"And....., the saga continues...."

As if I have not already been on the wildest roller- coaster ride of my life (and I HATE roller-coasters) already with this silly wrist situation, I have more news for all of you...., and hopefully this will be the end of this conversation! 

I know that yall have been praying for me, I have full confidence that you have been praying.  The day after I scheduled my surgery, I started having some relief...., not alot of relief, but more than I have had in 5 months.  I have been so convicted that I have been relying so much on the wisdom of man and not of God.  The day after I scheduled surgery, I got on the floor face down before the Lord and wept and prayed aloud to God to heal me and give me clear direction as to if I had made the right decision.  All week long, I have been feeling so anxious and restless, like I maybe "jumped the gun" and was moving too quickly.  I haven't been able to sleep because I have been so anxious. Surgery is HUGE, especially with a baby.  That changes everything.  

Long story made short, I CANCELLED my surgery this morning.  I am going to try to wait this out a few more months and see what happens when Elijah Brooks gets up on his feet walking.  After speaking to 6 of my mommy friends who have all been through this exact same thing and have all had to wear braces (crazy huh??),  their's eventually went away..., though it took a very long time.  I am convinced that unless the Lord miraculously heals me,  this is going to be a long road to recovery, but I am trusting Him that I will eventually get well.  I am going to continue wearing my braces every minute of every day and keep icing and taking Aleve and re-evaluate in several more months. 

Just crazy I know.  I promise this will be the last post about this subject for awhile.  Unless I write you to tell you that the Lord has healed me miraculously, just assume that I am still wearing braces daily and trying to manage this and just keep praying for me.  Just because surgery has been postponed, please don't postpone your prayers for healing.  The Lord has already heard and answered some of your prayers for some relief and clarity, so I know He is listening to you all.  Don't stop you faithful prayer warriors!!! 

Won't it be fun to go back and read all of this journal in 10 years and see how the Lord brought me through such a difficult time?  PRAISE HIM! 

Love to you all and THANK YOU!
