We made it through Wednesday!

We made it through Wednesday without much trouble. I did learn something about my husband. He CAN speed when he has too! (Is that the right too?) I first had the honor of singing at the funeral of Phyllis Roth. This is one lady I wish I would have had a better and longer chance to get to know. For just the little bit that I had was pure sweetness and pure Jesus. Then it was off to Iowa City to meet with our doctors there regarding Sherrianne. So we made it down there and met with them and we've decided that we will be doing another surgery sometime this summer. The first surgery gave us two years, so if we can get two more years from this one, that will get us closer to being able to get more permanence from the surgeries.

I just really don't know that I'm ready for this again. I know God will not give us more than we can bear, and He did bring us through all of the pain and surgery two years ago and I know he can do it again, I just feel like somehow I have failed Sherrianne. I know it's not true. I know God gave her this special knee for a purpose and a reason. My bottom line is is it's just not fair!! I know that sounds selfish, but she's only 7 and can't ride a bike because her knee will pop out if she does. She can't dance, do karate, soccer, t-ball, volleyball, tennis---anything that might cause that knee to subluxate out. I wish I felt like I could give her something in place of those things. She is starting to notice and actually probably has for longer than we realize that she is not like other kids and is very limited on what activities she can do. It just breaks my heart. I really think I'm struggling more with that then the fact that we're doing another surgery. AAUUUGGGHHH!! It's so hard to be a parent.

I thank God that He gives me the words to say to her every time we talk about her knee. Because I don't know what to say or to do. But God does.

We had Tina's shower Wednesday evening and it was a blast. It's always so fun for women to get together.

I'm meeting with Joanne Crabb tomorrow about our women's ministry. I'm really excited to see how everything falls in place. It's so exciting to be a part of something God is doing. We'll be starting our remodel of our church soon and that's going to be awesome. I can't wait!

Well all, my little trooper has fallen asleep on the couch so I need to get her off to bed and then get me tucked in too.

Love to all!
