I love answers to prayers that I wasn't even praying!

Next week a health seminar sponsored by our church starts. It's on Tuesday & Thursday evenings. My dh could benefit from attending, although he has made quite a few changes that would be recommended. Still, positive reinforcement never hurts, and he can also be a witness to anyone from the community who is attending and thinking "Wow, this is a lot to change--I could never do that!" There's only one teeny tiny problem--my dh's work schedule conflicted with his attending the seminar. I just figured to myself "oh well, no big deal, I guess he just won't make this one." I believe God has a different idea, however, because dh's friend needed to trade a shift--and guess what? DH now has Tuesday off next week! And here I wasn't even worrying about this or praying that he'd be able to go. I have no idea what, or if, God has in store to get him there for the other 5 sessions (also work nights) but I'm not going to worry about it. If he's meant to be there, he'll be there!

Today's Praise!

My dh is going back to work tonight! You may remember, he had a heart attack Memorial Weekend, and he's been off work ever since. Off work means no incidental income because he's not technically f/t, so he doesn't get paid sick time, or benefits. No biggie, except when he has to be off ;-) Anyway, he's doing really well--he's building good exercise habits, and he has a stash of healthy foods ready to take and squirrel away at work instead of eating pizza and junk food all the time.

One other great piece of news. He had a lipid profile drawn last week, and his cholesterol dropped from over 300 when he had the heart attack, to 147 now! That's >50% in 2 months! A bit of the credit can go the medication he's on, but that would only have dropped his level 20%--the rest of the credit goes to his exercising and eating a vegetarian diet. Rock on, hubby :-0
