They told me to stop taking my vitamins and supplements one week before my surgery. That makes for an unusual pill box! Usually the compartments are full to the brim with a kaleidoscope of colors. But without these pills, there are only 2 little white pills in the am and 1 little pill in the pm compartments.
Each day as I take my boring little white pills, I see that I am getting closer to the day of my surgery. Now there are only 2 left in the am and 2 left in the pm. As I empty out those compartments, I can choose to increase my anxiety or increase my faith.
Believe me, I have those moments when fear overcomes me and I start crying. When those times come I try to think about all our Great God has done for me. That helps me to put my focus where it belongs, and trust that God is in control! It is not always easy. A friend has given me this verse and it helps tremendously:
“I have set the Lord continually before me; because He is at my right hand, I will NOT be shaken.” (Psalm 16:8)
