Well finally after four months of being anywhere from completely to semi-miserable– I’m having my gallbladder removed Thursday! It’s unreal to me that the doctors checked EVERYTHING in my body–even though my symptoms were common of gallbladder dysfunction/disease they tested everything else first. After a Hida Scan reading of 34% it was decided that having my gallbladder removed would most likely solve the problem. The Surgeon told me that at my age (24) my Gallbladder should be functioning at about 80%. On a lighter note, I just praise the Good Lord that He is always in control, and that I’m finally going to get some relief.

We had a very busy weekend this weekend–and how absolutely beautiful the weather was! It was 65 degrees and Sunny both days with a light breeze…after 3 inches of snow here in North Alabama last week, and an unseasonably cold winter, the weather this weekend was very much welcomed! It is a gloomy Monday morning here, so it is an especially good day to have to be back at work! :)

Thursday evening we took Scott and Luther down to Emmaus at Camp Sumatanga, and returned Saturday and Sunday. After being away from Camp for a little over 2 months, it was so refreshing to step foot back on the grounds. Camp Sumatanga is a place that has made me a closer follower of Christ, a “harder” prayer (I think I may be coining this phrase as I’m sure it’s never been used before), a better person, a better friend, a better daughter, a better sister and a better wife. I am eternally Thankful to God to have the opportunity every time I step foot on the grounds of Sumatanga. He is TRULY in ‘this place’ at Sumatanga. (Picture from Sumatanga’s Facebook)

Well in the last 3 days, I have heard four times about the importance of planting the seed to bring others to Christ…so I sense that God must be trying to tell me something! I am obviously not doing a very good job in this area–so I am resolving to do better–be a better Servant of Christ.

Hope everyone has a good Monday!!!!!
