Live Positively

Last night (technically it was early this morning) Joel came home. Thank You Lord.

This morning was supposed to be business as usual. I had my Bible Study class today and Joel was going to leave the house at 10:30 to go work with a new co worker in Milwaukee. The kids went to school, I had my lesson all ready to go for this morning and Joel had a few things to organize.

My very good friend, Diane, picked me up for our class and off we went. As soon as I walked into the church, I started having an acute asthma attack. It was actually a rather mild attack, but still my breathing was not so good. I've been bothered at this church in the past which makes me think that there is a cleaner or chemical they use that seems to bother me. I used my rescue inhaler and it did not help. I could not stay for the class. What a miracle that Joel was at home and could come and pick me up.

Once I got home, I was thinking how funny it was that I had prepared my lesson, gotten ready this morning and I was at the church early for Bible Study...and then I had to turn around and go home. I had already done all the challenging steps of Bible Study, my favorite part was what I had to miss. Truly, this was a lesson that God's timing is not our own. Joel has been working pretty hard lately and I don't expect his schedule to let up any time soon now that he is starting his new job. But he was home at the exact moment I needed him. Thank You, God.

As I was still trying to get my breathing under control at home, I remembered that my doctor has recommended caffeine when my asthma is particularly difficult to get under control. I had a few cans in the fridge amazingly. We don't drink soda and I never even have it in the house. On the side of the can, LIVE POSITIVELY was printed. I am sure that is an ad campaign for Diet Coke. All I know is that for me, today, everything I needed was provided exactly when I needed it. Thank You Lord. Also thank you to Joel, Diane, my Mom, and the entire BSF crew that is praying for me. I am positively sure that we are loved and cared for by a wonderful Lord and Savior.
