A LONG TIME COMING!




Psalm 25:1 O LORD, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in
perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things, things planned long
ago.


PRO 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own
understanding;


1 Peter6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift
you up in due time.


Psalm 33:21 In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.

It has been over fifteen years that Phillip Lee Montgomery (aka dad) has been waiting patiently for a kidney, the Lord has been kind to my dad and given him the opportunity for a new kidney. Praise the Lord!

Dad was diagnosed with PKD (polycystic kidney disease) fifteen years ago. My family and I have known and waited for fifteen years for a kidney transplant for dad. Dad has an amazing story to tell and proves the Lord's faithfulness and grace to our entire family. I am so proud of my dad; he has been through brain surgery, kidney removal, dialysis, and will now finally face a transplant. Through the Lord's gracious hand dad has overcome all of these obstacles. If you know my dad, you know he always has a smile on his face and something funny to say. He has always brightened my days. My dad is amazing and is a wonderful example of trusting the Lord fully.


I would also like to thank Tony; who is graciously donating a kidney to dad. He has never looked back once he made the decision and has given my dad a chance for a longer, healthier life. We will be forever grateful to you.

The date will be set for the transplant on Monday. Please continue to pray for dad and my entire family. When I know more, I will post again.
