Prayer @ MindSay

I have been doing a lot of talking, but just not on here.  I tend to tell people things in my replies and that sates my desire to write.  I need to just update first, before even going to comments, and that will alleviate that problem, hey?

Anyway, my friends, I have a lot of health problems, but now I am requiring a bit of surgery, which is going to be done on Monday, and I may be in hospital for a few days, or one day and at home with Home Health Care. It seems when one has a hysterectomy, that there is a "void" in there, which gravity uses to it's advantage and things start sagging and bagging.  And to think I thought that only happened on the OUTSIDE! :)
Anyway, I have to have my rectum as well as my bladder put back into place, and the recovery is very sore, apparently, because you are supposed to be USING the mended parts before they are completely well...so, OUCH....so, please say a prayer for my swift recovery, since I have a bit of trepidation about it, to say the least!

For other news: if you don't know, my daughter Liza-Anne is engaged to be married on July 11th.  Needless to say, it is a bit difficult to make all the decisions and so on with her being in Kentucky and us in Utah.  She has also had to pack up her things and send them on, as she is moving here, driving her car around the first bit of June.  My husband is going to fly to Kentucky and drive her car back with her.  It will be a whirlwind trip of two twelve hour days, probably, but he has to get back to work so he can take off for other things that are coming up, or to go to Africa if he can get away at the end of the year or early next.

She has ordered the invites, which came today. So, while I am recovering, I will have to try and get some addresses on envelopes; it is quite late already, although most people already know they are on the way.  She is having a mostly honey dew colored wedding, with a bit of light pink and a lot of white in the flowers.  We are having the wedding outside, which will be HOT to say the least, but she had her heart set on an outside wedding, and the home we are having it in, has an exquisite garden at the back of their house. We are doing a lattice work arch, wrought iron tables to each side with flowers.  It is going to look pretty, but of course, you have the many different opinions to contend with, and the pre wedding nerves. But I have friends helping, and I have just decided to put it in the hands of God and my competent friends who look so excited to be doing it (ick) and leave it there!  And so far, so good!   He is a great boy and she was prophesied over by a preacher who did not know her from a bar of soap, that she is going to change locations, and her sinus problems and migraines will heal up in the new environment, and that she is in the perfect will of God. So that is always nice to know for sure!

We are flying the other two kids in, and one spouse.  It will be a hectic week, but well worth it.  Other relatives and friends may decide to visit to see Utah as well.

Sorry that I have not always blogged very often, but I do read yours, and love hearing from you.  As usual, I will TRY to update more often and not to be such a stranger.

Love you all...even those who don't particularly love me...:)

I just got this news from my sister about bruce:

BRUCE HAD HIS EYES OPEN!!!! He responded to them being in the room , moved his rt foot, squeezed mom n dad's hand and his son's! They did take him off of the ventolator. He is breathing on his own!! They are going to give him a few days to see what will happen. God is so good.

A few more days... Keep on praying!!!

My friend Bruce had a brain surgery and there is nothing more they can do. He is totally brain dead. They pull the plug today.

Last night's tears and painful prayers have ebbed back on the shores of dreams. Morning is low-tide for these, and I'll gladly drink it in while I can.

Where there is hatred, let me sow Love.

Sunrise spills over the hall to the east, flooding my room, rebounding off the soft yellow of the walls. Even the shadows have light in them.

Where there is darkness, Light.

Looking forward to the classes and other distant adventures of the day, hoping to see a friend or two. Mondays are busy, and feel as though there's no time for relationships, but things might turn out.

Where there is injury, Forgiveness.

Where there is error, Truth.

Rice and tea for breakfast - both with honey. Peaceful. Happy.

Where there is discord, Harmony.

Where there is doubt, Faith.

My roommate's pretty (and vocal) cat darts inside when I leave to make another cup, and daintily inspects everything before returning to roll in the sunbeam sprawling across the floor.

Where there is despair, Hope.

Philippians. Psalms. Joy, soul-cry, peace.

Where there is sorrow, Joy.

His father says he is moving his right side, opening his eye, and responding to questions. The nurses & doc say that these things are involuntary. Umm...how do you involuntarily answer a question with one blink for yes and 2 for no? I have yet to see it be that accurate in a involuntary muscular spasm! UGH! I'm glad his father is in charge of his care, because otherwise that man would have been dead already. The doctors just don't know the God that we know...they don't understand His awesome healing power. He can raise the dead, He can definitely bring a man off is sick bed to full function again. I have seen that even with my own eyes. My own father was dying of cancer but then God made a way and healed him COMPLETELY. You can't tell me anything because I have seen it myself. Right now, my mom is talking to his brother to find out more info on the situation. I will keep you posted, too.
