emma taylor had her surgery on friday. there has been no other day that i have felt and seen that the church is not an establishment or a building but rather of group of people, of believers. i have felt God's love so tangibly through these people and it encourages me. i had countless phone calls and texts wanting to know how emma taylor was doing and how they could pray, countless messages offering any help i needed, and dinner brought to my house so i wouldn't have to worry about it. i was even surprised when the surgeon asked if he could pray with me before the surgery. sometimes i can be so hardened and critical towards the south because it seems to be part of the culture to go to church, but that morning i really needed that prayer from the doctor. praise the Lord for answered prayers!
update on emma taylor: she did well and was fussy and upset most of the day... as to be expected. she now seems to be much of her normal self besides her appetite but hopefully that will come back soon. she is on 2 antibiotics to help keep infection away so please pray that they will. if something were to come up though the doctor said it would be around day 4 or 5 so we are not out of the woods yet.
