Ruthie,
Just a few more days, and your new life begins!
Hope these few scriptures will help you through:
Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31
For I am the LORD, you God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. Isaiah 41:13
Don't tell GOD how big your storm is.
Tell the storm how big your GOD is!
Hoping you have a successful surgery, and rapid recovery.
