Psalm 23:1-2

Psalm 23:1-2  "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.  He makes me lie down in green pastures.  He leads me beside still waters."

I love this psalm and it has become one of my favorites.  It is comforting, as well as awe inspiring, to know that the Lord of the universe is watching over me.  Me!  And not only me, but everyone who believes in the name of Jesus.  I shall not want for any good thing.  He has given it all.  I am made to lie down in green pastures even though my health is enough to make me be consumed with worry.  I sometimes forget this and begin to worry, and when it happens, God always brings me back and gives me his peace.  He leads me beside still waters!  Not a storm ridden sea that could cause me to drown, but still water!  What a God we have!

It has been a long time since I had my stint replacement and I have not written to let everyone know that it went perfect.  Just perfect!  No problems with surgery or recovery.  Just perfect.  I know that it was an answer to prayer!

My next appointment is in a few weeks, June 17, when I have the PET scan.  This is the scan that I have been waiting for and will tell us if the cancer is still active.  The tumors will "light up" if they are still there.  I cannot worry about this test, it is in God's hands.  I believe this is what I have been waiting for, a clear scan.  I believe that I will be healed, and I ask for this in prayer. 

Please pray for me.

Psalm 46:10

Psalm 46:10. "Be still ,and know that I am God."

Be still, do not worry, I know what you need before you ask. We know this, but sometimes we forget this great promise. I am not anxious, but I do remember the last stint exchange in January. It did not go well for me. Delays caused me to be in surgery late, around 6pm and I did not get out of the hospital until almost 10pm that night. The anesthesia did not go well, and I was very uncomfortable.

Per my request, I have the first schedule tomorrow morning. I am to report to the hospital at 6am and surgery scheduled for 7:30 am. This is good. Please pray that the anesthesia goes well and I do not feel any side effects.

Thank you for your prayers and your support
