Those of you that follow Becky and I on Facebook have been kept up-to-date, but wanted to put this out there for others to pray for Becky's dad, Jerry.
Last week he fell at work and hit his head. Since it was a Worker's Comp claim, they sent him to CareNow. After a week, his heading was still hurting, but he was released from the Worker's Comp claim and could now go to his own doctor. He went to have a CT scan done On Dec 22 and they detected a pressure buildup in his brain (initially they suspected a blood clot and several other things, but the final analysis was a frontal lobe bleed). They did another CT scan, checked him into the hospital for surgery. Surgery was yesterday at 2pm and was successful. They expect to spend a few days in ICU and hospital before being able to come home.
Proverbs 16:9 tells us "In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps." It was funny how in a few short minutes on Tuesday, all the plans we had made for the holidays changed. But what I noticed was how we responded. If we have learned anything over the last few years it's that God directs it all, God has a purpose in all things, and don't resist the flow when God leads (it's pretty futile).
So, enjoy the holidays, don't let the little (or big) changes rob you of your joy for the celebration of Christ's birth. Realize life is not what happens to you, but how you respond to it.
Have a wonderful Christmas Eve!
p.s. Praying for SNOW!!!!!
