If I Could Fly Away

 

Psalm 55:6

And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.

 If I Could Fly Away

If I could fly away and be at rest

And didn't have to face life's tests.

To another time or another place

Where the sun shone bright upon my face.

Where there was treasure at the end of the rainbow

And I could sing "Jesus Loves Me, This I know".

When wishes I made on stars came true

And even through clouds the sky was blue.

Where there was laughter instead of tears

And  peace and joy outweighed the fears.

Where I felt God's love each and every day

If only I had wings and could fly away.

Sometimes we are so overwhemed with what we have ahead of us. We have to admit there's  a lot of fear sometimes, even when you try to trust the Lord with all our heart.

We have been through a lot in our 44 years of marriage and I try to remember all the times that God brought us through the rough times. There were so many times that we didn't understand what God was doing in our lives and I wanted to tell Him that we didn't want to go through any more trials. Even now, it's hard to understand His plan for us. But we know He's Already in Our Tomorrow and we're going to keep pressing on.

We had some news we really didn't want to hear late this afternoon.  The doctor called with the results of the bone marrow biopsy. He said Jerry would not be a candidate for the bone marrow/stem cell transplant. His leukemia is already been so aggressive, the chemo has not been as effective as expected.   At this time Jerry  will not being going into the hospital for more chemotherapy. We have an appointment Monday with a new oncologist and with our regular oncologist Friday for them to formulate a treatment option at this point. We know that God is still a good God whatever He may choose to do. Please continue praying for us.

We love you.

In His Hands.....
