Hi faithful prayer warriors!
I just had to send a message to everyone saying how much your words of encouragement are helping me. I know that I have been covered in prayer since Friday night and will continue to be lifted up by all of you.You cannot imagine how hard it is for me to resist answering every one of the messages I'm getting from all of you! I just printed out 52 messages that will be kept in a binder documenting this journey until my healing. I am so loved! And I love all of you!I do have my MRI today and will be meeting with two different plastic surgeons on Monday and Tuesday. So, obviously, my surgery will not be on Tuesday. I will let you all know as soon as I know what the date will be.
Anyone who knows me well knows that I will find information if it is 'out there'. I have been the Research Queen the past few days and am feeling very confident about my decision. I will let you know more about it in the next few days.
In the meantime, I have a prayer site! It is www.prayerservant.org/stephanie and you can go there to see my updates or to leave messages for me. The site is run by a friend of mine from church. It has been a wonderful thing for many people who have used it for prayer support.
I hope you all enjoyed Psalm 91. I learned a song in high school called "On Eagle's Wings" and it comes directly from Psalm 91, which is why it has always been my favorite. It is continually in my head and (if you were a fly on my wall) you would hear me singing it all day long right now!
I did have a tough time last night. I knew things would come in waves and it was a tough one, but necessary. As soon as I started feeling fearful, I went to God's Word and He faithfully lifted me up yet again. I know that as long as I am immersed in His words for me, I will be strong.
Under His wings,
Stephanie
Paul, in 2 Timothy 1:7-12 —
"For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline. So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord, or ashamed of me his prisoner. But join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God, who has saved us and called us to a holy life-not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. And of this gospel I was appointed a herald and an apostle and a teacher. That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet I am not ashamed, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day."
