Yet you do. All the time. It is a testament to your true character, Lindy. Keep up the fight. Finding anything to be thankful for while going thru chemo is a feat in itself. Yet you do. All the time.

Most of the time God does'nt tell us why, so in my disease I stopped asking why me? and began thanking Him for holding me over the fire. Was the hardest thing TO DO. Today God has made it clear to me WHY. It can be difficult to wait on God and it was very painful for me and my family!! Lindy, I don't know why you, but I do know today that God's ways and thoughts are far above ours. Like you I'm glad to be in God's hands. In God's hands JIM we continue to pray for you to feel good.

He is a doctor, but he's also a sculpturist. (If you go to his office he will have some scuptures that he has done.)So he's very peticular about how everything looks. He wants you to be happy. He even called my nurse in the middle of the night after my surgery to check up on me. The nurse said he does that alot. If he wakes up in the night he will call about his patient. I think you will like him. I had Dr. Dodde for my reconstruction also. He is a doctor, but he’s also a sculpturist.

"He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver." Malachi 3:3 (NIV) This verse puzzled some women in a Bible study and they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of God. One of the women offered to find out the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible Study. That week the woman called a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him at work. She didn't mention anything about the reason for her interest beyond her curiosity about the process of refining Silver. As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest as to burn away all the impurities. The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot; then she thought again about the verse that says: "He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver." She asked the silversmith if it was true that he had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time. The man answered that yes, he not only had to sit there holding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in the fire. If the silver was left a moment too long in the flames, it would be destroyed. The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the silversmith, "How do you know when the silver is fully refined?" He smiled at her and answered, "Oh, that's easy -- when I see my image in it." If today you are feeling the heat of the fire , remember God has His eye on you and will keep watching you until He sees His image in you.
