july 27, 2007 - the patience of Job

UPDATE / 430P:

the surgery went well! the skin and muscle grafts appear to be taking as hoped. the dr's will determine whether i get released tomorrow, but the prospects look promising. my equipment has been delivered to my home, so my house looks like a Grant substation! lol

while i had a bit of a rougher day today...tomorrow is a new day--with new beginnings. please hang in there with me, because i need all the moral support i can get. you folks have been wonderful. two weeks down....

blessings.....

top of the morning to you!

i'm preparing for surgery and am confident that the skin and muscle graphs will be fine. the surgery may be moved up a bit, so i'm not exactly sure what time i'm going. it appears sometime between 945a-1245p. i hope to be home this weekend, providing the surgery goes well. please keep mary and me lifted up in your prayers, as i am absolutely sure that the only reason that we have done so well is that you have been such great prayer warriors! GOD is good everyday.

blessing...

Hey good luck today and keep that great smile going. Things are going to work out. The man has many more plans for you. FYI I am going back to work today and working the weekend. So I will check in later about your successful surgery. Tell Mary and your family that they are all in my thoughts also.

Take Care

Good morning Major (Lisa) Taylor, You are such an awesome Woman. I just wanted to tell you I miss you and a lot of your friends have been keeping me updated on their visits. I want to see you but I know you have so many visitors and a person can get tired. I love you and I will see you soon. I know it is hard for you, probably missing out on all your snacks. One day, you and I will sit and catch up on all those snacks you are always sharing with all of us.

Love Essie....

Lisa, I prayed for you last night and just added a PS for today's surgery. How awesome it would be for you to go home this week-end. I need to find out about these sweets and snacks everyone is talking about so I can bring you some when I come to visit. You keep your little chin up, honey and we'll see you real soon. We all love you.

Hey Major, GO GIVE THEM ALL YOU GOT THIS MORNING !!!!
God is good and he will be guiding the surgeons carefully this morning to make sure OUR GIRL is taken care of.
I know that you are doing everything that your medical staff is telling you to do. (even though its hard for you to do LOL !!!!
I am praying extra hard for your safe return home this weekend, it will feel really good for you to be in your own home again.
I just hope that the mailman and the delivery guy know what their in for. We all may have to chip in and build a waiting area outside your front door with one of those "grab a number" devices.
Our prayers are with Mary and her family as well for a speedy recovery, please let her know we are all here pulling for her too.
LOVE YA GIRL !!!!!!

Good luck today Lisa. I'm sure everything will go well. We can't wait to see you at home again. We can make all the kids wait on you for whatever you need! We can hook up a bell system - you ring it and I gurantee they will all come running! ;-) Take care and please let us know if there is anything you need once you get home. You can probably throw a stone at the house to get our attention! Hope to see you soon!

Hello Lisa: Just wanted you to know that David and I are keeping up with all that is going on. So happy that you are in the center of Christ our Precious Lord and Saviour, and like Job, you need to have all the patience in the world, and not ask "Why me Lord". Just take it and have a party with all those Angels around you with the Holy Sprit. People don't often know what good parties we can have with God on our sides. You take care, and we are hoping and praying that you will get to go home this weekend. We are thinking of you daily, along with prayer as well as Mary, and thank you for the update on her. Talk with you later ................ Marlene

Going home is a step forward. A small but significant step forward. Bravo, but don't over do it. Still thinking of you and lots of people you don't know in Athens are also sending their best wishes for a full and speedy recovery.

Hey Major Taylor,

You and Mary ARE in my prayers. I don't know if you recall the conversation we had in the elevator about a week ago about you going for your Master's Degree, but it's me, Vickie Arter, from OIS Squadroom. Hang in there!

Major Taylor, I am so happy to hear you will be home this weekend! You are one amazing person! I knew you were tough when you told me the story of going through boxing in the academy with broken ribs, but to be going home already after what you have been through?...I have to party with you cowgirl! I will stop by to say hi as soon as you are settled and up to it. Keep the faith and strength.

Hey Major Lisa,

Hopefully this time tomorrow you will be all nestled in at your own home. I've been praying a lot:) I just needed to let you know I was thinking about you. Still missing your smiling face. It just isn't the same Shipley without you.

I have just read through your blog, and am so amazed by your trust and faith in our gracious God! What an awesome and inspiring testimony of faith! I know that you know that He will work through you to use this experience as a witness to others. Stay strong in Him, and know that we continue to lift you in prayer!

Major -
I just want you to know what an inspiration you are to me, and my entire family with how you are doing. While my back injusry was nowhere near anything like what you are going through, I understand the ups and downs of medical procedures and hopefulness for recovery. I kow you will overcome any obstacle God puts in front of you and will continue to serve Him in the valuable role He has for you! Remember that God is always with you, and you are in the prayers of our family every day...Jeff Grayson
