Be Ye Separate

Yet Another Update!

Blessings!

   Well, it just keeps coming:P

   WRONG RIB! Need I say more? Of COURSE!:P

   Okay, here's what has happened. They did the CT scan last night and found that they had taken out the wrong rib. If that's not bad enough it seems that they were not off by ONE but by TWO ribs! Yikes!:P

   They are going to go back in to take out the right rib this afternoon around 2pm. Now that they have a real landmark (a missing rib) they know exactly where it is and will get the right one this time. This also means that Brother Craig will NOT be coming today OR tomorrow.

   I spent a lot of time reflecting on things last night. What else COULD I do? Trying to sleep with my sweet husband in the hospital in pain makes it just a little impossible.:s

   God has such wonderful plans for all of His children. Even though I'm not quite sure what His plan is for us in all this, we are trusting that He will see us through this valley as He promises He will "never leave you nor forsake you." What an awesome God we serve:)

   I had prayed that the bone they got was the right one and that he had simply been healed by the hand of God. However, deep down I knew that they had made a mistake. Being so sure of that I had to do a bit of searching within myself to find the Glory that is His and His alone. I think that our faith shines through, more brightly, at times like this. When satan has his claws anchored into situations like this, tempting us to fall apart and pass blame, our faith is stronger than his whole army of demons. God is our fortress. He is our rock and foundation. The cornerstone! Without Him there is no order.

   He didn't cause any of this to happen, He allowed it. Perhaps He allowed it so that others could see that not all of humankind is angry and spiteful. Perhaps it was to humble ourselves in a time when we were feeling a little puffed up. Who knows. Only God does:)

   Am I still worried? Of course! Am I feeling stressed? Of course! But I know that no matter how weary I feel or stressed out I become, God is still God and He is still in control:)

   I'll update as we go along today.

   Have a wonderful God filled day!

God be with thee!

Oh, it sounds like you all had quite an exhausting day. I really feel for you. I was quite shocked to read on Mary Ann's blog that they had taken the wrong rib. I'm so sorry that you've all had to go through so much, but I will continue to pray and watch for news. We know our Lord is faithful.

Hugs,

Amy
