Day 63

I made it through another day. I did not think I was going to be able to get my ten things done today but I managed to pull it off.  I am still enjoying my ten things extra things. I need to get started on my patio bricks soon. It has been cold and damp the last several days so I have stayed away from the cold garage but I will try to get to it soon.

I practiced the piano and Spanish today. I worked on algebra and I am doing a lot better. I read my books and worked on my course I am finishing. I have now gone through all my past notes and lectures and am ready to move forward. I added another recipe to my cookbook and wrote in my journal. I am thankful that I have had time to do those things and I am very blessed to have a husband that is always a strong supporter of mine when I desire to do something.

Most of all I am thankful for my heavenly Father who never ceases to amaze me by the love he has for us and the time he takes to show us things that have special meaning to us alone that we know could only come from him. He is with us all the time.We are never alone. I even ask him to go shopping with me. He helps me find great deals on the exact things I need. He likes us to include him in every area of our life.You will never find anyone smarter, he has a great sense of humor, there will never be anyone more forgiving and compassionate, and he can do the impossible.

This spring I was having a lot of pressure in my side that made me feel miserable every time I ate, drank anything over even chewed a piece of gum. It felt like a large balloon being blown up in my side. I had it for about five months .Dr.Lally sent me to have a HIDA scan in May and then the pressure was so bad I thought my side would burst when I was laying on the table. I had a follow up with her a week after and it was even more bothersome. She said I had Biliary Dyskenesia and the only thing she could do was remove my gall bladder and that it would not go away. I told her if it was not going to kill me than I was going to keep my gall bladder.

 I did not want to have any more surgery. I left her office feeling disappointed. I got out to my car and just sat there. I finally closed my eyes and prayed and I told God I did not want anymore organs removed . He created me with them and I wanted to keep the rest of them and I asked him to be my physician and told him I was surrendering the entire situation to him and that I was not going to do anything about it. I meant it with all of my heart.When I woke up the next morning and ate breakfast I noticed it was gone. It has not came back since that day in my car in May. It has now been about seven months.Now that is LOVE.

The LORD longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion.  ISAIAH 30:18
