Today my new knee is one-year old and what a year it has been! I am spending a lot of time contemplating what this year has meant. One year ago I woke up from surgery with an awareness that God had very specifically answered my prayers related to some of my fears about the surgery. My first thoughts when I woke up were thanking God for making himself so real to me. Of course we know what came next - a long struggle with pain and immobility and many other revelations of who God desired to be in the midst of my pain.
It's always easier to look back on a difficult experience. God has had a long list of things He desired to teach me during this time. Someday I will be able to share with you what those lessons were all about. I pray that I will be a new person because of this journey.
I could not have made it through this year without the love and support of my family. I know that I could be difficult and I spent a lot of time asking others to wait on me. Thank you for your love, for your patience and especially for your prayers.
What an awesome way to bring this year to a close - receiving a touch from God that has given my new knee life. My prayer is that many people will come to understand God, our Jehovah Rapha - the God with the power to heal!
I stand amazed at who He his and what He is doing in all of our lives! There has been a purpose in the journey and a purpose in the healing.

Mom, I was just sharing your miracle with my Bible Study girls last night, realizing it had been a year exactly! God is so real, and so good! I am still marveling at the new and improved you!
