"Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed." Proverbs 16:3

Today, grumpy Sofia came out... boy, gotta work on my temper! I've been waiting on Shands to call me... waiting, waiting... so today my good sister Kathy said "Sofia, call them to check"... so I felt God was saying "Sofia, she is right, is the right time to call them"... so I did... talked to the Dr.'s nurse and I asked her... "The Dr. said to FedEx him immediately the first MRI of my brain when the called "stroke" happen, 'cause he will use it at the Team meeting", so I am calling to make sure you guys have receive it... she told me to hold, she will check my file... then she answered and said, sorry, we have not receive it.... WHAT!!! I said... I sent that by FedEx on the 18th ... she asked me for the tracking number... I looked at my copy and realized that the lady at FedEx highlighted the tracking number, but by doing so erased the tracking number... How can that happen, don't ask me, I still wonder... then I call FedEx and they told me that they are sorry, but by phone they can not give you the tracking number??? Can you believe that... ha, ha, ha, now I am laughing... but friends, I was so upset.... of course I called my sister Kathy in a time of breaking point, grumpy, lost, almost crying.... Is so good to have a good friend that you can call anytime and be your ugly self and show it and knowing she will not judge you, not be upset at you, just listen, love you and give you a word of encouragement or advice... Thank you Kathy!
So, after I talked to her and listening to her advice and words of kindness that calmed me down... I rush to FedEx, and the same lady that highlighted my tracking number was there... she apologized and said she will never highlight a tracking number like that again, actually, she was very nice about it, and printed out the information I needed, time and date received and the name of the person that signed for the package... I couldn't be nothing but nice to the lady, she helped me.
Then I called Shands again and talk to the nurse (she put me on hold) when she picked up the phone I felt she was on her knees... she apologized 100 times, she said "Mrs. Wilcox... I am very sorry, our receptionist miss placed your package, I am very, very sorry, but now I have the CD on my hand, I don't know what to tell you ... I am so, so sorry... I will give the CD immediately to the Dr, and knowing him, he'll probably call the "Spine Board Team Meeting" immediately. I am sure he will be calling you first time next week... I am very sorry...
Poor girl, we all make mistakes, I hope and pray the receptionist does not get in too much trouble, I was able to sense the frustration on the lady's voice... told them is ok, that I will wait for the call next week.
Now, I know you my friends are waiting for answers just like me, and may be wondering..."Sofia, you are not living in reality, what's wrong with you, how can you take this that easily?.... Well, after my break down I realized... God is in control first of all, the CD lost somewhere, etc, was not an accident, it happened because God allowed it to happen.... in everything we do, there are no accidents, there is nothing that happens in our lives without God being in control/approval... the way I see it is that the "spine team board meeting" was not meant to happen last week, maybe the right doctors that God wanted were not gonna be there, etc... God wants this meeting to happen tomorrow or next week... and I am good with that, is His perfect timing, His perfect plan for me... whatever is the result, is going to be good... either nothing to worry about, or surgery, or whatever... the result is going to be good because is God's will. So, here I am, crossing my hands and allowing God to work... in the mean time, doing so many more things, loving on my Bethany, loving on friends, and doing things that I have not done before (good ones of course)... it is like God giving me sometime to breath and enjoy, spend time with him.... I am glad they miss placed my CD... ha, ha, ha, I am laughing not stopping!

Personal Note: Today I was thinking about a Public Speaking Class I took when at GCCC, I was not to talk about Jesus they warned me, but I did it either way...ha, ha, ha... you know me... my point was to prove that for any man to fulfill one prophesy the mathematical probability calculated the odds and put it this way...equivalent to covering the entire state of Texas with silver dollar coins 2 feet deep and having a blind folded man find one of them that has a mark on it... probability, the man would have die first before finding the coin.... Do you know how many prophesies Jesus Fulfilled? some educated people in the subject suggest that there is about 300+ Messianic prophesies and Jesus fulfilled more than 100... other scholars suggest even more... Examples... Being born in Bethlehem (you can't choose time or place to be born!) Micah 5:2, Being sold for 30 pieces of silver Zechariah11:12, Garments being parted and lots cast for his garment Psalm 22:18... and so many more that I could write all night long... how did that class go?.... I was bombarded with questions, but the point was clear... people who wants to hear and see will see, if they don't is because they choose not... event though the teacher told me not to talk about Jesus... she gave me an A+ =)
