I just finished typing up a praise report for the church newsletter and it reminds me of how much we need to focus on the faithfulness of God. I have no doubt that God will take care of me tomorrow during my procedure. I have had over 40 years of yesterdays to know He is faithful. He has also given me a peace and contentment about it. I am thankful for all the prayers going up at this time as well. Prayer keeps the physician’s hand steady, or better yet, it puts his hands in the hand of The Great Physician.
The actual procedure is fascinating. I tell people that it is one of those procedures you would like to watch happen on a monitor, if it wasn’t you it was happening too. They stick an instrument down your throat and they work down to where the pancreas connects to your stomach. Depending on what they see, they will be looking to put a stint in the valve. They cannot be sure this will fix the problem, but pray it does. I love the incredible support you have all shown through prayers, food, and offering to help. I am encouraged by all the love you have expressed. The way I see it, my worse-case scenario is that I die and go to heaven – not really a down side.
Until Tuesday, God Bless.
You’re in our thoughts and prayers each day.
God loves you and we do too. Stick around a while longer, don’t be in a hurry. We will continue the prayers.
