It Is Worth It

A month from now on October 20th, I will be having a major surgery on my knee. 

In my last surgery the specialist found a screw right in my joint. The doctor thinks it will be best for the life of my knee to get at least 3 of the 13 screws in my knee out as soon as possible. The doctor will have to take my knee cap off in order to do this. My leg will be straight for 6 weeks and non-weight baring :( 

There is a big chance I will end up needing a scope surgery a few months after in order to get the knee to bend again. Then after that, a major 3 part wrist surgery on my right wrist. 

Please please please be praying for my physical healing, emotions, and spirits. 

I was pretty bummed to find out I needed this. I am thankful that I am able to have it (If insurance will cover it... Please pray for that too) and know that this could make it so that I don't have to get a knee replacement as soon as the doctors thought. 

Also, I am mentally ready to work and drive but I am physically unable... 

Going through all of this the first year was expected. This year was unexpected.

Please pray that I can still see why the Lord wants me to go through all of this and point others to Him through seeing His good work in me. I'm so thankful for all of you prayer warriors! It's been so encouraging to read a year later all of your prayers when this was a shock and all so new. Thank you for that constant encouragement. Any time you think of me or see a post, I would just ask that you would pray for me. People tell me all the time that they are "thinking of me" I think it's sweet, but would rather you pray anytime you think of me. Don't let it stop there. I remember being at Parkland and knowing that when this accident happened, if it brought people to the throne of grace and talking to the one and only God of the universe, it was worth it. It is worth it. So I am asking you, talk to our Lord about anything and everything and when you think of me, please lift me up. 

Thank you.
