Thank you Fran.
The same God that brought me through eye surgery will be with me during my next surgery. My first cornea transplant was in 1978 at Emory, and I had a brilliant Christian surgeon. He would say to me “I am just the surgeon, God does the healing…keep on praying.” I knew that anyway, but to have your doctor say that was awesome. God put me there…because I had no clue when I first went to Emory who I would see. My church family and close Christian friends were praying for me, and it meant so much. I still attend the same church, and some of those same people will be praying for me this time. This time I chose my doctors, after much prayer, and they are Christians. I don’t think I would be anxious at all but I have heard of quite a few simple surgeries going wrong lately. This is the devil wanting me to doubt.
But, I am drawing strength from prayers, my knowledge of the Lord, his promises, His uncondtional love, and these devotions and comments… which are also the Lord. PRAISE HIM!!
Anne Graham Lotz mentioned last November, at the Cove, that her mother was so weak but was drawing strength from the way she had lived her life for the Lord.
Hebrews 13:5 “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”
I feel your prayers…the peace is here. Thank you, and I truly praise God for you. May His many blessings bring you much joy today!!!!
Thanks to all you precious ladies that encourage and uplift me with your words of wisdom, and prayers daily. It means
so much. Blessings!!
Psalms 18:32 “It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.”

For Dear June L!

Have August 29th written down and praying already..but we will pray even more right near the date! Thought that wonderful Mother Teresa thought would cheer! Any time surgery involved, we all get anxious..But, in your case!!! Angels will be all around and you will come through this thing like Gold!! (I have your same trouble, but surgery isn’t an option here..But, somehow, the Lord keeps me! It is a daily miracle!). You are a dear and caring voice here on the blog..and soooooo many prayers will be lifted, yours will be an amazing recovery time, too! God Bless you, dear June L!! (((((((June L)))))))

Sharonb, and Fran D thank you so much for your encouraging words and prayers. I will go ahead and tell you a little more about my surgery. It is a bladder tack, and hysterectomy…and I know: a common surgery, but still I can’t help but be a little anxious. Any time they put me to sleep and are going to cut on me I get anxious. Fran, what you quoted from Mother Teresa is what I have been feeling the last few weeks. “God is already in our tomorrows”…sooooooooooo true. My primary doctor told me over a year ago that my bladder had dropped and I needed to see a Urologist. Afraid of, and not wanting surgery, I put it off. After all one of my sisters has had a bladder tack 3 times and it didn’t work. Then in February the doctor told me my uterus had dropped and was in the severe stage. Of course, I realized something severe was wrong…if any of you know what a prolapsed uterus in the severe stage is: you will know what I am talking about. Yet, I am in very little pain, and the closer I get to my surgery date, the more at peace I feel. Praise God for these encouraging devotions and uplifting comments from all of you. They are from God and have given me much peace.
And Ladies, please take care of your body, and listen to your doctor. I believe if I had gone last year I would have been able to avoid this hysterectomy. And then I had to put the surgery off in the spring because of my husband’s open heart surgery May 2nd. He is doing great now, and I can’t wait for him to get to play nurse for me, like I did for him.
Both my Urologist, and my Gynecologist are telling me the pelvic wall has collapsed because of hard labor 30 years ago when they used forceps. So, I couldn’t have done anything about that, but I could have sought treatment of the first early signs of a prolapsed bladder years back, and I didn’t. Yet, God was in charge then, and He is now, and that is what matters. PRAISE HIM!!

Believing for you and have been praying since you mentioned your circumstance! The powerful testimony that you left at the current devotional page today..about your precious eyes and restored vision, amazing and encouraging!!! Something Mother Teresa said once has resonated in my spirit and applies to this surgery date and all other circumstances in all the special requests on this blog..”God is already in our tomorrow”!! Amen and AMEN!

Thank you sweet Sharon for your kind words, and your prayers. We all need those prayers. I do believe your asthma problem will go away, so that they will be able to do back surgery, and your financial problems will be better because prayers have been lifted up by many to the one “who is able’”

Psalm 34:19
“A righteous man may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all…”

1 Tim. 2:1
“I urge then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession, and thanksgivivg be made for everyone.”

James 5:16
“…the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”

I am facing surgery myself on August 29th. I have known this for several months now, but was not going to mention until around that time. I will remind you all about 1 week before. But, just in case some of you prayer warriors are going to be out of town, note your calendar NOW. I will tell you more at that time.

God bless you all!!

You are very dear..and HE has every hair on your head (and your husband’s!) numbered..That comforting thought from the Psalms gets us through a lot here, too! Remember that beautiful Larnelle Harris duet with Sandy Patti? “His Eye Is On The Sparrow”? When the going gets tough? I remind myself of that!! If he cares for those tiny birds..think of us His Children!!! Am lifting you this very moment, and know it is hard, but your sincereity shines through!! HE sees that, too, and will help!!!
