I've Got A Date

I have a surgery date!  Now all I have to do is get scheduled for some pre-op testing, get a brace fitting, and show up on the morning of October 3rd.

While I am glad most of the waiting is over, now the nerves are starting to set in.  I have to remember to keep my mind focuses on my faith and trust in God.  Trust is a hard thing to do when you are scared, but it's really my only option.

To help me with my trust process, I am going to:

• STOP reading about this surgery on the internet (oh, the horror!)
• Start thinking less about the surgery and more about life beyond the surgery
• Start praying when the worry kicks in

During a church service years ago, every member in the congregation was given a bible verse that was selected for them individually.  My pastor gave me Philippians 4:13: "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me."  This was not the first time this bible verse had come to me, in fact it's made it's way to me several times over the years.  Since it has been so meaningful to me in the past, I am adopting it as my personal strength statement.  I am weak, be He is strong!
