Good News, But Not What I Wanted....


It has been three days since Kaitlyn has had surgery. She went in for diagnostic exploratory lapraoscopy(sp). The doctor reported he was not able to see anything inside of her. Her intestines looked fine. This wonderful news for us but I wanted to the doctor to find the cause of her stomach pains. Not even a little of anything. This was hard for me to except because I wanted her to start off with 2009 as pain free. Kaitlyn was very disappointed. I think that was the hardest thing to have to tell her. I have been down for the last couple of days and on the verge of tears. Again, I know I have said this many times, it is so hard to see her suffering. I do not know the plans God has for her but I know "all things God works for the good aof those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28

We all will become stronger in our faith because of this season. I have said this a couple of times to Kaitlyn but am not sure she completely understands. I know it is probably hard for a nine year old to completly grasp this. I just want her know she can always give her problems to God and know he listens. He will make us stronger, whether physically, mentally, spiritually or all three. These past three days I have kept up a continual converstaion with God. He hasn't answered back yet but I know he is listening. This is a very comforting thought. I am trying to be patient and wait upon the Lord. He has the answers and His timing is always right!


I wish everyone a wonderful New Year's with many blessings and happiness.
