Friends

Didn't sleep well last night. Got up and sat in a chair in the living room for about an hour. It helped my head to stop pounding. Wish I could take something to help easy the pain in my head, shoulders and back when I lay down. Nothing seems to touch it. All in all, I think I got about 4 good hours of sleep. Ugh...

Today was a good day although I woke up with a headache, as usual. This morning, my husband and I went to get a pedicure together. Toenails were looking way too long and I needed them to be pretty for the surgical nurses. :o)

Later, I went to a friends house where she served some of us lunch. There's no way that I can adequately describe how much I love my friends - the ones that were there and the ones that couldn't be there. We laughed, we cried, they encouraged me and prayed for me. I know that I have prayer warriors that have been and will continue to lift me up to the Father through this whole process. I do NOT take them for granted.

I joined another good friend for dinner. We laughed a lot but didn't cry...

5 days until surgery. God reminded me today that I'm one very lucky girl. He is not a bit surprised at the turn my life has taken and has already made provision for whatever I will need. He has provided me with a beautiful family, a home, a job and blessed me with wonderful friends who love and support me. When you look at the bottom line, what more could a girl possibly ask for?

"The eyes that see a sparrow fall, sees my need before I call. Isn't that just like God? When I question if He even cares, He answers my unspoken prayer. Isn't that just like God?"

  1. My very dear sister-in-law: I am one of those friends who can't be with you as you walk this difficult journey, but I am asking the One who can be with you every moment to send you my love, and more importantly, His. I ask for guidence for the surgeons, no complications and complete healing. I am grateful to all who live close enough to minister to you now and as you recover. To you, my amazing brother, Wes, and your lovely daughter, Alex - May our Father hold you very close. Many hugs, Terry
