Hey all! The last couple of days have been sweet…got to have lunch with Marie and Sarah and Mom and catch up and then yesterday Kayla and her kiddos came over and I got to snuggle Vinny, my newest nephew! đź’– So thankful for the body of Christ and fellowship and the encouragement it is. I’m still sore, but feel like I’m doing a little better every day, surgery healing wise.
My lungs on the other hand are definitely not happy, especially my right. That was the one that hurt really bad after surgery and in my foggy memory I kept asking Jord to do manual chest percussion on my right side to try and loosen things up it hurt so bad—the oxy didn’t touch the lung pain. Over and over I praise God that He gave me a high pain tolerance because He knew I would need it! It’s still hurting off and on but I have been able to increase the strength of my treatments from low up to medium—It shakes my belly so I can’t do my normal level aggressive treatments because of my incisions so that also plays a huge factor in things. I am trying to move around as much as I can too without over doing it which is a very delicate balance at the moment lol.
Today we are just taking it easy and spending the day together and then trying to settle Blue during fireworks—she is not a fan lol. I’m thankful for our country for so many reasons—we truly are incredibly blessed to live here and as Lee Greenwood’s famous song says, “I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free, and I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me! And I’ll gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today…no doubt I love this land…God bless the USA!” America is far from perfect, but I’m truly grateful God placed me here—freedom isn’t free and many have died to give me the right to follow hard after Christ without the fear of persecution there is in so many places around the world. Thank you doesn’t even begin to do it justice, but to all who have served, I humbly thank you from the bottom of my heart and I pray you find ultimate freedom in Christ as your personal Lord and Savior who gave His life on the cross so that we might live for all eternity without the effects of sin!! What Glorious Days we who are hid in Him have to look forward to! Happy 4th of July!!
In the Love of the Lamb,
