On Passing A Kidney Stone

Avoid it if you can.  
It's been three days and so far no sign of that nasty devil.  This is pretty miserable, no doubt, and most women who have had babies and passed a stone would choose the pain of child birth hands down.  Even so, I'm not asking God "why" because really, what's the point?  Pain is a part of this life, but thank the Lord, we have a God who knows pain first hand and who can sympathize with our pain.  So as I sit here drinking liters of water and take medication meant for old men with prostate problems, I think of Jesus' sacrifice on the Cross and the pain He endured for us all.  Thank you Jesus for your extreme love and mercy!

P.S. I'll let ya know once it finally does pass.

Hello there!

Hey there!  If you are reading this, than that means that I have actually launched my first blog!  Talk about being behind the times.  Well, now that I'm getting caught up with the techno world, I want use this blog to keep you, my family and friends, up to date about my comings and goings.  So please bare with me, as love bares all things.  This blog is, like me, still under construction.  I hope you are laugh with me, pray for me, and are encouraged as I tell about all the good things that the Lord is doing in my life!


So stay tuned and I'll update you along the way!

P.S. A quick explanation about the title of this blog...it is a line from Proverbs 4:25-27.  This has become sort of my "life verse" in the last few months.  It is very special to me and I regularly refer to it for guidance and perspective, learning to take life one day at a time and letting the Lord direct my steps as I trust in Him.
