UNEXPECTED HOSPITAL ENCORE

UNEXPECTED HOSPITAL ENCORE
Sunday, October 30, 2022 by Leona Choy

I spent 5 days recently in the hospital related to my Congestive Heart Failure. Whatever the deficiencies and disorders of my physical heart, I don't want to “lose heart” in my faithfulness to the Lord regardless of advanced years and growing limitations. I want to flesh out the plan God revealed to me for the rest of the way journey in my “earth suit”.]

The BACKSTORY: (Forgive my hasty composition)

LEONA TO GOD: What's next on Your life plan for me in this unexplored, nonagenarian adventure toward my century mark?

GOD TO LEONA: Your next life lesson is to put into practice more intensely and practically what you share with others of what I am teaching you. I'm sending you another hospital experience.

LEONA: Are You sending me there for my illness benefit?

GOD: Yes, for all the tests and care I want you to receive, but beyond that, I have a larger plan. I want You to touch the lives of the medical personnel whom I have planted there from many countries and others I will bring into your orbit.

LEONA: This longevity journey You have blessed me with—It’s not an easy road, Lord, since my get-up-and-go has gotten up and gone.

GOD: I have planned the temporary Earth life as a proving ground for my children, a practice field where you learn to trust Me and prepare for the wonders of Eternal Life ahead. It may seem like a roller coaster ride at times, but I will give you My strength.

LEONA: You won't forsake me during this white-hair season of my life when the way grows steep and rough?

GOD: I have created you, taught you from your youth, and will carry you all the way and deliver you into my Kingdom and its everlasting glories. I change not, nor do My promises fail. (Isaiah 46:4)

LEONA: What is my part for the rest of my way?

GOD: To show My strength to your present generation and your power to the generation to come and those yet unborn—to leave a godly legacy, (Psalm 71:17,18) and allow Me to complete the plan I destined for your life. (Phil.1:6)

LEONA: How do You want me to do that?

GOD: I will show you as we go along. For now, journal the present lessons I am teaching you in the blog posts for your readers while you are in this final season of life. I intend it to benefit many readers who will eventually walk the same road toward their Finish Line.

LEONA: Yes, Lord, I shall do whatever pleases You.

[TO THE READERS OF MY WEBSITE: So this is what you may expect to see in the foreseeable future along with my posts on the issues of the day—as long as the Lord wills.]

BEGINNING TO FLESH OUT MY MISSION:

[During my recent hospital adventure, God gave me the incredible opportunity to interact personally in friendships with medical people from over a dozen different countries without traveling beyond my home! I planted seeds with my life and my books which I gave as gifts for their professional and courteous care while I was their patient.

God, the Holy Spirit, is in control of the receptiveness of the living soil into which the seed falls, whether good ground or hard and thorny. God has also given me a glimpse of how He wishes me to carry out His plans for my continued calling in the circle of my influence, as long as He gives me breath and keeps my heart beating. As God gives the opportunity and strength, likely through the extensive inter-generational relationships with the loved ones and friends in my life, I hope to continue with joy to carry out for awhile God's plan for touching this generation and the generation to come for His glory.]

Sherry, one of the reasons I hoped to attend Britt' s baby shower was to meet you at last. We will have to arrange that soon.

Thanks for reaching out Leona! As the son of your cousin Godfrey, we share some of those beautiful Czech ??. I’ve spent 25 days in the hospital the past year with the “C” issue. With a 3xbypass, 10 stents and a nonunion sternum, it’s tough but still buying green bananas ??! Hang in there! Keep writing

Your Dad my first cousin "Bohoush" would be proud of your courage and endurance, as am I. Yes, let's persevere with God's help.

Leona, I am so grateful for you and our connection through our Lord. I am looking forward to the day we will meet one day in heaven. Thank you for sharing God's love and goodness with us. Blessing to you as you draw nearer to your final journey. ?

I too love that God connected us. But our earth-prognosis is the same for all "earthlings" - we all are fragile clay pots awaiting our glorified bodies when Jesus returns and resurrects those earth-suits.

Love you, Bubi. You’re so special and loved. I hope to come visit soon. Xox

Leona, Sorry to know you are not well again. I admire your faith and willingness to be used by God. May our God hold your hands tightly and give you peace in the coming days. We are winner in both ends of the world. His love never ends.

Thanks for prayers, love, emails, responses. Continuing meds to keep condition stable. No procedure to “fix” long term heart damage. No “get well, recovery, or get better” just slow down “getting worse.” Alone now at home. Help available if needed. God is good--all the time. The joy of the Lord is my strength.
