At This Point We're Saying No Surgery

They would be doing a lot to get Kelsey ready if she was having surgery in the morning, so we sure it's not happening first thing in the morning. They will be doing a lot of testing in the morning (starting around 3:00am) so pray that gives the doctors lots of answers and direction about Kelsey's next step. Andy and I are praying her surgery will still be this week, the sooner the better for Kelsey's sake. She looked good tonight, no fever and not a lot of congestion. Her belly is getting bigger again, which is very discouraging, but we are very confident God is in control and working out everything for our sweet Kelsey girl.

This is another song that has meant a lot to me lately.

"Bring the Rain" by Mercy Me

I can count a million times
People asking me how I
Can praise You with all that I've gone through
The question just amazes me
Can circumstances possibly
Change who I forever am in You

Maybe since my life was changed
Long before these rainy days
It's never really ever crossed my mind
To turn my back on you, oh Lord
My only shelter from the storm
But instead I draw closer through these times

So I pray
Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings You glory
And I know there'll be days
When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to praise You
Jesus, bring the rain

I am Yours regardless of
The dark clouds that may loom above
Because You are much greater than my pain
You who made a way for me
By suffering Your destiny
So tell me what's a little rain

So I pray
Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings You glory
And I know there'll be days
When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to praise You
Jesus, bring the rain

Holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Is the Lord God Almighty
