YOU NEVER LET GO

I love the song "You Never Let Go" by Matt Redman.  I really had to trust those lyrics last night.  "O no you never let go through the calm and through the storm..."  A physical storm came my way last night.  With less than 36 hours until we were to leave for China I had a kidney stone attack.  (And I was so sick!)  Got some medication from a doctor last night to help with the pain.  Finally at 12:30 AM this morning I got enough relief to lay down in bed to get some sleep.  At 5:27 AM this morning I gave birth to probably the largest kidney stone I have ever passed.  (Makes 15+ now over the years.  They don't get any easier.)

God truly answered my prayers last night.  We leave for China in less than 24 hours and I couldn't imagine getting on the airplane with the pain that I was experiencing.  GOD IS SO GOOD!  Actually, He is good through the calm and through the storm.   "Lord, you never let go of me!"
