Do Not Be Discouraged

Deuteronomy 31:8, "The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." This is from my Bible study this morning. I love how the Bible can speak to you in different ways every time you read it. I am trying not to feel discouraged and this is one of the verses I had in my study today. Wow is all I can say. It has been two days since my doctor's appointment and I am still feeling well. I told God on the retreat that I am ready for what He has planned for me in His eternal plans. I am still feeling very peaceful about that. I am less worried now that I have given this over to HIM. I, of coarse, would still love to know what is going to happen. Who wouldn't? I think I just needed to be reminded that I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.
