Excitement Abounds

Yesterday Doug had an appointment to see his cardiologist.  All is well!  For that we are so thankful.  God is good.  That was exciting.

But more excitement!  On Monday we fly to Rome, Italy and board a ship and cruise to the Mediterranean.  We bought this trip back in February not knowing what would be ahead.  We never do anything this far in advance but decided to go ahead and book the trip.  Well after by-pass surgery we still get to go.

There have been many things getting in the way such as surgery, unrest in Egypt, American Airlines planes having trouble, etc.  We trudge ahead. 

That is the way it is supposed to be with our walk with Jesus.  Things and people get in the way.  The devil puts them there and sometimes we stumble but if we look to Jesus and keep on keeping on all will be well.  It might not turn out the way we want but we are not to please self but God.

Yes we are excited.  We might get to walk where Jesus walked (Jerusalem and Bethlehem) and see the pyramids God's children built and where Jesus spent the first part of His life (Egypt) and walk among the ruins in Athens where Paul might have been. But if we are unable to get off the ship our own personal walk with Jesus will still be first in our lives.

Walking with Jesus now is much more important than walking where He walked.  Have a great week-end.
