Surgery Days

For we walk by faith, not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7

They're here. We're ready. We have peace. Most of the time. :) Libby's surgery is scheduled for 8:30 tomorrow morning. We're supposed to be there at 6:00. We head into tomorrow praying the prayer I told you I'm attempting to pray more boldly this year. I still tend to pray it with much trepidation. But my prayer truly is to embrace all He is doing. No matter outcomes. I want to praise Him. Trust Him.

As a dear friend prayed for us yesterday, Father, I pray that You make happen what You want to happen. You know well our desire...
It's true. I don't completely understand how prayer works. Clearly, some of my previous notions have been challenged over the last few years. My flesh wants what I want. But I know God knows what we want. That's for sure. So we pray all sorts of things. We ask you to pray for these things. We're so thankful you do. For our surgeons. Doctors. Nurses. For healing. For wisdom. Guidance. Patience. Peace. We pray for Libby. We pray for Annie. For us. Our marriage. He desires for us to pray these things. He LOVES for us to pray these things. And then rest. Because His plan is bigger. His plan is better. Much more than our limited minds could ever dream up. His plan is perfect.  His plan will prevail. And we want it to.

I'll let you in on another little prayer I've been praying nonstop...Father, help me. :)

We love you all so much!
