Big Scott goes to the doctor
I am two weeks out of back surgery and I am doing great. I have my follow up exam this morning. I know he is going to tell me to lose weight, duh. But what else will he say?
This is the rub with most of us. We worry about the “what else” when it most likely will be nothing. My dad said “most of the stuff you worry about never happens, and if it does it doesn’t amount to much.” Speculation is a seed bed for sin. Did you know that worrying is a sin?
So what do I need to do? I need to move from worry to faith. I don’t know what my doctor will say but I will do what he says. The worse thing that can happen is that I die and go to heaven. And that will not happen until God is finished. I need to remember God has plans for me, loves me, empowers me, has gifted me, will comfort me, provide for me, has forgiven me, will work good for me, and so much more.
I think I am ready to see the doctor. Faith is really good fuel.

good blog there scott... currently i'm dealing with a health issue (an on going thing since november). i had an apt. at the hospital today and had the doctor tell me, "well, let's just try this new stuff for a while, b/c the other medication obviously did not work." it does wear on the faith. i'm trying to look at it as a "what are You trying to teach me through this?" situation, rather than "why are You not fixing this?" our God is big, He is love, He is faithful, His answers are perfect, His timing is perfect. He tests us to refine us. thanks for sharing your thoughts, fears, and resolutions...i'll try to make my own mirror yours. :)
