The Phone Call

This is actually an entry from earlier this summer... I posted it because I know more information now.
---------
My day started just like any normal summer day. I woke up and got the kids breakfast and then crawled back into bed. I was laying there watching "Meet Me in St. Louis" when my obgyn called me on my cell. She started out by saying that she has some news and didn't want me to worry... Not always a great thing to hear right off the bat. By the end of the conversation I was in shock at what she told me. I hung up the phone and tried to wrap my mind around what she said. It appears that I have cervical cancer. I am in the very early stages so there is no need to panic, but when one hears the words c-a-n-c-e-r you tend to dive into drama diva mode. I called Eric and he came home immediately from work. We talked and prayed and he wanted to take the day off, but I needed to keep going with my busy schedule just so that I could escape my thoughts.

I told the fam and everyone pretty much said, "You're fine! No worries." (My family deals with this kind of stuff all the time... cervical cancer is totally treatable).

Many of you don't know that I have been having alot of pain, issues, etc. over the past many months, but test after test after test has come back negative until February when I was also fighting off pnemonia I started showing signs that there was more wrong than I wanted to admit. The difficult part is that they can only do tests every 6 weeks, so there has been alot of waiting. My doctor told me that I will be going in to get a biopsy when I get back in town on June 23rd. I am praying that everything will be fine, and I can go about my life without much fuss, but we will see. I am completely confident that I have nothing to worry about. My body is, and always will be God's. I have absolutely nothing to fear. I love knowing that this is yet another chance for God to bring glory to himself alone.

Since that entry, I went through alot of testing and they finally came to the conclusion that I did have some irregular cells. They did a cervical scrape (which is very painful) and when they did the biopsy, they found nothing. No cancer, no irregular cells, nothing.
I was so thankful. I still have to go in for more testing and the doctors still have alot of questions about my health, but I am so thankful that the Lord allowed me to be okay.

GOD Rejoices in YOU!

I was reading cards at Hobby Lobby and came across one that said the following:

"God Wants you to remember... I am for you. I love you. I believe in you. I will not fail you. I will be with you. I will provide for you. I will bless you. I will give you rest. I will strengthen you." One of my favorite verses from the Bible is Zephaniah 3:17. It says, "The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over You with singing." Don't forget you are loved, saved, forgiven, healed, held, and cherished by God. If you have time read Colossians 1:15-23 in the Bible.
