Update!

I have been praying about doing something for a long time now...lets say two years. I have been praying about weather or not to have surgery done on my nose. My mindset has been that its fine how it looks and thats how God made me. But, I have to admit I am not even happy with the look of the nose God gave me. I hate going out in public...I always made the excuse that I like to stay home. The real reason I do not like people looking at me...staring in fact. I don't like the questions asked.
Some dear friends suggested I get some "work" done on my nose. I told them I was happy with it- but I look back and think that I really wasn't and haven't been. Thankfully I have accepted the fact that God made me like this for a reason. It took a older lady on visitation asking me what was wrong with my face to look into having surgery done again. 
SO, when I went to the doctor to get some ringworm checked on my face I happened to ask her about having surgery. She then referred me to a neurologist. It took me a whole month to muster up enough courage to go. I went at the beginning of this year and told him that I am concerned about my health and what the nerofibroma can do in the future. We had a good talk..thankfully a good friend of mine went to my appointment with me. The neurologist then referred me to a plastic surgeon! The day after my appointment the plastic surgeon called to set up an appointment!!! I go Monday...I am excited and nervous at the same time. I know my face will never be perfect...which is fine..We all have our own imperfections...if we didn't the world would defiantly be boring. =) I am made in God's sight and thankful for that. I am also thankful that the Lord seems to be working everything out in His own timing. I am learning to wait on the Lord during this process...and can't wait to see what happens! I am even praying for the opportunity of maybe witnessing and sharing my testimony to my doctors! What a great privilege that will be!
Please pray as I am going throughout the process...esp. the insurance part of it. Which I am going to ask my pastor and his wife to help me figure out that part of it =0
Well cherrio for now! Thanks for reading my post!
