It's Time (mom)

March 21, 2009

The wait is almost over which is a praise. It has not been all bad because the two or so weeks has given me time to spend in the Word, to talk to friends, to encourage those around me, and to experience the complete love of all the people around me. I believe even God may want this wait to be over so that Heaven will become a little less noisy due to all the prayers of friends and family. I ask one more prayer for tomorrow as I go to the hospital at 5:30 am. I really don’t feel fearful but am a little anxious to have it all done. I have placed the hands of my surgeon in the hands of my God so I am in the best hands ever.

Yesterday was a day of eating Jell-O and chicken broth followed by today’s diet of Jell-O and chicken broth. The only difference was today I got to drink a gallon of stuff that is so terrible that I think it is done so you don’t feel so bad about the surgery. At least they let you sleep during the surgery.

Again, thank you all for your faithful support and prayers. The Lord has continued to keep me wrapped in His arms. If anyone sees anything like strength in me they are looking at the wrong person. I give all the glory to my Lord – without His presence I would be like that bowl of Jell-O. My readings today took me to Isaiah 12:2-3 “Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.” It never ceases to amaze me how He can give me the exact scripture I need at any give time.

I will write you all when I get home from the hospital unless I can write and have Kent type it for me. Love you all.
