Dr. Meller thinks that I have an infection. So, he is extending the antibiotic treatment and wants me to see him in December. No guarantees, but this is more optimistic than I expected.
Once again I have to live with uncertainty. Why do I still find this hard? Why do I struggle to believe HE is good ALL the Time?
Pray for these nasty symptoms to abate, pray for healing pray for my faith.
PS-----Today we also give thanks for Lucia! She is 2 today!!! What a wonderful family we have.

That is great news from the doctor! I'll be praying that the antibiotics clear up the symptoms and the infection. I share in your struggle to calm the fears and doubts when faced with uncertainty and look forward to this day as beautifully described by Chris Tomlin in his new song "Rise:"
There's a day that's drawing near
When this darkness breaks to light
And the shadows disappear
And my faith shall be my eyes
That will be a glorious day, and it is in a place Nancy is already living! Enjoy your sweet family this weekend. With love - Cindy
So glad to hear the doctor thinks it's just an infection -- and that you got such good news before the weekend.
But sorry, Dan, that things are hard and dark a lot of the time. So often when I read your posts I think of CIM/OMF missionary Isobel Kuhn and her meditation on 1 Cor. 4:9 "For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as men condemned to death; because we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men." She did not consider herself on a par with the apostles, but for her this verse spoke to how God puts His children on "platforms," as she calls them, which "display" us or make us a spectacle so that the power of Christ might be seen in us. She was convinced that struggles and hardships of her life as a missionary were 'arena experiences,' which God used not to make her miserable but to reveal Himself to her and to the world... Maybe she knew and was recalling the thoughts of CIM founder Hudson Taylor who said, "Difficulties afford a platform upon which He can show Himself. Without them we could never know how tender, faithful, and almighty our God is."
Easier to read about than to walk through, I am sure. But somehow encouraging I -- we -- hope.
Thanks Dan for continuing to blog. It is so good to keep in touch this way. We will pray that the medicine will kick the infection. To answer your question of why is uncertainty etc still so hard for you--because it is hard and you are human! Praying for the peace that passes all understanding. Love, John and Shelly
Good news, I will continue to pray,
Ger
