here’s the scoop

for everyone that’s been wondering what’s goin on with me, here’s the scoop. pain and swelling in fingers and toes, positive test on blood work for hla-b27. white blood cells get confused and attack all tissues not just bad ones. off and on pain last 2 months. saturday night excruciating pain. couldn’t stand anything to touch my toes or fingers. swollen and stiff. more pain than i’ve ever felt. i’ve torn my rotator cuff, acl and mcl. had surgery on shoulder and knee and never felt anything like this.  i hate going to the doctor, much less the emergency room, but i couldn’t stand it any longer.

that’s the short version. here’s the cool part. amy and i prayed that God would touch me and He didn’t. we wondered why but knew He had a plan so we just accepted it and moved on. without going into any details, God used this situation to connect me with some people i otherwise wouldn’t have got to speak with.

so today i rejoice in my infirmities! 2 corinthians 12:9b “most gladly therefore will i rejoice in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”   as bad as saturday night was, i’d do it all again to see how God opens doors.  way to go God!
