My Birthday and Stuff...

My birthday was this past Sunday! I have none of my own pictures or memory of the party Shelly and the gang threw for me, but I bet it was so much fun. From the pictures I have seen, it looks like I had a blast. I pray every day that I get better so we can all have so much more fun, and actually do things that I won't forget about.
There are times when it gets so hard and I don't want to wake up because just the thought of going to see Jesus makes me not want to fight this anymore, but the fight for Jesus makes me get up and keep going. I don't know if the doctors will find out what is wrong with me or if there is an explanation to why this is all happening and there are times when I question the things that happen to me. I want to joke about it and just laugh it off, but I can't. I'm tired! But I will continue to fight and go on because that is what Jesus would do in this situation. My reward for this will be worth more than any grief or pain I or any man will ever endure. The love and passion I have for Christ is so much bigger than that of the suffering I have had to go through. He is working in every one of you that have sat with me day and night to make sure I am ok and feeling loved. Just the fact that you are all so willing, makes me weep with joy that God is allowing us to witness just a fraction of what he is capable of.
Going to the doctor this morning has been what all of us have been waiting for. Turns out the MRI and EEG were normal. That is really good....there is no visible great damage to my brain...aside from the norm....haha. So, the next step is to go get some wires hooked up to my head and then they will wrap my head up like a mummy and i get to take me and my wrapped up head home until Friday when they unhook the wires and read the results and make me an appointment to get those soon.
They also upped my medicine dose from 600mg to 900mg. It takes a few days to get used to the medicine change, so I have been sick today and might be tomorrow as well. I thank you all for praying for my financial situation too. The Lord has been so very gracious by providing so much for me and Shelly. I do ask that you focus your prayers on Shelly this week. She has been such a great roommate and friend. She has given nothing short of 110%. She has been taking care of me so much that she has pushed her life aside to care for mine. You have all given so much, but she is here non-stop. Even when I have been at another house, she has worried too much to stay at home. So tonight while I am at the Bugnar's house it will be the first time Shelly has stayed at home to finally get some good rest. Even though it is hard for us to not be around to make one another laugh or lift eachother up when we are down, it's good to have that time to get into the word and spend some one on one time with the Lord. Thanks again to all of you for helping out and making me feel loved, it's so great to see what the Lord is doing here. What a wonderful feeling. Praise God!!
