Surgery AGAIN! Fusing my Ankle

So really I should feel blessed first off that I even have the ability to have ANOTHER surgery, second that this is actually only my 3rd one cause I have heard many people who are having 5, 15, even 20 surgeries later and still expecting more.


But, tomorrow is the BIG day for me, they will be fusing the upper and lower joints of my ankle so I will no longer have any side to side or up and down motion in my ankle. There will be rod up my leg and thru my foot essentially that form a 90 degree angle and will be locked into each other which will hold my leg in the position while the bones all grow together. They also will have to remove about a 3" section of my fibula which can also be used for grafting as needed. Oh and the screws and all the hardware that was previously put into my ankle will now be removed. I will keep the rods in my leg forever they do not go back and take those out, cool so like I will officially have a metal rod from mid leg all the way down... I am hoping to get pics of my xrays down the road to show all the details...

So Please Say your Prayers for me tomorrow!!

Forgiveness is HARD!!!!!

Is it the desire of your heart to see God? Do you desire for your heart to be pure before Him? My friend, we must be obedient to God's Word if our hearts are to remain pure and our relationship with Him harmonious. No matter what others have done to us in the past, it is not worth the sacrifice that we pay (that is, separation from seeing God's face) if we do not forgive them.

Forgiving is Not Forgetting....... When we forgive, the result of that forgiveness may be that we forget the sin against us. However, it must never be the motive by which we extend forgiveness. We must forgive with a pure heart. Hebrews 10:17 says, "and their sin and their lawless deeds I will remember no more." Considering that God is omniscient, meaning all-knowing, do you think He actually forgets? What Hebrews 10:17 says to us is that God chooses never to hold our past offenses against us. The book of Romans tells us that, through Jesus, we have the power to overcome sin. Through Christ we can also choose not to hold on to past offenses.

As it is freely given to us, we must also freely give. If we give generously with a pure heart, expecting nothing in return, we will likewise receive. If we give sparingly, we will receive sparingly.

Luke 6:35-38 (New Living Translation)

35 “Love your enemies! Do good to them. Lend to them without expecting to be repaid. Then your reward from heaven will be very great, and you will truly be acting as children of the Most High, for he is kind to those who are unthankful and wicked. 36 You must be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate.
Do Not Judge Others 37 “Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn others, or it will all come back against you. Forgive others, and you will be forgiven. 38 Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back.

FORGIVENESS COST JESUS HIS LIFE!!!
