The Great Iceberg

Tuesday, March 19, 2013

Update:
Today will begin what is to be a week of doctor's appointments, check-ups, evaluations, and final decisions for my treatment.  I will be meeting with Pulmonary Specialists, Pain Specialists, Rheumatologists, Oncologists, as well as having my follow-up PET scan to see the current status of the lesions vs. the initial scan. (My prayer is I am healed!)

This morning, I responded to some messages on FB and while there, I saw a picture that someone has posted of a enormous iceberg in this beautiful blue sea...the picture showed the huge mountain of ice on the surface and it was a beautiful white, billowy looking like huge puffy clouds even.  I had to actually study it to decipher it was ice not a cloud...but the angle of the picture also showed the tremendous sized iceberg that was beneath the surface of the water...and it struck a chord in my heart...

What satan sets up for us that appears a thing of beauty, most times under the surface of the initial "awe" if you will, of the picture presented...is great danger beneath...but when God gives us the correct perspective...we are able with our spiritual eyes see the danger that lurks beneath the surface.  With our spiritual 20/20 vision, we're able to avoid the pitfalls that have been set there to snag us, or ultimately destroy us. 

The Titanic is the most iconic story and example of what lies beneath....if only the captain of that ship had the advantage of a different view with light, that ship would've never gone down and those lives would've never been lost...

Waking up this morning, I'm not going to lie, I'm filled with some mixed emotions, some are anxious, and some are full of hope...It's been dark in this place for several days now and I'm looking for my "Light", my Savior to shine on this iceberg in my life and remove all fear and intimidation from this situation.  I know that when He sheds His light on our situations they're far less threatening in His light than they are in the dark...

Praise God, it's daylight, and His Light is shining bright on my week...I love you, keep me in your prayers this week...

"...Thus says the Lord to me, Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not mine, but God's." II Chronicles 20:15

Set Your Sails towards His Light
