Another Moment to Praise God

Well, I'm having a cyst removed from my hand tomorrow. Yesterday the surgery facility said they may call today if Dr. Kobza changed the time, that sometimes he'll come in earlier. Well, they called today but he was wanting to push it back to 10:45 instead of 9:00. I asked if he forgot I was hypoglycemic and he told me to schedule it first thing in the morning. So, I called his office and they took my number and said they'd call me back.

So then, we were trying to decide if we should go through with the surgery or postpone it. If we go through with it, theoretically I would be fine, because they would give me an IV of sugar, but the idea just makes me nervous. If we chose to wait until he can be there earlier or another physician can do it earlier, we would be into the new year and have to pay the deductible again.

So I prayed, read some scripture and Psalm 106:44-48 popped out at me. Literally, within 30 minutes, after I started expecting them never to call me back, they did call back. And he was able to rearrange his schedule and get me in at 8:30. Something I so did not expect! So, I had to share and give Glory to God. He does answer prayers...keep the faith!

So, I will be having my surgery tomorrow. Please be in prayer for me. I know it's a comparatively minor surgery, but with the lightheadedness I've been having, I was concerned about fasting for it. And we all know that things can go ary even in minor surgeries. So I would appreciate your prayers for everything to go smoothly tomorrow.

Too Cute!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a nice Thanksgiving! Had so many laughs at the things the kiddos said. Raegan was just starting to fall asleep as we were arriving at Lovelady, so she was a little groggy and grumpy. Well, after playing a little and a handful of screams, Ty says, "Why is she so grumpy?" LOL Then later at the table, Peter was getting a little fussy and Ty says, "Why are you acting like Raegan?"!!! He's sooo cute! Then little Hannah arrived and I guess it's been almost a year since she's seen Raegan. She comes in and Brent is holding Bethany, looks up at Bethany and says, 'Hi Raegan!" LOL Too precious!

Here's a few pictures I took today...

Psalm 91:9-16 (New International Version)

⁹ If you make the Most High your dwelling—
even the LORD, who is my refuge-

¹⁰ then no harm will befall you,
no disaster will come near your tent.

¹¹ For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;

¹² they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

¹³ You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

¹⁴ "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

¹⁵ He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.

¹⁶ With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation."

Just another testament to how much we are loved by God. Here's the PROMISE that He will command His angels to guard you in all your ways. WOW! They will lift us up in their hands, so that I won't even strike my foot on a stone! Amazing, just amazing. Read this today, and just was wondering why we don't pray this for our loved ones (and ourselves) more often.

LORD, Most High, You are awesome! Your love for sinners like me just amazes me. So does your faithfulness. Lord, I fail you often. I know my sinful nature is constantly battling my desire to serve you. And yet, You are faithful to forgive me when I do things I do not want to do. I am so thankful for your forgiveness and grace. I am so thankful You love each and every one of us the way You do. Thank You for the promises You give us in Your Word. Thank You for knowing and meeting all our needs. Father God, I pray that I will conintually make You my dwelling place and refuge. And I pray I will remember to acknowlegde your name, always. God I ask that you will keep my loved ones or turn my loved ones toward You. You know and love them just the same. I pray they will forever make You their dwelling place and refuge. And God I just thank you again for your forgiveness through Christ Jesus. Help me to embody your characteristics of love, grace, mercy, forgiveness and compassion to my neighbors. Help me to radiate Jesus and glorify You. It is through Jesus that I boldly come to You. Amen.
