Well, in just a few hours I head in for surgery prep for the installation of a medi-port.   This is a port that is hidden under my skin, it will be accessed each chemo session and blood draw through a needle.   I guess it’s a bit painful for a while, because some of the tissue of my chest has to be carved out to create a bed of sorts for it to lay in.

We would be so grateful for your prayers!   For Mom, who has an extended time with the children while we are gone, for Caleb who is coming down with a stuffy nose and having a hard time sleeping tonight, and for Nathan and I as we remember that faith is the substance of things we can not see.  

I don’t want to be like Thomas, needing proof of Jesus and His reality.   I want to trust even when things aren’t exactly going my away.   I believe that the Lord knows my catheter got pulled out... He said He counts our tears, and I certainly shed a few!   And if He knows, I can cast this care on Him, because the Bible says that He cares for me.   Thanks for praying, we’ll let you know how it goes!
