"A Change", Burgess Junction, WY
On our way home the other day. This big old boy jumped the fence and was headed to the other side of the road. Before you ask, there was a cow moose on the other side. But as he paralleled us, I could see the velvet was just beginning to crack and separate and before long he will be scraping his antlers clean. The grasses have went from green to brown the willow leaves are beginning to change color and a change is in the air.
This vision is still burned into my thoughts and as I normally only look at my own life, but tonight I am straying from that a little. I am thinking of all the storms, floods, fires and earthquakes. But not just those how many senseless deaths occur each day. As my heart breaks with just the sheer though of the lives lost, the property lost and the onset of hopelessness. I have a disease (Sarcoidosis) that will more than likely either cause my end or contribute to it. I have 3 new growing masses in my left lung that if they keep growing, no matter what they are, will have to come out. So I am a little familiar with the storms of life raging, bad news flooding in, doubt and conjecture burning everything within and having my perceived world shaken to its foundations and there are many times hopelessness has whispered just give up. And Yet, I focus on facing tomorrow with zeal! I truly believe I have a choice of being positive or negative. Each day I am given is truly a gift and I do my best to approach it that way. Like the grass and the leaves make way for a new day in the spring and the moose make for future generations, I believe they look at it as a change not a beginning or an end. I may not understand the why's of what is going on in the world or within myself but I will pray for those in harms way and believe this change is or will cause hope, life and love to prosper. May each of us choose in some way to make our world a better place by choosing a change. :)
I hope this makes sense. my mind seems to be headed in so many different directions tonight. So off to bed and I will read what I wrote in the morning when I rise. <3

Good Morning Ron........before I came on Inspire this morning, and saw your post, the Lord gave me something to share with you. (It always amazes me how He does that) Having lived in Fla for over 14 years, my heart is very much there this morning, so I went to utube for a song of peace............https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmvnE6erj6I.......now as I read your post, I understand the sequence of events, actions and thoughts....it is a message for you, from your Father.
I am so sorry to hear of what is happening with you, but yet there is such peace to know just WHO you know, WHO you love, and WHO loves you. Share your journey with us, as it will spread a powerful message, a message of peace, strength and hope.

Mandymuff, Thank you and it is well with my soul. :) There is no need in being sorry, each of us has a path and this one is mine and although it may be rough at times, it has been a beautiful journey and I have met so many amazing people (Like yourself) that if I had not had Sarcoidosis, I would never have been on this site. The Lung masses are a new thing and the radiologist does not think they are a Sarcoidosis Granuloma mass. So that leaves either benign or malignant Masses being probable. I guess will start down the road to find out on the 27th. Although I may not like the path or the plan that is unfolding within my life, I trust the Planner!

James 5, Living Bible
13 Is anyone among you suffering? He should keep on praying about it. And those who have reason to be thankful should continually be singing praises to the Lord.
This one short verse seems to lump the whole thing together, for all of us.
I will be praying for you Ron.....please keep us informed.
The Picture you chose for this message is so appropriate......the big lumbering moose, crashing through the field.....looking so majestic and strong, and yet......subject to The Masters touch!

Hello Ron,
Love your post! I wanted to tell you about a dream I had a few week ago. There was a low cloud cover (storm clouds) and a hand stuck through them down toward me. It just stuck through the clouds towards me about up the elbow. I knew that that was GOD letting me know that he will always be there for support, love and strength to get through whatever I am going to be faced with. I did reach up and take the hand and just holding it gave me a sense of peace and love. GOD will always be with us.
This was such a great dream!

Mandymuff, Indeed that is the perfect verse for us. :-)
Megang123, He is always there, even in our biggest doubts of Him, He will never leave us especially if we are holding His hand! :-)
