Confusing

I simply posted on Facebook yesterday, "prayer please." God is so good. He provided just the right people in my life. You all rose to the occasion and prayed for me, not knowing why. Sometimes I just have bad days and need extra prayer. Sometimes it's physical; other times it's emotional. It's usually a combination of the two. Yesterday was one of those days.

I wasn't feeling that great physically yesterday morning, and then the infusion clinic at UAB arbitrarily called to cancel some of my treatments. No explanation was given. I asked to be transferred to my doctor's nurse to find out why. I had to leave a message but the call was not returned. I still don't have an answer. I understand that they were in clinic yesterday, but my call should have been returned. I just called again and had to leave another message. I'm quite frustrated. I don't understand why my treatments would be changed without discussing the matter with me first. You may remember from a month ago when my doctor considered changing my treatment schedule because she was concerned about new growth. I haven't had any additional tests so why is this being done now? I'm just so frustrated!

Sometimes life is quite confusing. This journey that I am on has brought me back in contact with so many people with whom I had lost contact. We should not wait for bad things to happen to bring us back together, and yet we continually do. Life is busy. We get caught up in the daily routine and grind. Years pass and we lose touch with some of our dearest friends. We lose sight of everything but what directly touches our lives. I don't know how to change this or if we can. Our days are filled with the mundane--with obligations that must be met. I wish there was a way to change this so that we could spend more time with people in our lives who have meant so much--whether from the past or from the present. Our intentions are often good. We say we want to stay in touch with people, but it often doesn't happen. This is especially true when we graduate from high school or college, or when we change jobs or churches. Those people are no longer in our lives on a fairly regular basis and we lose contact. I guess we need to realize that sometimes people are in our lives only for a season, but they are always there for a reason. Thank you for being a part of my life--even if it was only for a season. You have definitely been there for a reason. You may never know how your prayers have helped me. Just know that they have.

Wow. I didn't mean to ramble so much. Just keep the prayers going. I appreciate them so much. God is good!
