I cancelled my appointment today for the next "fill up"! I'm reminded by severval of my friends that are in the medical fields to "LISTEN TO YOUR BODY"!! Well I'm taking their advice and waiting until the 17th for the next 'fill up" because the body is yelling "Yikes"!!
This is suppose to be a true story of my journey....and I hate to admit it....but this has been much more of a challenge than I could have every dreamed. I've now realized I will have pain until this journey is complete! I'm thankful to know that some gals don't have this much pain. So gals..if you reading this journal and about to go through the same surgery....take heart!! I must confess that there are 2 main reasons for so much pain. We have a deadline to complete this journey by Oct. 15 when we close the resort and leave Co....plus I'm trying to keep up with the office work and not resting enough.....but sometimes there aren't other options. It was such a blessing that Michele was here yesterday and coming back today and Sat. It's a relief to be caught up again!!
When I get discouraged....God put's dear people in my life, special songs or awesome devotional...like the one that I read today. It's written by Joni Eareckson Tada:
His Eye Is On The Sparrow
Matthew 10:26-33
"Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father."
English sparrows. They're worth barely a penny (Jesus said so). Yet of the world's nine thousand bird species, the Master singled out the least-noticed and most insignificant of birds to make a point.
If God takes time to keep tabs on every sparrow...who it is, where it's going, whether its needs are being met...then surely he keeps special tabs on you. Intimately. Personally. And with every detail in mind.
The Bible may point to eagles to underscore courage and power, and it may talk about doves as symbols of peace and contentment. But God's Word reserves sparrows to teach a lesson about trust! Just as God tenderly cares for a tiny bird, even making note of when it is harmed, or when it falls to the gournd, he gently reminds you that he is worthy of your greatest trust, your deepest confidence.
Dear ones....I know each and every one of you who are reading this note, has hearts that are hurting, or pain of illness, or family challenges... or some thing that is hard to carry. We all can know that God sees and knows are heart aches and our tears. Make a plan today to see all the "everyday" blessings God is sending your way! I'm watching also ....and may times my mouth drops open and I just simply think....."only God"!!!!
My prayer request would be for Lloyd....He's carrying so much of the load here. He sleep 12 hrs last night...Exhausted. I know it's horrible for him to see me in such pain and not able to change it. He's such a take charge person and always jumps at a chance to "fix thing"...there just isn't an instant fix for me! He's such a sweetheart!! I'm so blessed to hav him as my life mate!
Please continue the prayers for wisdom for me with the drugs....I have dropped 2 percocets these last few days...just using 3 to make it through and lots of Ibuprofen.
Need to sign off and get busy...the day holds much!!
Joyfully His,
Donna
Phil. 4:19 Remember you are not left alone. You will have the help you need. "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus"!! (AWESOME)!!
