confessions of a rec center wreck...

dr. visit update…

Last night I blogged about how I was nervous about going to my doctor appointment today. So after much prayer and a pretty sleepless night last night, I headed to Richmond for my appointment this morning. The good news is that I don’t have any major problems, especially anything that could lead to cancer. The bad news is the doctor couldn’t say definitively what exactly was wrong. He thinks all my symptoms show I have something that I can’t pronounce that is often set off by major IBS which I do have. So basically I have to radically change my diet, take meds, and try to eliminate a lot of stress from my life. Most depressing of all is I pretty much have to give up caffeine as much as possible, thus killing my enjoyment of soda and new found love of coffee.

sad to lose coffee and soda....

I know many of you were praying for me today and I greatly appreciate it. It means a lot to know I have so many prayer warriors out there praying for me! Please continue to pray that treatment of what the doctor thinks is the problem will work and that I will have relief from a pretty painful experience. Thanks so much!

nerves…

Tomorrow morning I get to go to the doctor for minor procedure to try and figure out the cause of some health issues I have been having lately. While I haven’t been nervous about things too much, I can’t say that tonight. Just with all that I have read about the procedure itself and hearing about other people who have gone in for minor things lately only to find out about major problems, I must say as I sit hear tonight I am feeling nervous.

The good news is that I know I have a God who is bigger than any uncomfortable procedure or any diagnosis that it may lead to. The words of Psalms 37 keep coming to mind of “be still and know that I am God.” That’s where I am finding myself currently, knowing that I have to take rest and comfort in the fact that God is God and He is totally in control.

Thanks so much for listening to my nervous ramblings and if you remember me in your prayers tomorrow morning I would greatly appreciate it!

t-shirt screenprinting…

As many of you know I have been taking shirt and hat orders over the past few years for Central Kentucky Screenprinting. It’s been a great way to make a little extra money to help with expenses. Due to various circumstances I haven’t been getting as many orders in the past few months and part of that is my fault due to just being busy with other areas of life and not really advertising. However, I want to let everyone know that I am still selling for Central Kentucky Screenprinting and would love to help you, your team, or organization with any promotional needs you may have! Especially with baby #2 on the way! So if you need anything please let me know if nothing else it would be great to at least have the opportunity to give you a quote and answer any questions!

super bowl party outreach…

This year we are once again having our annual Super Bowl outreach part at the Rec Center. This is a really great outreach where we have students and adults in to watch the game and then at half time we watch a dvd rather than the normal halftime show. The dvd we watch is provided by Sports Spectrum magazine and this year has four current NFL stars sharing their testimonies and all that Christ has done and is doing in their lives. If you live in our area and can make it I really think you would enjoy this outreach party, and its a great way to introduce someone you are wanting to reach for Christ to the Gospel. I hope you can make it!

seeing my son…

Today I took Erin to her bi-weekly baby check up and since Judah has been measuring big they had her undergo another ultrasound today. So, i got to see my son again! Judah is already weighing over 5 lbs and is on track to weight between 9 and 10 lbs. Dr. Smith assures us that we are still on target for our c-section date of March 19th, but we’ll see. I can’t wait to meet Judah!
