Greetings
PRAISE THE LORD! PRAISE AND THANKS BE TO GOD!
We are indeed so happy today! All is going well! Marty has not had a headache since before surgery. Her breast has not had the same kind of pain today; it has been more from the surgery and the J-P drainage tube. Praise the Lord! Dr. Kelly, the surgeon, was just in and changed the dressing. She thought that all looked good and was going well. The area was still swollen and red, but certainly did not look as bad as it did before surgery. So, there is no doubt that this needed to be done.
Actually, it did not really surprise Marty and me because, last Saturday we talked about the surgery possibly being needed. As we saw that breast get worse with redness, swelling, tightness and pain, we just figured the implant would have to come out. We are just so grateful that the surgery went well and that it does seem to be helping the entire situation. Praise the Lord!
We never know what a day may bring, but the hour for serving God is ALWAYS present. This is God’s commission and His commandment to us, that is so often very difficult for us to remember and practice. When a day brings us something that we are not expecting at all, it is often very difficult for us to focus on God, rather we tend to focus on our situation and our will.
I think about this now, because Opera just had a young man on the show that was struck by lightening and she asked him what his first thought was. This teenager responded to Opera by saying that he prayed to God, saying “God if I am to die, so be it, but if I am to live, please send help!” WOW, what a statement of faith. I am truly impressed by this young man and give God praise and thanks for his testimony.
I am also truly impressed with my wife and how she has come through the last 7 – 8 days. It has been obvious that she has been very sick and in a lot of pain which was trying its best of her to get her completely down. But, she never gave up her faith, nor did I ever hear her question her faith in God. She continued her study of the Word, as well as her devotional and prayer life, to be close to the Lord, and to seek God’s help and will. Praise the Lord and thank you God!
At present, we do not know how much longer it will take to get all of the infection out of Marty’s body, and/or how much longer we will have to stay here at St. V’s, but again we know that the Great Physician is indeed in charge, is here with us, and is ministering to us. Praise the Lord! And thanks to all of you for your support, prayers, and encouragement. They all certainly mean a lot and are very helpful.
Have a positive evening in the presence of our God.
