It has been a few days since I have posted, but I feel like I have a very good reason: surgery.
I'm sure some of you are aware that I had surgery last Wednesday on my stomach, but I asked my family not to mention it, so if you didn't know, you are not out of the loop =)
A few months ago, I was diagnosed with endometriosis. I was devastated, because it is something that carries more unknowns than knowns.
As the months continued, the pain just got worse. I was constantly aware of a pain in my stomach and back, and so it was decided that I would visit a doctor here in Waco for further testing.
He concluded that endometriosis was what I had and he gave me my options. One of which was surgery to help remove some of the endometriosis tissue, which could potentially keep me out of pain for a few months up to a few years.
It was decided then, that I would have the surgery in one week's time, which was last Wednesday, October 13.
And Praise God for His faithfulness and love. During surgery, the doctor found NO endometriosis! Is it possible that I never had it? sure. But all the signs showed I did. But God had more in store for me. I truly believe that God healed me that day. I truly believe that God has more in store for me and he took that away from me.
They did find some leisons on my uterus that could possibly be what was putting me in so much pain, but upon further inspection, they found that my appendix was in awful shape. So, a general surgeon was called, and it was removed.
God was looking out for me that day. If I had not had the surgery, my appendix would have ruptured, and it would have been harder for me to have it taken care of. Although all of that pain was not the greatest, God is so faithful, and he completely healed me that day! I am so blessed to be loved by the Maker of this world and so blessed with His faithfulness!
The healing process has been really slow, but thankfully, it is going up (finally!)! I can't wait to see what I can do in my Father's kingdom.
Have faith, because God never loses faith in us.
