"Remember, remember, remember the signs. say them to yourself when you wake in the morning and when you lie down at night, and when you wake in the middle of the night. And whatever stange things may happen to you, let nothing turn your mind from following the signs. And secondly, I give you a warning. Here on the mountain, the air is clear and your mind is clear; as you drop down into Narnia, the air will thicken. Take great care that it does not confuse your mind. And the signs which you have learned here will not look at all as you expect them to look,, when you meet them there. That is why it is so important to know them by heart and pay no attention to appearances. Remember the signs. Nothing else matters."
The Silver Chair, C.S.Lewis (Chronicles of Narnia)
When God visits smiling providences as he has so abundantly, on the Lagnaippe journey and prior, they are a reminder in the valleys when it is difficult to see. Things don't look at all as we expect them to look. Trusting the promises of God during surgery tomorrow. (For those of you who know Kelly is having surgery to remove a "suspicious" tumor from her uterus. Surgery is 12 noon). Thanks for your prayers. God is always good.
Remembering the signs,
Curt

To my brother in the Lord,
Doug and I have been and will most certainly continue to pray for Kelly and the doctors tomorrow. (and we have been praying for you as well). "The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." Exodus 14:14

Curt, One thing I always admired about your character is the "lets stop and pray about this NOW!"
I did just that after reading this post. Kelly's surgery had slipped my mind after being away from Lagniappe for so long. Thankfully I had this little reminder! Curt, if you get some time, read this short article by John Piper. It is called, "Don't Waste Your Cancer" http://www.desiringgod.org/library/fresh_words/2006/021506.html
I will be praying for Kelly and yourself. May the Lord bless you and keep you.
