Though the Lord is high, yet he has respect to every lowly, humbled sinner; but the proud and unbelieving will be banished far from his blissful presence. Divine consolations have enough in them to revive us, even when we walk in the midst of troubles.

And God will save his own people that they may be revived by the Holy Spirit, the Giver of life and holiness.

If we give to God the glory of his mercy, we may take to ourselves the comfort. This confidence will not do away, but quicken prayer.

Whatever good there is in us, it is God works in us both to will and to do. The Lord will perfect the salvation of every true believer, and he will never forsake those whom he has created anew in Christ Jesus unto good works.

Surgery #2 - DONE

Chance had the 2nd surgery on his wrist today to remove the rods that were put in the first part of December. This has been a very long healing period. He goes back to the Dr in two weeks to remove the stitches and then on to Physical Therapy! We will get the schedule for his therapy, I'm guessing, when he goes back to see the Dr. I'm so thankful things have gone as well as they have and that he is well on his way to recovery. Now, if I could convince not to get on the skateboard - that would be great! Don't think that's going to happen!

I've been scheduled for a stress test, an echocardiogram and lab tests and then to see my cardiologist next month. Not fun - but a yearly occurrence! I was really supposed to go in last September and have all the tests done, but I was going through some difficult things in my personal life and just never did schedule them.

I love my cardiologist - he took care of both my mom and dad, too. He also takes care of my brother-in-law, who has serious heart problems! Over the years, he's become a good friend as well as our doctor! Every time I see him, he talks about my parents. I love that he remembers them so well and even little details - he remembers. He always talks to me about how much he cared for them and what good people he thought they were!

Tomorrow, I will spend the day packing and moving! The plan is to be completely moved within the next two weeks. It's tough - not something I thought would ever take place. I just pray that everything can go smoothly and hearts will be healed!

    First of all, congratulations on your beautiful granddaughter - she is absolutely precious!

    Secondly, I apologize for not visiting at all this past month. I've been kind of taking a break for awhile.

    Thirdly - what is this about a move?

    And lastly, I hope your son is healing quickly, and that your medical tests go well.

    Take care, my friend - God bless!

    Valerie,
    It's nice to hear from you. I, too, have kind of taken a break.

    Thank you for the complement on my new granddaughter. I agree completely, she is a beautiful baby and she's very good for her mommy.

    I am moving - my husband and I are separating after 19 years. It's something I never expected - but it's here and I'm doing my best to deal with it! I began seeing a counselor - who is a Christian, almost seven weeks ago. She's great and I'm very comfortable with her. There are many things in my life which have been pushed somewhere in my mind and she's helping me to remember and recognize the events that have led me to the person I am today. I'm apprehensive about the future - but am putting my faith and trust in God and believing that he has brought J (my counselor) into my life at exactly the time I needed. I feel hope for the future which is something I've not felt for a very long time.

    Thank you for being my friend and I'll be back to visit soon!

    In His Love and Blessings,
