Another hurdle…
Ok…so first I have brain surgery…..and what’s next?? My gallbladder has to be removed. And no…I am NOT kidding.
It’s almost funny….I mean seriously when I found out that I had gallstones and needed to find a surgeon I pretty much laughed. You either laugh or cry and I’ve had my season of crying! So….once again…I am asking for prayer. Thankfully removing a gallbladder is not nearly as complicated as brain surgery so that’s a blessing! I’m just not looking forward to another surgery….especially less than two to three months since my first surgery.
So…what in the world is God doing??? I’m kind of asking that myself. I’ve given up trying to understand a long time ago. I know that His thoughts and ways make so much more sense even if I can’t understand them…so once again I just need to trust Him, and hope and pray and hope and pray some more that this will be the end of my health issues…..I really want to run a triatholon but have no idea how I’m going to do that if I have to keep having things taken out of my body 
I guess this is the season of our need of prayers….I hope this season ends soon to be honest. But…maybe God is trying to develop perseverance in us…or maybe it’s endurance….or maybe He is still trying to get us to the point of completely trusting Him??? Your guess is as good as mine…..I do know that whatever the reason is it is a good one, and He does have our best interest in mind. Because of that simple fact I’m ok with this new turn of events. God always knows exactly what He’s doing even if I don’t and that’s all that truly matters.

Hang in there girl. I had my gallbladder removed a few years ago and the Lord took great care of me. It was a piece of cake, and I’m alot older than you. I read the other day where satan usually attacks the family member with the most brains and looks, which explains why Eddie seems to be bullit proof, ha ha. We love you guys

Oh my. Have you had your appendix out yet? If not, the doctor can take that out while he’s in there!
Seriously though, I’ll keep you in my prayers! Gallbladder surgery is easier than brain surgery, and you got through the one with flying colors. Keep your chin up!

Geeze Louise! You guys need a break! We are praying for you!

This will be amazingly easy considering what you’ve been through. I’ve done this one and it was pretty much a breeze. Just think of it as another way to be lighter as you run that triatholon! Praying for you!

You have got to be kidding me! So, Crazy! I’m glad you have such a positive outlook on things. I’ll be praying for you.

Crazy, Crazy! Gosh! I hope that everything goes well! We’ll be thinking of you guys!

Wow. We will pray that everything will go very smoothly with this.
I Peter 5:6-7, “…humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God…casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you….”
There’s no question He will take care of you. I pray that the perseverance and endurance He’s teaching you will allow you to take the challenges in stride…resting in His provision and sovereignty. “…let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts….” Col. 3:15. Also, Col. 1:17, “…in Him all things hold together….” (including your body! Have you guys seen Louie Giglio’s message “How Great is Our God?”/sequel to “Indescribable.” You have to see it!)
Love you so much,
Steph
