 I am now updating you as to what is happening in my physical world.

I told you on Wednesday that I had my yearly physical, and at the end my doctor asked  me to do some further blood tests, because he was concerned about my kidneys.

I did the tests, and found that I had multiple cysts in both of my kidneys. My doctor said I needed to do one more test. I did a 24 hour urine test. All I do there is save all my urine for 24 hours and turn it into the lab.

I turned it in this morning, and about an hour later my doctor called, and he said he need to see me ASAP. I am scheduled to see him on Monday at 11:15am Pacific time.

I don’t know what he is going to be telling me. My wife said she would be there with me.

Yes, it is a little scary. Yes, I am worrying a little.

However, I have been through these kinds of storms before. I have had six major surgeries including quadruple by-pass heart surgery.

Each time I have faced either serious surgery or even death, and came through it, I became a little stronger in my faith.

I feel this is another big challenge to face. I don’t know the outcome.

In my devotions, I handed my kidneys over to my Lord. He has bigger shoulders than I have, and I know He will be there with me on Monday.

We all face trials, and fall into the muck and mire once and a while, but if we keep the faith that God will see us through it, we will be able to be an encouragement to those who may have to go through the same thing.

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!
