Overcome

Tonight I am overcome...with so many different emotions and feelings. I feel relieved and happy that Leslie's surgery was successful. I'm thankful to God for Dr. Pris Strom, that He providentially brought her into our lives and gave her not only the skill of a surgeon but a heart for, and filled with, love for her Savior. It overflowed to us. I'm exhausted. But I'm revived. I'm revived because of the love and care of so many people. Comments left on our blogs, phone calls, flowers, gifts, and many visits have left me feeling like this is all a dream. How could people care this much? I know. I know. Tonight I sense God's satisfaction in His people, His Bride. Tonight I am satisfied by Him. In this moment I know peace and contentment. I'm not being, or at least not trying to be, sappy.

Right now Leslie is resting in room 233 at Northeast Georgia Medical Center. We've had wonderful care there. Her sister, Dana, is spending the night with her. Thank you so much Dana!

I feel like writing thanks to so many people today, but I must get some rest. We got the best report we could have received today and now we can focus on Leslie's recovery. Please continue to pray. If you haven't read Leslie's blog in the past day, I highly recommend it. Good Night!
