Prayer Request

Dear Friends and Family,

I sit hear tonight in a lot of thought. My mind seems like it is wondering all over the place. It seems like it is going 90 mph, yet so much more is to be thought about. Many of you have been keeping up with my injury, so I figured I would just blog about the latest. God answered our prayers about getting a diagnosis for my injury. It is called " Internal Disk Derangement". Two of my disk are affected by this currently. What I do understand is that the gel in the disk is coming out and the disk is tearing down. My L-5 is already to a 5 on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 is the worst. The L-3 is a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10. Anyway, we have decided to have a small surgery where the doctor is going to go in and remove the gel that is out.

He did state though that since my pain has escalated in the more recent weeks, that it may be worse even to the possibility of being plum broke down. If so then they will have to go in with a more extensive surgery.

As I sit here I ask that you all will please continue to pray for my family and I. My beautiful wife has been so supportive, and if not for her in my life I wouldn't be what I am today. Besides my God, she is next in line. This time has been a time of Humbleness for me. It has been humiliating at times, but I know my Lord and Savior is right next to me through all of this. He is sovereign and has had a plan for all of this long ago. He didn't just look up one day and say "Oops, Ben messed up his back ". He has a reason for all of this and is already showing some of them to. We are blessed to have a merciful and sovereign

As my family and I pray over the next few months I ask that you all will stand beside us and be in prayer with us. This will not be an easy time and your support will be greatly appreciated. I love each and everyone of you and thank you for all you have done.

The prayer request we have is that God will have His Will in all of this. He has the ability to do whatever He wants with this, But not for my sake I ask............Only His!

Ben
