At least we are making progress!!!!

Well today Sean had an appointment with a doctor in Chicago. THANKFULLY we are moving towards progress! The doctor told him that he would need a test(scheduled for this Wednesday...the Wednesday in two days!) to make a definative diagnosis but he feels that he has tendon damage that will require surgery OR scar tissue that will need a less invasive surgery or both. WE ARE JUST HAPPY THAT HE SAYS THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG. We know that there is something wrong but everytime a doctor agrees we feel that we need to take a huge sigh of relief. This process is a long one as you have heard before...it is difficult to see Sean in pain but I have felt such peace lately. God is in control of this situation and he knows his plan. That has been my bottom line lately.

I would like to share my peace from today. This is from today's passage in Beth Moore's "Praying God's Word Day by Day"

November 19th

CHRIST NEVER ALLOWS THE HEARTS OF HIS OWN TO BE SHATTERED WITHOUT EXCELLENT REASONS AND ETERNAL PURPOSES.

Glorious Lord God, one day I will hear a loud voice from Your throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them." We will be Your people, and You Yourself will be with us and be our God.

You will wipe away every tear from our eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things will pass away. You who are seated on the throne will say, "I am making everything new!" These words are trustworthy and true!(Rev. 21:3-5)

Lord God, help me presently believe, then one day see, that my present sufferings cannot be compared to the glory that YOU will reveal in me(Rom8:18)
