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,

I am so happy for you that the Lord has heard your prayers and has answered them in His time. Sometimes that is not "our time" but He knows what is best for us even when we don't. I will pray that the Lord will keep His hand on you to give you the strength and encouragement you need and to keep you safe at all times. He is with us always and in all ways - we just have to remember that. I feel so blessed by the Lord and know that He will bring me through this surgery in two weeks. I have had similar inspiring moments and I know that it can only be the Lord's work.
God bless you,
Susan
