I can't believe it is June.  May was probably one of my most stressful months, but God, as always, was faithful to me throughout the month.  I haven't done a very good job of updating this, and I am sorry.  You all have been such faithful prayer warriors for me- I should have called on you earlier to keep me in your prayers.  As some of you know- I have been going to physical therapy because I have a frozen shoulder.  At first they thought I was going to have to have surgery.  I just cried out to my Abba Father declaring that I couldn't go through another surgey.  He heard and answered my prayers.  It is not totally healed, but it is close.  Amen and Amen.   I have a new issue-the Saturday before Mother's Day I hurt myself.  I don't know exactly how to explain it but when the doctor did my tram surgery, they replaced the area that they removed from my stomach with mesh ( I know it all sounds crazy)and I managed to tear it.  As a result, I am in quite a lot of pain.  The doctor asures me that it will heal itself, but it seems to be taking too long for me.  I am limited in what I can do, but my brain doesn't realize it so it is hard not to do. If you know what I mean.  The good news is that I saw Dr. Campbell and she scheduled me for a diagnostic mamogram and a bone density test.  I have already had them and they came back normal.  ( I know that's an oxymoron as nothing about me is normal.)  The praise is that when I met with her all she could talk about was my wonderful support group.  That in itself is a true testimony revealing  how God's children do care for each other.  I never take for granted a day as each one is a true gift from God.  Please continue to pray for me that I will have the strength to carry on and to be a blessing to those I come in contact with.  I want His light to shine through me even through the pain.  Thanks for letting me express my feelings.  I love each and everyone of you.  You are the BEST:D
