"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD.
Isaiah 55:8
I have to be honest. This verse has not provided comfort to this little sister over the past four years. You see my way means my sister is healed right now of all cancer. In my way, we are old retired folks traveling the country in our RVs, annoying our old husbands with our stupid humor that only each other truly appreciates. That’s my way. And my fear is God’s way means she receives a heavenly healing. I know the passage tells us that God’s ways are better, but my fear overcomes this promise on a daily basis.
But today, God has reminded me that his ways are better, and usually means a path or an answer I never thought of or asked for. Today we received a miracle and answer to our prayers that we didn’t even think of.
Metisha went to oncology today to take some paper work and her favorite nurse came out with a paper and a tear in her eye. She explained that blood work they shared with her yesterday was from 2 weeks ago and she now had the results from yesterday’s blood work. She handed Tisha the paper and yesterday’s count was over 200 points LOWER than 2 weeks ago. So two weeks ago she was in the 500s, yesterday she was in the 200s! Marie said she couldn’t explain it, but Metisha immediately said she could, people have been praying!
Thank you God for showing me that your ways are ways I have never imagined and you ways are good. And thank you God for blessing me with an amazing big sister!

I'm very excited to hear the great news, but I'm not surprised. God's ways and thoughts are higher than ours, but Romans 8:28, and first Peter 5:8-10 let us know that our expectations can come in line with HIS. Dennis
