it is well with my soul

I am happy to report that I am feeling much, much better!  Thanks so much for all of your prayers!

"But now thus says the Lord,

He who created you, O Jacob;

He who formed you, O Israel:

do not fear, for I have redeemed you;

I have called you by name,

you are Mine.

When you pass through the waters,

I will be with you;

and through the rivers,

they shall not overwhelm you;

when you walk through fire,

you shall not be burned,

and the flame shall not consume you.

For I am the Lord your God,

the Holy One of Israel, your Savior...

because you are precious in my sight,

and honored, and I love you,

I give people in return for you,

nations in exchange for your life.

Do not fear, for I am with you."

- Isaiah 43:1-5
