The Last Supper

Today was an exhausting day. Still haven't completely unpacked the new office. Almost completely packed my bag. Cleaned up the kitchen and tackled the microwave. Got dizzy from bending over and looking up so anyone that comes over here - just don't look at the top inside of the microwave.

Bought dirt and flowers today for the new window boxes. I wasn't terribly smart and took the car. Now, the car is full of dirt. However, the boxes look beautiful with the flowers in them. Fell over again today while I was planting the flowers. I bent down to pick up the empty flower boxes, got dizzy and toppled right over. Landed on the step ladder and now have a bruise on my stomach. Glad no one was driving by. Just sat there for about a minute until the dizziness passed.

My parents took my husband and I to dinner tonight for my last supper before surgery. Mexican, my favorite. Nice to have good conversation, good food and a relaxing couple of hours.

I've received lots of nice comments on Facebook and had phone calls and texts from friends to remind me that they're praying for me. God has blessed me with more good friends than a person deserves and they've all been such an encouragement to me these last few months.

As my daughter would say, all I've got left is a "wake-up". I've got to be at the hospital at 5:15 a.m. That's WAY early for me so hopefully I'll be more sleepy than nervous although I will admit that the nerves are kicking in today. I think it's from talking to everyone about what's going to happen. Though no one knows what the outcome of the surgery will be, I'm grateful for the opportunity to try for some relief. God is my strength and my refuge. Whom then shall I fear?

"Well, there's all kind of trouble weighing me down
I hear the voice of confusion trying to turn me around
But I'm bound and determined to see this thing through
Until the end of my struggle, here's what I'm going to do

I'm gonna keep the rocks silent for one more day
I don't know about you
But I'll keep praising His name
I'm gonna keep the rocks silent for one more day

Now, I've been fighting the good fight mile after mile
But my burden is lifted after just a little while
You see I'm bound and determined, I made up my mind
I may not know the answer but in the meantime

I'm gonna keep the rocks silent for one more day
I don't know about you
But I'll keep praising His name
I'm gonna keep the rocks silent for one more day

Now, I don't know much of nothing about the end of of my days
But I know a little something about the power of praise
'Cause I've been bound and determined, right from the start
To keep a rock in my hand and praise in my heart

I'm gonna keep the rocks silent for one more day
I don't know about you
But I'll keep praising His name
I'm gonna keep the rocks silent for one more day"
