A Lil Heart Follow-Up :)

First of all, I just want to say thanks to everyone who has been praying for me! I went to the cardiologist and after doing a stress test she (in a very nice way) laughed and told me I'm in really good shape and my heart is just fine!

I do still have the ache sometimes in my chest, so I'm still not sure what that is from but I need to just start praying and asking God to take it away. I have felt a bit of anxiety rise up in me when I start to feel the ache or wondering if anything is wrong with me but I'm just asking God to not let anxiety creep in and to use this to help me just trust Him all the more!

What have I learned through this??? God has been showing me that I put too much confidence in my flesh and not enough confidence in Him. It's easy when I'm in really good shape to feel confident in myself and what I can do and what I can accomplish and rely less on God. God is just giving me a new awareness and challenging me with my need to rely on Him. I had the privilege of getting to do a talk at our women's Bible study and my talk was called "Uncommon faith in the Goodness of God." The trials that we go through don't change the fact that God is good! God always has been and always will be good. Preparing for the talk came at the perfect time...God tends to do that right!! God just showed me that when trials come we need to stay heaven focused - cause when you know Jesus this life is a blink of what's to come and second that when we turn to God in the midst of trials the result is that I come out looking more like Jesus. I could go on and on but I won't make you hear my whole talk! :) I praise God that nothing major is wrong and I'm so thankful for faithful friends who lift me up in my trials!
