Lightbulb Be The Cause...

Be the cause

Sometimes it doesn’t feel like it, but what you do matters. Sometimes it’s hard to see how, but what you do makes a difference.

There is always hope, because there is always something you can do. There is always hope, because there is always a way to change things for the better.

Instead of wondering how much of an impact you’ll have, just go ahead and take action. Be the cause, and let the results come as they will.

Nurture the very best of intentions. Then give life to those intentions with action.

Often the path is twisted and complex. The only way to find your way through is to go.

Set your sights on the results you desire. And be the cause, for as long as it takes to bring those results to life.

Those words poked me in the ribs this morning. My husband and I have both been struggling with health issues, seeing specialists and scheduling treatments...it's a double whammy when we both face these obstacles at the same time...but it's "doable".

I find myself sometimes just stuck, trying to figure out what lies ahead and feeling a little vulnerable because I cannot control the outcome...which looks positive, by the way. It's a journey he must take, and it's a journey I must take, and instead of shirking back in fear, the best thing I can do is just to "keep going" and let the doctors lead the way. We chose doctors we trust, we got the information we need, now we just need to trust them as planned and keep walking and showing up for appointments along the way.

The only way to find our way is to walk through it...just like the reading said.

Funny how the answers come when you need them most.

Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday as you walk your chosen path.

Hugs

Agreed Ann..although our situation was a little different, it worked to our
benefit as a couple. It gave a greater strength to our loyalty and trust to
one another that has gone to another level. Walking it together, hand in
hand through to the end results gave a whole new meaning to accepting and
trusting others as well.

((((Ann))))

You have done all the things that are 'yours' to do, and now is the "Let Go and Let God" time. Hard sometimes for me, to let go of the need to control. Who am I kidding, its a lot hard for me, most of the time...Lol.

Waiting stinks. But God has this,,,,He really does,,, dearest Ann. So just snuggle up in that place and try to distract yourself with all the beautiful things you love, until its your move. Won't be long now. You and Bubba are hanging in there, not much choice, I know, but you are a wonderful example of faith, courage, and smarts, too.

Its all gonna be good. Waiting makes for anxiety, but no way out but through the wait, you know?
We are here with you, waiting and wishing you some nice things to pass the time.
Prayers for Bubbas appointments to go well and bring him total healing quickly.

I am not very good at expressing myself, Ann. But I am thinking of you, and wishing the waiting to hurry along for you, and send much love.

Ann...prayers are going your ways and hubby's. Waiting is so hard...at least for me...and walking through it often to me feels as if I am in a jungle of fear, anxiety and whatever else rotting is there...but it is the truth...walking through it is the only way.

I have followed your posts and your courage (which I learned was fear coupled with prayer = courage)...and I am asking God to stand by you with angels all this week and until your surgery...to me it is so normal to fear the unknown...but your spirit shines and not only helps you but guides the way for so many of us like a lighthouse light on a dark stormy night.

I have all the light shining out of my spirit going your way right now...and know that it is so good to read what you write...whether sharing feelings (helps me to keep you in perspective and human) or the readings...and I know that this is hard.

Be blessed and know that the prayers will continue until you come through this particular squall.

Love you.
