Spring has sprung & now it's June

A sprung spring, however, is not void of activity ... The MC Joggers have jogged through some personal highs and lows yet we continued forward in our study. In the bible story of the woman who was healed of a hemorrage (story found in Mark 5:25-34) we see a woman who became her own health care advocate and acted in faith.  Dr Oz has been encouraging women & men to follow the same lines of health care as Jesus encouraged. We cannot count on and wait for someone else to step in & assist when we have a need. Rather our responsibility is to step it up ourselves, especially when it comes to health care matters. We can opt to stay a victim or we can step into the stream of life and advocate for ourselves... requesting help, tests, appointments and asking to be put on cancellation lists. No one else is going to do this for us. One of the women in our church family was in pain a few months ago yet she chose to step up her game. She became persistent in seeking health care attention and today she is well because of her determination to nip something in the bud. We need to encourage one another to be bold and strong, to lift one another in prayer, to walk along side each other, and know that God is with us.
