Prayer Request I Sent Out

Hi faithful prayer warriors,



Just me again asking for prayer for my health - I am looking forward to my resurrected body.



I have had some tests and scans done this week that show the fluid in my abdomen is back in full force. Next Wednesday I consult with the gyn oncologist to schedule an exploratory surgery to determine the cause. They think it is scar tissue that has set up residence without my permission around my right ovary. I'll know more next week, but it sounds like he plans to remove the scar tissue/fibrous cyst thingy during surgery as well as look around for any other causes of fluid collection.



My primary care physician also noted a slight abnormality with my right kidney as well so starting Sunday I have to collect urine for 24 hours so they can test renal function. I will the indignities never end? If you come over Sunday, don't drink the lemonade in the fridge. :)



At this point, they don't think it is cancer. I'd just like to have full use of my abdominal cavity again. Breathing deep is not natural right now and I am just enough uncomfortable to make me feel like not doing much, but when I lay on the couch I feel good enough that I feel lazy for lying around.



And prayer about our move:

No bites on the house, lots of lookers though. And we are not wealthy enough nor think it wise to extend ourselves to purchase home in Powers before this one sells. The one we thought we had lined up to rent fell through and there are no other rentals that we know about. I feel stuck. I know God wants us in Powers, but I can't see the master plan. At this point we are planning to set up base at in Butte Falls near or with Kayne’s parents since it is closer to Powers than Nehalem is. Kayne will live in the locker room or under the bridge in Powers during the week and see the rest of us on weekends.



Waiting is tough. I'm not quite understanding on a practical level how waiting on the Lord will renew my strength. I feel weak and sucked dry at the moment. :) But just as so many time God led his children to a place where they could not see a way out, I know he will take care of us.



Thank you!
