On the verge of surgery

Tomorrow we will leave to drive 12 hours to Omaha in preparation for Willow's surgery on Tuesday. This will be her first surgery here in the states. It will include removing bone to straighten her bones in her right leg and inserting rods to strengthen them. This is not her first surgery; she has large scars from a surgery she had in China. With these scars also comes the memory of pain and the uncertainty of what her next week will look like it. She knows we are going and the doctor will be "fixing" her leg but there is not the language to discuss her fears. She says, Big Scared" when we try and discuss. I tell her I will be with her and more importantly Jesus will be with her. I tell her all the people she knows that will be praying for her.

I am expecting God to do great things through this time of suffering. I am expecting more of His will for our lives to be revealed. I trust that all these things will work together for Good. If you are praying for us, thank you! Specific requests include: Safe travel, Peace for Willow, Sarah and I, Good pain control, That the surgery would include all the restoration of bone that God has willed including the 2nd leg if she is doing well. And most importantly, that God would be glorified in all of it and Jesus would be clearly visible through us.

Stay tuned .......
