How do I describe all You did in Michigan, Lord? Please give me Your words, for only Your words can tell of the mighty works that You brought to pass while we were there. It is truly indescribable.
**You made the impossible trip there possible by providing peace, grace, strength, and stamina...
**I finally felt “heard” when I spoke with the nurse and doctor for THREE hours about every aspect of my headache...
**Your timing was perfect for the day of my entrance into Chelsea Community Hospital and You provided just what I needed in my care, procedures, relationships with doctors and other staff members as You poked and probed into my body to lead and guide them to Your conclusions about my headache and health. You gave me peace, grace and strength to endure the pain, the painful procedures and their aftermath. You provided every step of the journey while I was in the hospital. You most assuredly provided Your all-sufficient grace to stay in the hospital for all 15 days......
**You gave me caring and knowledgeable doctors and other staff members who knew just what You were showing them and made it clear, not only to them, but to me (at a later point) what steps needed to be taken in my health to bring me relief AND the grace to endure the medicine side effects.....
**You showed the doctors very clearly their limitations to complete Your diagnosis of the cause of my headache (low spinal fluid pressure levels and leaks of spinal fluid) and had them refer me to a neuro-radiologist at Duke University as soon as an appointment there can be set up. At Duke You will show them the multiple tiny leaks of spinal fluid and then You will “plug” those leaks, which should relieve my headache from that source.....
**Then You gave me hope that, should this not be the whole source of my headache that You have for me, You have kept the door open with the clinic in Ann Arbor so that I can return, if needed, so they can investigate further into some other symptoms that could still be causing my headache.....
Every step of this headache journey is bathed in You, Lord... in Your love, provision, mercy, grace, peace and strength. No end in sight yet, but You have never forsaken (and won’t ever) me no matter what I face. I have felt enveloped in Your peace, grace and arms every moment. Praise, honor and glory to You, my Abba Father, the One Who loves me like no other and cares for me within Your everlasting arms...
Soon You will show us the next part of this journey. A trip to Duke University looms in our near future and no one but You know what You have for me and my family there. I am certain that Your loving care for me will shine through there as well. This headache journey is far from over, but, without a doubt, You will be there carrying me and my family all the way. Again, may Your will be done and may You be mostly highly glorified in every way. Let Your love shine through me to others so that they will be drawn to You in every way. I surrender it all to You again and can’t wait to see what You accomplish in this next portion of the path You have for me.
“The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.” Psalm 126:3
