Faith…
In the Merriam-Webster Dictionary the definition of faith is ‘A firm belief in something for which there is no proof’.
In the Bible, in Hebrews 11:1 the definition of faith is ‘Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen’.
You need to know that at this point all I have to hold on to is my faith in God. The faith that I have in my Lord and Savior that He will see me thru to the end.
Take a seat and prepare yourself for what you are about to read. What I call the roller coaster of life has just taken an unexpected turn.
Immediately after sending the update out on Saturday I went to get the mail. There was an envelope from the Social Security office, I was so excited thinking that this would provide the dollar amount of what I will be receiving and the date of when I will be able to expect the money.
Oh… how wrong I was… This letter was from the judge who heard my case; as expected, it states that the judge’s final decision was made in my favor. I was under the impression that this was the final decision, and there was to be no further discussion.
But then it continued on to read that whether or not I request it, an appeals court may review the decision within the next 60 days. This appeals court has the authority to either allow the decision to stand or to overturn the judge’s decision. Please keep in mind it only states that they may, (meaning they may or may not) review the case. If they are going to review the case they must notify me within the next 60 days.
The appeals court has the authority to overturn the decision without cause. If this is done then I will need to appeal the decision, and the journey will begin again.
I spoke with my attorney Sunday evening and she said that with the medical information I have, my case should not be overturned. She has not seen a ruling overturned for anyone with the documentation that I have. Regardless, the possibility of a review still remains.
Nobody warned me of this, the judge didn’t say anything after ruling in my favor, my lawyer never muttered a word; I had no idea this was coming. I immediately called Jeralynn; I asked her if she remembered anything being mentioned at the hearing, “not a word”, she said.
I’m losing my insurance on April 1st, this means no more medications. I am counting on this money and the fact that I will soon be receiving Medi-Care benefits.
As I have said before, my greatest wish is that you would all come to know my Lord and Savior as I do. I will be up front with you, when one chooses to receive the gift of eternal life thru Jesus Christ there is no guarantee of a perfect life. But you need to realize that Christ has not walked away from me; He is going thru this journey with me every step of the way, be it good or bad.
I want you to know that because I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ that I am going to continue to trust in my Lord. I will hold on to the faith I have that that He will see me thru. My God has not brought me this far to watch me fall.
(Psalm 17:6-9NKJV
6 I have called upon You, for You will hear me, O God; incline Your ear to me, and hear my speech.7 Show Your marvelous loving kindness by Your right hand, O You who save those who trust in You from those who rise up against them.8 Keep me as the apple of Your eye; hide me under the shadow of Your wings,9 From the wicked who oppress me, from my deadly enemies who surround me.)
The God I serve is a loving, caring God; He is not causing this to happen. We live in a sinful world where wrong things happen, bad things happen, a world that is not perfect and where justice does not always prevail.
However, prayer is powerful and I know that God hears the prayers of the righteous.
(I Peter 3:12KJV
12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.)
I am sending this update out to specifically ask that you start praying.
~ Please join me over the next 60 days in praying that this decision be held up in court.
~ Pray that this decision will not be overturned.
~ Please pray that God will provide peace that surpasses all understanding.
(Philippians 4:7KJV
7 And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.)
With Love,
Diana
My relationship with Jesus is a true one; He is there for me day and night. You have witnessed that He is all that I hold onto. If you have any questions about my relationship with Jesus or how you can have a relationship with Him please let me know. I would love to have a conversation with you and introduce you to my Lord.
