Dear friends,
This past year has been very difficult as I have struggled with health issues that often left me zapped of any energy. After 15 months of difficult cycles, low blood counts, and depleted iron levels, a decision had to be made. I am scheduled for a hysterectomy on Tuesday morning and I am not feeling the surge of courage that I need to get through these difficult days.

Would you please offer a prayer my way to get me along?

I've done my share of grumbling and pouting, and now I just need to accept the will of Someone who knows far more than I do just what is best for me.

There sure are many, many emotions that come with this decision, and as I am finding out, I need many, many prayers along this journey.

Thank you.

You know you have my prayers and God even sent a small trial I can offer up for you. You will get through this beautifully and make it work out for good. Now let yourself be taken care of while you recover.

Praying for you Donna, that the surgery is successful and you feel God's grace and hand through it all.
