A Spring of Joy

I have been clinging to my Bible these days, and I find myself asking Brian question after question each night before we go to bed. Last night I was searching for a specific verse I had read earlier in the day that I wanted to ask him about… a verse I was struggling to believe. I couldn’t remember exactly where it was. I kept saying, “I think it’s Psalm 87:5”, but when I got there, it wasn’t. When I got there I realized that God was leading me to Psalm 87:5 for a specific reason… that I didn’t need to dwell on my doubts last night, but that I needed to hear who I am and how I am loved. God is in the details!

I go in for my scan in 3 hours, and I am hoping to sleep through it (the whole process is 1 1/2 hours… the scan itself isn’t super long) since I didn’t sleep much last night. If I don’t sleep through it, please pray that God would bring to mind years of memorized Scripture rather than for my mind to dwell on the fear and anxiety of why I’m actually having the scan. That I would remember Psalm 87:5-7…

But of Zion it shall be said, “This one and that one were born in her”; and the Most High Himself will establish her. The LORD shall count when He registers the peoples, “This one was born there.” [Selah.] Then those who sing as well as those who play the flutes shall say, “All my springs of joy are in you.”
