So to say that the past few days have been a "whirlwind" would be leaving out the fact that Nashville has had a tornado and severe flooding for the past 48 hours...that the roof of my dorm has been leaking and now my floor has no running water...that I am having a neurological allergic reaction to the polio vaccine I got on Wednesday...that I went to the ER a few nights ago for muscle tremors, dizziness, nausea, and severe headache and met with an Indian neurologist (chance? I think not :)) who thinks I had a seizure, and my body is freaking out in response to the vaccine...that despite all of this, our Father promises:
1 But now, this is what the LORD says—
he who created you, O Jacob,
he who formed you, O Israel:
"Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
2 When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
3 For I am the LORD, your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;
I give Egypt for your ransom,
Cush [a] and Seba in your stead.
4 Since you are precious and honored in my sight,
and because I love you,
I will give men in exchange for you,
and people in exchange for your life.
5 Do not be afraid, for I am with you;
I will bring your children from the east
and gather you from the west."
He is so good--and I am so overwhelmed by His care for ALL His children that are "precious and honored in my sight," and I'm brought to my knees by His grace---that no matter what storm or fire in my life that I may face now or while I am India, He is there...that no matter how faithless I am, He is always faithful.
