The Good in the Unexpected
We are beginning to calm now and have accepted the postponement as a blessing. We can take the beginning of the week a bit slower and have more time with family and each other. The kids have been awesome lately and I think Liza and I may even go on a date! We were able to get the MRI films easily this morning and are now gearing up for Wednesday morning. Thanks for all the prayers.

I love you guys and you all are in my prayers!
I found a couple of verses for you guys. The first verse i found in one of my devotional books, it's kind of different in the way it is put together but i liked it.
Hebrews 10: 23,35,36
Without wavering let us hold tightly to the hope we say we have... Do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord, no matter what happens. Remember the great reward it brings you! Patient endurance is what you need now, so you will continue to do God's will.
John 14:27
And the peace I give isn't like the peace the world gives. So don't be troubled or afraid.
S&L,
Greg's comment to me when he found out the surgery was postponed because of the dr. having an emergency surgery on Tuesday a.m. ------ Thank you, Lord, that Liza is NOT that emergency!
In prayer and fasting,
Scot & Liza,
Your blog was sent to me via email. Though we haven't met, I just wanted you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Our God is Great!

As I read your blog and recognize the anxiety you both face, I am reminded of Pilgrim's Progress - are you familiar with that? It is the account of "Christian's" journey from the Doomed City to the Celestial City. At one point, as he is making his way along, he meets two young men, "Timorous" and "Mistrust", who are running away from the Celestial City. He stops them and asks, "Where are you going?" They say, "Back to the Doomed City." He asks them why, and they reply, "Because up in the mountains there are lions that are crouching, ready to destroy you." Christian is frightened and is tempted to turn back. But then he remembers the scroll he carries. He reaches in his vest for it and discovers to his dismay that it is gone. So he goes back to the place where he lost it. He retrieves it, opens it, and reads these words: "Is your strength small? Fear not; for the lions are chained. Keep in the midst of the path, and no hurt shall come upon you." And so, though Christian's knees are knocking and his heart is pounding, he walks through the mountains in the middle of the path,
accepting at face value what the scroll says, and he discovers that the lions are truly chained. They surge against the chains, but they cannot touch him because they are bound.
They are bound - and only sovereign God can release them. I pray that you will both walk in the light of God's love as you go to a place that is, in truth, scary. John and I love y'all and pray for a perfect surgery and recovery. John and Dian Sustek
I was in Scot's youth group at TWUMC. I just came across your blog through a link on another blog. I want you to know that my husband and I, as well as our church in Waco, are praying for your family.
