'God in the details'

Well, I have to tell you, the last week and 1/2 have been a challenge... we are struggling to 'not grow weary'. Steve will be having another procedure done on Friday morning at Trinity Hospital in Birmingham. He wasn't feeling a whole lot better after the gallbladder surgery, so today he had more bloodwork and the doctor thinks the problem is with in bile duct...that perhaps it is still obstructed or constricted. Anyway, he is sending Steve to Dr. Sigmund, who has done this procedure many times. He'll have this done Friday morning and we'll come home Sat.

Due to Steve's mobility being compromised by the gallbladder surgery, he hurt his right knee when he was trying to get out of the bed. It's a little set back but I know as soon as he feels better he will make up for the lost time. Your continued prayers are needed and greatly appreciated. Please pray that the high enzyme level in the liver is due to the bile duct and pray that the procedure goes smoothly. Thank you so much for your prayers and concerns. I don't know what I'd do without you.


"But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40: 31

  1. 2 Corinthians 12:9 says My grace is sufficient for you;for my power is made perfect in weakness.
    Right now we are praying for you to feel the sufficiency of His grace! Your testimony continues to point others to the kingdom and the power of an awesome God. Love you!

  2. I know you feel the presence of God in your lives as we continue to pray. Even so, the days grow long when we continue to find ourselves in the "waiting" rather than the "moving on" situations. These scriptures came to mind today:
    "Where could I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, you are there; If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me!" Psalm 139:7-10
    "The Lord says, 'Don not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold I will do a new thing, now shall it spring forth; and you shall know it!'" Isaiah 43:18-19
    "May God Himself, the God who makes everything holy and whole, make you holy and whole, put you together--spirit, soul, and body-- and keep you fit!" 1 Thessalonians 5:23
    "Jesus said, 'Come to me , all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and you will find rest for your souls.'" Matthew 11:28-29
    You've been through so much. He is faithful and will continue to carry you through as He continues to do new things in your lives each day. Our hearts are heavy with yours in the waiting. We so desperately desire Steve's improved health and well-being. We continue to pray for you in the waiting! WE love you guys!
