Thankful!

1 Thessalonians 5:24 (New American Standard Bible)

 ^24(A)Faithful is He who ^(B)calls you, and He also will bring it to pass.

And this is the promise I cling to! I know full well that Donny has a special calling on his life. His testimony is of great redemption and I have watched him grow so much over the past 10 years. God has something for Donny still to do.

All these things that we go through are to make us stronger. We go through trials so that one day when our friends or family go through a rough time we can be of help.

I can't ask why us. I can't wonder about what if's. I can only put all of my faith and trust in my God! He is faithful and will bring this to pass.

Donny has another surgery tomorrow. They will go in and remove the vacuum pumps that have been removing drainage from his leg and close the incisions they made that were to help keep swelling down. We have been told that in a bout a week to a week and a half the bone doctors will start that repair and then it's physical therapy.

We have such a long road but I am glad that God goes before us and prepares a way. I just cling to His mighty hand and walk along the road that has been paved for me.

There is a newer song out that is just beautiful and right now it seems so fitting for me and Donny. Here are the words:

Dave Barnes - God Gave Me You
From the album What We Want, What We Get
I've been a walking heartache
I've made a mess of me
The person that I've been lately
Ain't who I wanna be

But you stay here right beside me
Watch as the storm goes through
And I need you

God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you

There's more here than what were seeing
A divine conspiracy
That you, an angel lovely
Could somehow fall for me
You'll always be love's great martyr
Ill be the flattered fool
& I need you

God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you

On my own I'm only
Half of what I could be
I can't do without you
We are stitched together
And what love has tethered
I could never undo

God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you, gave me you.
Gave me you.
