As we journey together “let us think of ways to motivate one another in acts of love and good works”(Hebrews 10:24 NLT)

Well I have been wondering around the blogosphere in some spare time this afternoon. I have a few chores that aren’t so pressing at this moment that i could be doing. Life has been good lately except for my dad for whom i am somewhat worried for right now. He has been sick the last few days and has had two ER visits and a short hospital stay. You may ask what is wrong but the truth is no one really knows. Back a year and a half or so he had the surgery to help prevent his severe acid reflux disease from occurring. They do this surgery for people like my dad to help prevent a person from getting esophageal cancer. they tested my dad and he didn’t have cancer so he was a prime candidate for the surgery. Well back at Christmas time this year my dad had pneumonia…and with that comes a lot of strained coughing….Well they think that part of his issues (not being able to swallow food and throwing up a minor amount of blood) is that he might have torn his esophagus when he coughed from the pneumonia…There is a second side to all of this..the ER docs thought on Saturday that the rest of my dad’s issues were linked to Gall bladder issues to which they told my parents that he would need emergency surgery…My poor dad’s stomach hurts so bad. His family doc came in and said it was noting to worry about and they sent him home on Sunday though he was still in terrible pain. He has an appointment today with the doctor who did his reflux surgery and he will need two scopes done to understand and know what is wrong with him concerning the rest of the situation. As for other things we are headed out Friday evening to test God’s will for where He would have us one more time…No we are not going to call it quits if this is not the place for us. But this time it feels a little surreal. Before I had overwhelming confidence…in what i am not all that sure to be completely honest. I guess when it comes right down to it it’s gotta be a God thing..I mean yeah sure I or Hubby could say or do A LOT of things to really mess it up but if we do what we think is best and they still vote us down then God must not want us there either…It’s just soooo tiring…we can take rejection matter of fact we have taken a lot of it. the total is up to about 6 or 7..and that’s not counting the ones who never had us candidate… can you blame me for being a little apprehensive of the whole thing? And then the best part is that in less than two weeks we as a family head out on our first long family vacation in 4 years. After the year we have had i think it is LONG overdue!…I am very excited and no matter what the outcome is of this weekend..the vacation comes at a perfect time. Well i haven’t had such a rambling post as this one n such a very long time. i am sorry for boring all of you and I must now get back to my chores at hand..Have a great Wednesday and PLEASE Remember to pray for us this weekend!
