Hi Everyone,
I know it's been a few weeks since my last post. I have a lot to catch up on and will do so shortly but before I begin to post this past month I wanted to catch everyone up on my 'blog brake' and why it has taken place. I have been struggling with kidney stones for a little over 3 years now but with no major problems. Well, that all changed December 4th. My first hospital stay of the month started in the ER, with a stone that was obstructing my left kidney. A few days later for my 2nd stay in the hospital, I went in for a procedure that was not successful. 2 weeks were needed to heal before they could try the procedure again. With much prayer from family and friends the 3rd procedure was successful. 3 out of the 4 stones were removed and the fourth should not cause me trouble anytime soon. It has been a painful but thought provoking month, that pain is inevitable in this life. I have been reminded several times this month that my hope should not be that my pain will be removed in a few weeks, but that because of Christ there will come a day when all pain and suffering will cease for those who know Him as their Savior. I am grateful for all of your prayers and will keep everyone updated on the blog over the next few weeks as the test results start coming back. Please, if you have the time, listen to this message by Piper. My big brother sent it to me as an encouragement during this trial.
