Where do I begin with so much to catch up on? I’ll start with the Lady’s Tea Party at church today, it was such a wonderful, spirit filled time with our new Pastors wife Patty. She is such a breath of fresh air and just a joy to have as part of our church family, we thank God that he sent both of them to us. We had tons of food and a variety of teas and we have Roseanne to thank for her unbelievable skill at putting these events together. We all look forward to many years together as we grow in the Lord.
Now to catch you all up on my latest adventures! Well you know that I had my second hip surgery on the 22nd and praise God all went well. I came home on the 24th and the following day began at home P.T and a few days later a nurse came to draw blood (apparently I can run but I can’t hide) to keep a check on my hemoglobin which is still running very low. So far I have done 3 P.T’s at home and will do no more because I am well schooled in what to do and am of course doing it, in fact I was driving by the following Sunday. On Tuesday the 8th I had a post surgery follow up with Dave Summerfield, Dr. Hammum’s P.A, he removed 2 stitches and the bandage, said everything looked great, called me Trouble (I can’t imagine why) and said to come back in 4 weeks. My sister Sheila was with me and I am so thankful because as we were heading to checkout I tripped over my own cane and she caught me!! I bet it took us 20 minutes to get our heart rates back to normal, scared the meanness out of both of us. Anyway as is my bad habit I over did it and had to stay home and rest the next day but do you think I learned my lesson? of course not. I figure that whenever I’m having a good day I might as well do all that I can do which is what I did Wednesday and Thursday so of course when I had to be at Dr. McNulty’s on Friday I was tired before I ever got started. Oh well…
Friday’s appointment went well and the doctor wants to start cutting down my pain meds (slowly) and I’m all for that although I will probably always need something for pain but lower doses. Mama was with me and I hope that she knows how much it means to me to have her there, she just makes me feel calmer somehow.
Just recently God revealed something amazing to me and at first I thought I was nuts but I have no doubt that it was God. So what was the revelation? God revealed to me that it is not my time to die!!! He didn’t reveal why or what he has planned for me (I did ask but I guess he wants to surprise me). I’m still reeling from this because I have always been ready and at peace with dying and then God throws me a curve ball!! He’s such a funny God.
So there you are, my life up to this point. I will never stop being amazed by our God or grateful for every mountain and valley he gives me to face and as long as I put him first and trust him always then I can handle anything.
1 Peter 1:7
“That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ.”
