wow moment

There are so many things that this surgery has done for me and last night I experienced one of them. I had prayed for the Lord to be able to let me kneel again to worship Him. Last night we had a lesson in Job...the portion where he says' I k ow my Redeemer lives" and the we had an "afterglow"...at which time the Pastor said, if you want to stand...stand...I said to the Lord..I would love to kneel...can I Lord? And then the song came on..."Come let us worship and bow down, let us "kneel" before the Lord our God our Maker" that is one of my favorite verses in Psalms and favorite songs. I started to cry and then got down on my knees and prayed thanking the Lord for answering my cry. I even got up unassisted. He is so faithful to know our hearts desires and to meet them in His time. I am thrilled at being able to walk, stand and do things that were so difficult ot even impossible before. The size is great but not the most important thing. I no longer feel enslaved by my body. It is funny though when I am folding and hanging clothes to believe these are my clothes and not someone elses. The Lord is good and I praise Jesus daily (many times a day) for this tool to help me be all He desires me to be. In Christ, Joan M

Joan you brought tears to my eyes. That is the best form of encouragment for the rest of us. It is the little things we take for granted, such as kneeling. Honey those clothes are your and they are just going to keep on getting smaller. God has good things in store for all of us! Hugs, Jenni

Joan, congratulations on your WOW moment. It is a wonderful WOW moment. I have been there. Before surgery I could kneel at the alter but it hurt really bad, now I can stay up there for a long time. I love the song that you are talking about, we sing that song at my church all the time. Congrats again. God Bless, Deanna
