Bring It On!!!

A week has gone by so quickly and we are so tired of waiting to get this over with! Gary is in the middle of getting ready for surgery for tomorrow - taking antibiotics on the hour and drinking clear liquids & broth! YUM YUM! Our amazing home group came over after church and we grilled yummy sausages and had lots of great salads and chips and fresh peanut butter cookies - yummy............so sorry Gary that you could not partake! We thought of you as we scarfed our food down! :)

Gary's parents arrived this afternoon and my Mom is here as well. My Mom is forcing me to write lovely things about her - so Gary says that there will be a long pause now! :) Funny!

Back to the important things! We are organized and ready for the events of tomorrow!
Pastor Todd will join us to pray in the morning at UCI and many friends and family will join us there as well.

There are three things God does not want us to allow to control our lives in any circumstance - worry, stress & fear! These are complete "joy busters"! I can truly tell you that I have not allowed stress, fear or worry to play an active roll in our lives during this time! I have been guilty in the past of allowing these things to control me but I have learned through this that most things are truly out of my control and I am learning every day to give it up to God! I have a super long way to go but I am here to tell you that I am on the road!

Please continue to pray for us tonight. Pray for Gary's complete healing. Pray for our protection and for peace. Pray for the doctors and everyone we come into contact with that will be a part of this experience! Pray that God uses us somehow!

Stay tuned...............
We love you!
