Between Now and Then

I have not posted on here.  The news I had to post was too discouraging for me at the time, and somewhat angering.  But I can not go forward whilst leaving this giant gap of time filled.

Here is a very brief update regarding the battle against Kaiser.

I lost!

Yep, they officially denied me about 6 weeks ago.  Since then I have been battling my health and time constraints counting up to today.

My family has graciously shepherded me towards surgery, paying for the surgery ourselves.   This was difficult to come to grips with, all of this for me?  Is this the right choice?

And the answer is yes.  After months and months of research into this doctor, Dr. Andrew S Cook, and his practice, that is the answer we have.  I have attempted to research other means of help, whether it be another type of treatment or surgeon, and Dr. Cook keeps showing up in the strangest ways to confirm our path.  And to that end, we Praise God, He left us a trail of breadcrumbs to follow.  Money is just money - - and I know I see money as a longed for trip to Australia or so much desired home improvements - - it is all still just money.  God has met our need and we rely on Him all the more as we wade through this financial maze.  And isn't that our purpose anyway?  Our purpose here, to draw closer and closer to God?

So now begins the journey.
