Moving forward with EXCITEMENT!

Ice Cube said it best...
"Today Was A Good Day!"

A BIG THANK YOU to those of you who continue to pray for me, my family and friends, for the encouraging words that you speak to me, and the continued care and concern that each of you show!

Well..... WOW! and Thank You Jesus! is all I can say today!!

This past week has been somewhat trying, nerve racking and to say the least, draining, BUT, I am still giving PRAISES to my Heavenly Father!

Today, my surgeon, Dr. Stanley Hoehn, gave me the FINAL clearance for surgery. Today, He and I spent quite a bit of time together. He went over every single page of reports that he has received from the different medical procedures, blood work, etc., that I have had done in the past 8 months, and when I say every report, I mean every report. This man is very thorough and explained in detail what each report read. Long story short, everything looked fantastic and the only minor issue that I have is a deficiency in vitamin D....problem solved, I stopped by the drug store, picked up a bottle of Vitamin D and all is good in the neighborhood!! LOL!!

Surgery is scheduled Monday, September 28th at 8:45am. I am very excited and somewhat nervous, but, I know without a doubt, that I am doing the right thing to get my life back in order from a health perspective.

As you go through the week, I ask that if at any point, you are thinking about me, stop what you are doing and say a prayer. The word of God says that when there are two or three who come together in His name, that He will be amongst them.

As I always say...

YOU ARE #1 IN YOUR LIFE!!

remember to first take care of yourself and then those around you!!

As I close this blog entry this evening, I am reminded to pray a special prayer for our soldiers who are fighting for us overseas.

Also, I ask that you pray for my wonderful friend Robyn's dad, pray for his strength, healing and peace during this time of radiation treatment, and pray for Robyn and her family as they walk this journey with him!!

KJV Matthew 18:20 - For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

Until the next update,

God Speed!

Update: Wednesday, September 23rd - Please continue to keep Robyn and her family in prayer. Today, her father-in-law was admitted to the hospital after a visit to have an MRI done. The results show that he has had a stroke. Robyn is very stressed with everything that is going on with her family, so I ask that you pray for her peace!
