Our Health Progress

As some have followed our recent health issues, it would be great to note that God has been with us and we are greatly improving day by day  as we follow the directions given by the doctor and therapists (for Pam), and we benefit from the prayers and support of our families, natural and spiritual.

No weapon formed against us has prospered ... weapons were real, but God had a better plan to bring us out.  A blood infection (sepsis) and MRSA were the diagnosis I have for both occasions in the hospital.  Both have responded to IV treatment (antibiotics) and I am on the mend.  God is faithful and uses medicine as well as supernatural healing.  I am benefitting from both.  Let me say right now, it has been God Who has been there and brought me through a very uncomfortable time, and to Him belongs ALL glory.

Pam is on track with her rehabilitation after the left knee surgery for a new knee.  This has not been easy, but has progressed greatly and she is actually scheduled for the second one by the end of August.  We see her beyond the rehabilitation, doing well and without the pain of the past from deterioration and arthritis.  Again God has been with us through all of this and we are still confident of her full recovery and a new lease on life with full mobility.

We have had our days to feel sorry for our selves, but each time we have been reminded of God's best and His presence to go through it with us.  Please know He will be there for you if you invite Him to be.  The Spirit of God indwells those who give their lives to God through Jesus Christ and obey His direction day by day.

Rejoice not over me oh my enemy, for when I fall, I will arise .... by the power of God at work in me .. as I am transformed by the renewing of my mind .. through God's Word.

In everything give thanks, and so today, we thank God for all He has provided and all He is doing for us ... most of all, just for Who He Is ... there is NO GOD BESIDE HIM ... never has been, and never will be!
