Typed all this out and noticed this is somewhat of an old thread... Eh, I took the time to type it I'll just send it anyways. Is there an update for us? Just wondering. (Obviously, you're not dead) I know I don't know you very well but you've always been really nice to me (everyone). Thanks for being awesome. Hope everything goes well and there won't be any complications. Praying for you! <3 Let your faith be bigger than your fears. Nothing can shake those who are secure in God’s hands. The perfect cure for worry is trust in God. -Please read entire reply. You might not agree but it took some time writing this.- Josh, If this is true and you are possibly close to death, then what I have put inside this spoiler is something you might want to think about. I am not saying you have to but it would mean a lot to me and it will help you. Read, study, and think about Gods word. He is the ONE true healer. There is NO one and nothing that can heal you and save you other then the blood and mercy of Jesus Christ. Just keep this in mind. If you do decide to pray and get serious about this, but still die, He has given you eternal life in heaven! (If you accepted him into your heart etc). Heaven is perfect! There is no sin, pain, illness, or any suffering! Because it's perfect, that is why it is a "true healing". When we die we leave a sinful world to MUCH better place! (If a Christian) God is the ONLY one who can see the "big picture". We are only able to see small bits here and there.
