As I look back over the past few weeks, my analytical side draws the conclusion that there's a definite link between how we feel emotionally and physically. Sure, there are physical reasons why I feel the way I do, but there has definitely been a correlation between the severity of my symptoms and the way I feel mentally. Does that make me a head-case or do you also find your "mind" controlling your "matter?"
Exhibit A: I experienced the most severe symptoms on the same day that I learned that Dr. Minor at Johns Hopkins was going out of our insurance network and couldn't do the surgery until the end of February. Exhibit B: I received the call from Blue Cross Blue Shield yesterday that approved the surgery and feel wonderful today. Know what I wrote down in my notes during the call? "Good news. God is good." Why do we usually only say that when something goes right? Why don't we say "God is good" when we've had a bad day or when something has gone wrong?? He's the same God who's been hanging w/ us through the ups and downs.
I'll make a pact with all of you today. Let's wake up each day saying "God is good" rather than waiting to see what momentary hand we've been dealt to decide how we feel.

I love the saying,"God is good...ALL OF THE TIME!"
I just recently started reading your blog, and I want to laugh with you, cry, scream, and stand up and fight for you.
I hope that someday God will cross our paths once again. Until then, I will be praying for you. Your surgeons. Your family. And a very speedy recovery.
God bless you and God speed!
