write his blog, and then later ate his breakfast, the bump dissipated.\u00a0 We were chatting at the kitchen table when I looked up and said that the bump was gone.\u00a0 He reached back and felt the back of his head and could tell that it really was gone.\u00a0 He prayed for healing, as I&#8217;ve been doing daily since before the surgery even occurred, now let&#8217;s just pray it stays this way.<\/p>\n<p>We always both turn back to this song from Casting Crowns in times of life&#8217;s trials and tribulations, but it is ever so fitting.<\/p>\n<p><em>I was sure by now,God, that You would have reached down<br \/>\nand wiped our tears away,<br \/>\nstepped in and saved the day.<br \/>\nBut once again, I say amen<br \/>\nand it&#8217;s still raining<br \/>\nas the thunder rolls<br \/>\nI barely hear You whisper through the rain,<br \/>\n&#8220;I&#8217;m with you&#8221;<br \/>\nand as Your mercy falls<br \/>\nI raise my hands and praise<br \/>\nthe God who gives and takes away.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Chorus:<br \/>\nAnd I&#8217;ll praise you in this storm<br \/>\nand I will lift my hands<br \/>\nfor You are who You are<br \/>\nno matter where I am<br \/>\nand every tear I&#8217;ve cried<br \/>\nYou hold in your hand<br \/>\nYou never left my side<br \/>\nand though my heart is torn<br \/>\nI will praise You in this storm <\/em><\/p>\n<p>And, we will continue to praise God in this storm, just knowing that he knows the purpose for our pain, our trials, and our lives.\u00a0 We just pray that we are wise enough to listen when he&#8217;s calling, and know that he is always with us.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat:
