"Being informed brings a sense of security. It's natural to want to know what's happening in our lives. Job wanted to know what was going on, why he was suffering. In previous chapters, we sense his frustration. Elihu claimed to have the answer for Job's biggest question, "Why doesn't God tell me what is happening?" Elihu told Job that God was trying to answer him, but he was not listening. Elihu misjudged God on this point. If God were to answer all our questions, we would not be adequately tested. What if God had said, "Job, Satan's going to test you and afflict you, but in the end you'll be healed and get everything back?" Job's greatest test was not the pain, but that he did not know WHY he was suffering. Our greatest test may be that we must trust God's goodness even though we don't understand why our lives are going a certain way. We must learn to trust in GOD who is good and not in the goodness of life."
I want to trust the goodness of God, and know that at the end of the day, He is still sovereign. I want to rest peacefully, assured that He is taking care of things even if it doesn't seem that way. I want to have huge faith and live this life in such a way that I only point to Him.
Surgery 2 will be on August 30. Please pray that the next few days will be time well spent with those I love most!

Just a word of encouragement about your Dr. You are in expert hands both physically and spiritually. Dr. Munoz was my sister's Dr. beginning about 8 years ago and mine too. As you get to know him better you'll see his compassion and care. When Randy and I heard your diagnosis, we both said we wished that Dr. Munoz would be your doctor so I was so relieved when I heard he was. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Love you much, The Corbins
I think about you daily..and am contacting every prayer warrior I know. I wish I could say that was me..but I usually don't feel like i am there yet. Maybe this is why I moved to Georgia..so that we could have another state praying besides just Texas...:) Love you

We are praying Allyson. Love you.
Allyson C., we raised you better than this. Our loving Heavenly Father is holding you in the cup of his hands, surrounding you and yours with his love, comfort, and his very being. Love you sweetheart. Ronnie & Lorene Young
Sweet Allyson, there is not an hour that goes by that I don't pray for you. You even invade my dreams. Would you please stop already??? I haven't been sleeping well! :)
Seriously, I have been in constant prayer, and my little prayer warrior, Brady, who loves his Mrs. Allyson, has now taken up your cross. We're praying negative thoughts away and will accept no other outcome than a complete recovery!!! You ARE strong, God IS good, and you WILL prevail! Have a blessed few days with your beautiful boys. I love you, precious!!

We love you and are praying for you!!!!
We pray for peace that passes all understanding as you go through this season in life.
I had a mass last year and know exactly how you feel about not being able to hold your babies. Andy and I have a son (Thomas) who will be 2 in 2 weeks.
We are here for you and even though we live several hours away, whatever you need we are there for you. We will do anything we can possibly do to help you.
My mom, Jay and his family and Andy's parents send their love and prayers!

Hey friend! I just wanted you to know I am thinking about you (constantly) and have added you to every prayer list I know of.
Oh, and Jared is asking if his buddy had a good day at kindergarten, too? :)
We love you!
Michelle, Boyd, Jared and Kelsie
