Despite many painful hurdles, God keeps putting a smile back on my face
Hello blogging friends! Just wanted to update you again on my recovery from surgery:
Things are progressing, but I have had several unanticipated hurdles and setbacks. With each one, though, God continues to help me overcome and get through.
Although I miss my writing and photos terribly, I am still not quite ready to jump back into blogging, since I only tolerate brief work on my PC. My iPhone is the only source of connecting to the internet I tolerate, and only limited amounts of that.
I trust you are all doing well. I hope to engage again soon with reading your posts and sharing through blogging.
Blessings,
Sue

By my God I can leap over a wall.”

*I will open this post up for comments and do my best to reply. Please let me know of any pray needs of yours, so that I can join with you in lifting them up to the Lord.

Sue, it’s so good to see your smiling face. It’s good to hear that your progress is forward. I hope to see you in great health soon. Thanks for letting us know. Blessings to you!!😀
Thank you, Levi. God is the lifter of my head; my strength and my song. Blessings to you, as well!
Great testimony! Thank you.
Dear sis Sue…!!
I am so, so glad saw your update post. What a wonderful thing for me this evening before I take a rest. Oh by the way I just sent you something to your email. Any time you could check it out 🙂 I miss you so much ((hugs)). Have a blessed and great day to you,sis.
Thank you so much, Karina. I pray that you have a wonderfully, restful night!
Thank you for the update, Sue. You look good and healthy. Praying for a full and quicker recovery.
Thank you Bill. I pray for you often. Missing sharing through blogging and praying I can do so soon. However, I must follow his lead and my doctor’s advice! 😊
Continuing in prayer for you Sue. Thanks for the update. May the Lord restore your health and bless you with spiritual growth and strength during this time.
Thank you, Rob. I appreciate prayer more than anything! God is getting me through! Blessings over your day.
Sue, so great to see your beaming face this morning! Bless you, and may your healing continue as He lifts you up and walks by your side.
How sweet, Susan. I miss you guys very much! Thanks and hope to be back soon! Blessings
Good to get this update…have missed your godly contributions! Continuing to pray for a wonderful recovery.
Thanks very much!
I’m so glad you’re doing better! I’ll continue to pray for you! 🙂
I appreciate that so much! Blessings to you today and always!
Glad you are better!!!! This too shall pass!!!! Praying for you!
Thanks, Jane. Amen!
Hi Sue, is lovely to catch up with you! I pray that the Lord will perfect your healing and restore you to wholeness. Have restful time in the Lord. Blessings and more to you 🙂
How very kind and thoughtful Shade. I pray for God to return blessings back your way. Thanks, much.
Sue!!!! Hey Beautiful Lady, so good to see that smile! We all miss you but what is important now is resting and healing in God’s perfect timing. One thought I love while I am outside is noticing how Nature (God’s wonderful creation) hold no stress! Just enjoy the warm breezes, cool rains, his bounty of flowers and all the critters that visit your window. Be at peace my friend…God is our Master Healer. You will remain in my prayers. Blessings~Zoey
Thanks, Zoey. I do so love enjoying all the beauty of God’s creation and will so just as you spoke- rest in His healing. I appreciate you very much!
Sue! So good to see you again! You have been in my thoughts and prayers often. No need to reply, but I do have a praise and prayer request combined. My daughter has plantar fasciitis from this past November, and she has become a bit discouraged. She called a highly recommended doctor this morning, and although it is generally impossible to get an appointment sooner than 3-4 months, she was able to get one for tomorrow morning! God is awesome! \(^_^)/
Hi Rene! Been missing you! Thx for the prayers and I will definitely lift up your daughter in prayer. Plantar fasciitis can be difficult to settle down and is so painful. Blessings to her and you!
Thank you, Sue! You are such a blessing! ❤
Praying for your total restoration!!! 🙂
Thank you very much Candy! God bless!
Sue, you continue to bless others even in affliction … you are faithful and I ask that the Lord will continue to minister His strength to you daily as you walk this path of healing. God bless xxx
I appreciate your kindness in saying so. May God bless you, as well. He is able!
Amen … nothing is difficult for God.
I’m glad your on the mend. 🙂
Thanks! Me, too! Blessings
It’s so wonderful to hear from you, and you’re looking great! LOVE the scarf 😛 Sorry to hear of the rough patches. You remain in our prayers. ❤
Thanks my friends. Ha! Quite the unique scarf! I tell people that when I’m out in public wearing it, I scare small children and animals! I appreciate your prayers and miss you ladies!
Sue, you are loved, missed, and continually held in prayer. I cannot wait to see you posting and commenting again! It was so wonderful to see your picture…thank you! Big hugs…much love!
Thank you very much, Skye! This has been a slow journey, but will be worth it in the long run. Miss your posts, too! Blessings on your day!
I’m so pleased your feeling better Sue and I will continue to pray for complete recovery.
Yes I would value your prayers very much, that regardless of the conflict I will not give up, sometimes the road is bumpy, as you know too Sue and although I don’t doubt that God keeps us from falling, and strengthens us to endure, we need each other in The Body of Christ.
Thanking you – Christian Love from us both – Anne
Thanks so much, Anne. I can absolutely relate to reaching those places of wanting to give up. Somehow, God always picks us up, dusts us off and gives us the courage to carry on. I will pray that He do so for you! Blessings, friend!
Glad you are doing so well. May God continue to bless you!
Thanks very much Patty. I appreciate you!
It is so very good to see your beautiful smile. You have been missed and I trust the Lord will give you a complete healing and recovery. He is the Master physician. Peace and blessings be with you now and always. Will continue to uplift you in prayer.
Mikey
Thank you so much, Mikey. I have been so touched as to how total strangers are praying for me. But then again, we are brothers and sisters in Christ! Blessings to you, as well!
Great to hear from you and see your smiling face! Hugs and love:-) Bernadette
Thanks Bernadette. What sweet friends I have via blogging!
Sue, so glad to see you and to read your post. Praying for a speedy recovery with no complications. May the Lord give you the strength and patience you need during your recovery. Be blessed!
Shelly, so good to hear from you, as well. Miss my blogging friends and
praying I can return soon. Blessings over you and yours. And thanks very much for the continued prayers.
Sue, I’m so glad to see an update on your blog. I noticed it on your Facebook page (I lose track of blogs so easily). Behave and come back when you’re well.
Blessings ~ Wendy ❀
Thanks Wendy. I’m getting slowly better and hoping to start blogging again soon. Letting God lead it all. I pray you are doing well. Miss all my blogging friends and articles!
I will keep you in my prayers. May you heal quickly and life returns to normal.
Thank you Julie. I miss my blogging friends. Improving, but in baby steps. Blessings!
So lovely to see you sort-of-back Sue… I was SO tempted to leave a smiley face on Jim’s update post. 🙂
😊
Still thinking of and praying for your recovery. Miss you!
Hi Rene. Hope you are doing well. I miss you guys, too. I have an update post scheduled for in the morning. In it, you will find the reason that I’ve been gone so long. Not only did I experience a bend in the road with my health, so has Jim. Love and miss you…thanks for checking in on me!
