God always has a positive answer

Today i got my diagnosis(well at least a pre diagnosis) and it is PCOS. I was woken up at 8:30 to a phonecall from the doctors...let me tell you, not the best way to wake up. So after the phone call i just awake, thinking, and for the first time in awhile, having fears and feeling a slight loss of hope.(which really worried me) So i just sat down and talked it out with god. And i realized this is just a pebble in the road not a mountain. Yes i have a life long disease/syndrom. But theres treatments for it and it doesnt change who i am or how i will go about my life. So then instead of feeling sorry for myself i began praising god that its nothing more serious and that there are treatments. I also know if its in gods will that i have children he will provide.

While reading through a friends blog i found this and it just made my night. after all my doubts and fears it was a nice reminder.

You say: 'I'm not able'
God says: I am able
(II Corinthians 9:8)
You say: 'It's not worth it'

You say: 'I feel all alone'

I love how people make these and forward them through emails and such but people seldom actually, truly, REALLY believe them. If God says it, He means it because believe me, if He didn't mean it, He wouldn't have said it to begin with. So, REST in Him and take joy in the fact that you are His child and have nothing to really worry about. Have peace and be truly happy! :) ~peace.

*do you know what it feels like to want to surrender*
