This section will not be relevant to some readers who randomly find this page, I wish it were because having a relationship with the God who created you is glorious.  I am writing these things for my remembrance. I stated in another post that people worldwide were praying for me during and after my surgery. It is a blessing to me to hear the stories of prayer from so many, it is a true testament to the global body of Christ.  What was most encouraging to me at the time though was the many visitors who came to my hospital room and almost all of them prayed with me. As I was an expat living in Turkey, the most common languages were English and Turkish, but I also had some friends pray in Albanian and one guy pray in his West Texas accent, that was the most surprising 😉
