doolittle, true saints of God. Mrs. Doolittle had been bedridden for nigh twenty years. Her husband was an incurable cripple who had to propel himself to and from his business in a wheel chair. Despite their afflictions, they lived happy Christian lives, bringing inspiration and comfort to all who knew them. One day while we were visiting with the Doolittles, my husband commented on their bright hopefulness and asked them for the secret of it. Mrs. Doolittle’s reply was simple: “His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.” The beauty of this simple expression of boundless faith gripped the hearts and fired the imagination of Dr. Martin and me. The hymn “His Eye Is on the Sparrow” was the outcome of that experience.

The next day she mailed the poem to Charles Gabriel, who supplied the music. Singer Ethel Waters so loved this song that she used its name as the title for her autobiography.
Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come,
Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heaven and home,
When Jesus is my portion? My constant friend is He:
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
Refrain
I sing because I’’m happy,
I sing because I’’m free,
For His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me.
“Let not your heart be troubled,” His tender word I hear,
And resting on His goodness, I lose my doubts and fears;
Though by the path He leadeth, but one step I may see;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
Refrain
Whenever I am tempted, whenever clouds arise,
When songs give place to sighing, when hope within me dies,
I draw the closer to Him, from care He sets me free;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
Refrain
My mom always say If you can't fix things then why you are worrying. And if you can fix why you are worrying, just fix it. becouse in any case there is no point to be worry.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you back even if just for a day. I'm sure you'll be a trooper. Praying for you always.
ReplyDeleteI'm a friend of Jon Hope & your friend Ben. I just wanted to leave a brief message to let you know that there are people out here wishing for your recovery. I have a sign by my computer that I read several times every day & send out positive vibrations (although it's a long way from northern California to Georgia, positive thoughts can travel the universe). The sign says, "It will be wonderful that the Doctors are wrong & Daniela will be cured." It will be, & you will be. The power of positive thinking. Stay strong.
ReplyDeleteI really love your sprite. God can help when you are strong and think you can make it. That is so good nature.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you.
