A Poem

For every hill I had to climb,
For every stone that bruised my feet,
For all the blood and
sweat and grime,
For blinding storms and
burning heat,
My heart sings but a grateful song-
Those were the things
that made me strong.

For all the heartaches and the tears,
For all the anguish and the pain.
For the gloomy days and fruitless years
And for the hopes that lived in vain;
I do give thanks, for now I know,
These were the things
that helped me grow.

'Tis not the softer things of life
Which stimulate our will to strive,
But bleak adversity and strife
Do most to keep our will alive.
Over rose-strewn paths
the weaklings creep,
But brave hearts dare
to climb the steep.

Courage

Courage is very important. Like a muscle, it is strengthened by use.

Jeremiah 32:17-19 King James Version 1611


Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee: Thou shewest lovingkindness unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the LORD of hosts, is his name, Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:

PKD Update

Yesterday was my nephrology appointment. Not an encouraging visit.
My blood pressure was way to high for safety. More than likely a result of the pain I have been in for the past two weeks. I have some imaging exams scheduled for Monday.

I got script for pain medication and hopefully that along with my regular blood pressure meds will control the high blood pressure for a while. It seems like a vicious cycle; PKD=high blood pressure, high blood pressure=decreased kidney function; PKD= pain from cysts, pain=high blood pressure.....get the picture?

Still praying for a cure...........................

Updates

Wow, it has been a long time since I posted. My blog has definately been neglected. Alot has been happening and has kept me busy.

My Granny is still in ICU and will be fine one day and on deaths door the next. The doctors are still not sure what exactly is wrong:( I have confindence that she knows the Savior.

My surgeory is scheduled for March 30th. Looks like they will be able to get all the cancer with the surgeory and will hopefully need no further treatments. I will be totally bed ridden for 3 weeks. Can not put any pressure at all on my foot. The surgeory itself will take about 4 hours.

As for the exciting news.....if you remember a while back I mentioned big changes. It is now official our oldest son has started a courtship relationship with a very special young lady. I pray the best for them both. She comes from a nice Christian family. He spent several days with her and her family and it sounds like everyone had a great time. Jaime also started his new job today.

Thanks for stopping by for the latest see ya soon.
