Today has been long awaited
It’s surgery day.
It’s not a life threatening surgery, but whenever someone cuts into you and you need to have a tube shoved down your throat, it’s big.
3 years
3 years since a van pulled out in front of his truck and caused a crash.
3 years of house renovations. Pushing though the pain
Today, that ends.
We are the first surgery of the day and me and my chucks are all ready for a morning in the waiting room and an afternoon of caring for the patient.
I’m not fearful for the surgery. I’m confident in the surgeons skills. I’m grateful for the nurses and the staff at the surgery center
However my hope is not in any of these people.
Yesterday we celebrated the 10th anniversary at Church of Hope. There were giant signs and photo opportunities. even babies celebrated.
There were Birthday wish videos and we even had special guests singers.
We sang a new song
It has been on repeat in my head since yesterday morning. Do I wonder why it’s been on repeat?
Nope. Not even at 3am when I was wide awake.
So today as I have already kissed the patient and said “see you soon, I love you,” I’ll put in my ear buds and listen to the song that speaks to me. Have a blessed day!
Here are just a few of the words and the video link is at the end.
You cover me, You cover me
I’m resting in Your shadow
You’re my strength and bravery
You cover me, You cover me
I’m safe inside Your presence
You hold back the enemy
You cover me
I’m free, from the terror by night
Or the arrows by day
You are my strength!
I’m free, come disaster or threat
You are my defense
You are my shield!
I’m free, from the terror by night
Or the arrows by day
You are my strength!
