I have had my meeting with the surgeon and my pre-op assessments. I am heading into the home stretch of approaching surgery and then the recovery. I feel more comfortable knowing what to expect going into the surgery; but I still have some uncertainty and fear regarding the outcome of the surgery. I have committed my body and my life into God's hands. I know that God can work miracles. The doctor and the medical team don't have the final say - God does. It is because I know that God is sovereign, in control, that I can have peace. It is not that I am trying to put on a brave face. I am fearful when I worry and think of the "what ifs"; but then I have peace when I focus on God. Whatever outcome I might face God will be with me. He is already with me. Nothing surprises Him. That is why I can have confidence in uncertain times.
"When I am afraid, I will trust in you." Psalm 56:3 (NIV)
"Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation." Isaiah 12:2 (NIV)
"...God has said, 'Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.' So we say with confidence, 'The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?'" Hebrews 13:5b,6 (NIV)

Deb, you are in my prayers daily as you head into surgery and recovery.
Keep writing. Recording this journey is meant to be!
Hi Deb,
We hear that good news came from your operation. We continue to pray. Claire asked me to tell you that in the middle of the night, when she wakes up, she is praying for you. It sounds as if you are well covered!
With love,
