This past week has been hard. The dizziness came back in full force. All I wanted to do was put my head down somewhere and leave it there. But I couldn’t, because …
This past week has also been busy. All I wanted to make sure the chores were done enough so I didn’t have to do or even think about them in the next couple of weeks. Because …
Today is the day I am having gum surgery. I’m ready. And surprisingly, not anxious. I suspect that some of you have been praying for me (you know who you are). Thank you.

I have been asking for healing. I’ve asked for bones to strengthen, for tissues to grow. If God can raise the dead, healing a bit of bone is easy. Nothing is impossible for God when it is according to His plan. It’s up to us to ask.

nor dim light of moon will harm you.
The Eternal will keep you safe
from all of life’s evils,
From your first breath to the last breath you breathe,
from this day and forever.
Psalm 121 The Voice
