Well last Tuesday I had my yearly physical. They draw blood to make sure everything is okay. So I am told I should get a call withing 24-36 hours about the blood work. So that means that by Thursday I should know something.
But Thursday comes and goes with no word. So I try to be patient and Friday comes and goes with no word. (And now I am getting worried.) Why haven't they called, could something be wrong etc.
Now I know that we are not supposed to worry. Don't you just hate it when this kind of stuff happens? People say they are going to do something and then they don't. So all weekend I have been trying to put this out of my mind, thinking well perhaps they don't have my correct phone number etc.
So today I call the Dr. office and tell them I have heard nothing. That was at 9 AM and now it is almost 1 and still I have heard NOTHING! AAARRRRGGGHHHH...You know I HATE to Wait. I am impatient. I really was patient the first couple days, but now, a week later, I'm not feeling so kind.
Anyway, there is nothing I can do right now but WAIT. It seems sometimes God places us in these places and all we can do is wait. You know Jesus said that worrying won't add one minute of day to our lives. The news will come and whatever it is, I will have to deal with it then. Good or bad.
But you know I was thinking about how many times I worry when I have to wait. If my husband isn't home from work and he does not call, and I cannot reach him, I try not to, but things start churning in my mind... In fact there is absolutely no proof to support all the thoughts going on in my mind. FEAR-is False Evidence Appearing Real.
What if........What if....... In fact I have to say that there have been times I have really gotten worked up and upset and then an easy explanation comes of why I had to wait. Perhaps It is GOD just trying to tell me-"Don't worry, Lean on Me. Trust Me."
