Who plans for pain?

I think, I hope, I see the light at the end of the tunnel in recovering from last weeks surgery. It really snuck up on us. Adam and I had planned out quite nicely the next few weeks: head to Birmingham, go to Jets game, head to Starkville to find somewhere to live, on to Hattiesburg to celebrate the holidays. Insert abdominal pain, insert unexpected surgery, insert change of plans. But who plans for pain. None of us do. But fortunately whether our pain comes physically as mine did, whether its a pain of the heart or of your spirit I was reminded again this past week that the Father is the Great Physician and meets us in our greatest hour of pain. There is purpose in our pain.

I will be back soon with Thanksgiving posts, we were able to spend great times with family!!

Amy's Recovery

As many of you know, Amy underwent surgery this past Wednesday. The doctor found adhesions in her lower left abdomen and was able to remove them laproscopically. The next step is preventing them from recurring again. Amy is doing well and is on the road to recovery. We really appreciate the support and love we have be given by our family and friends during this past week. If all goes well with recovery, we hope to go home for Thanksgiving. Amy and I have truly grown closer to each other during this entire process. She is the best wife in the whole world!!

Zipping by.....

Time is zipping by here in Auburn. Does it feel that way to you? I remember when I was younger being told that time goes by faster the older you get. How is that possible I wondered? I still wonder how it is possible as I watch the days slip right past us! But they do seem to go by faster and faster.

We are winding down our time here in Auburn. And it is hard to believe I have already been here for 5 months. As I continue to schedule trainings and meetings for work, I am reminded that we won't be here much longer. The next stop our journey will take us back to Mississippi. And it will be here before we know it. I pray that in the last 6 weeks or so that we take advantage of our last days here in Auburn and look with great excitement for what is ahead for us in Starkvegas! We know that Lord is with us and is going before us! What an exciting thing to know! May you be reminded of that in this moment too! What a mighty God we serve!!
