So I finally had my appointment and what we suspected is true. Something is rapidly growing (probably a cyst) and it is causing all kinds of annoying problems. The initial visit is to be followed up by an ultrasound and then surgical removal. I’ve undergone surgery before so I know the routine and I know it is probably nothing — or it could be cancer. I invited Him, knowing full well that His ways are not my own, and this development is an obvious response. Praise God for clear communication! Prayers are being answered and so long as I keep my gaze (desperate stare) on Christ, I am worry free — but the second I get sleepy or distracted, worry and doubt floods my heart. My husband is faithfully ministering to me and even in the last couple weeks, our friendship has much strengthened. In that way, I am already enjoying the fruits of this trial. I am learning to fight my fears and overcome my anxiety with truth, to be joyful even when I don’t really feel like it and to always, always, always go to bed on time.
