Rejoice!

Psalm 30:2-5

O Lord my God, I cried to you for help,
and you have healed me.

O Lord, you have brought up my soul from Sheol;
you restored me to life from
among those who go down to the pit.

Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints,
and give thanks to His holy name.
For His anger is but for a moment,
and His favor is for a lifeteime.

Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.

I opened my Bible to the Psalms this morning. Now I don't generally just open the Bible and hope that it falls open at the right place for me, but when I opened it this morning, it fell on Psalms 30 and I had a note from quite a while ago, "Please Lord" written next to the first verse I quoted. What a God we serve!

The "impossible" has happened! Yesterday the ns surgeon told me that it was absolutely not the shunt causing my problem. However, this morning, I am back! My headache, while not gone, is back to where it was before this whole episode began! So it does seem to have been a shunt issue all along.

I am so very thankful, yet I am trying not to get overly excited. I am going to keep things quiet for a while and ease into things. No, I haven't called the ns yet, either. I want to wait a couple days just to make sure that things stay the same, and then I will give him a call. At this point I will rejoice and and enjoy this time of feeling better, no matter how long it lasts.

It was fun calling a few family members this morning, because all they would hear is a "hello" and they immediately heard and knew that I was doing better. I don't hear the difference in my voice, but many do and the evidence of my improvement is easily heard. :)

I appreciate the prayers that have been given on my behalf, and now ask that anyone reading this praise the Lord for this answer to prayer. What a wonderful God we serve! As I have said many times, I love to sing and hear the old Psalms and Hymns, and I have a few of those joyful songs running through my mind. :)
