Cancer. [when positive means negative]

"You have cancer."
These are three words no one wants to hear.
These are also the three words I recently heard from my mother as she relayed the doctor's message.
I had suspected it was true, but hearing the words spoken made my intuition an actual reality.

So here I am.
I have been told I have thyroid cancer that has possibly metastasized to my lymph nodes. (and who knows where else)

Now what?
Waiting.
Waiting for appointments.
Waiting for phone calls from doctors.
Waiting for news.
Waiting on my God to show me what He is doing.

Many people have told me, "It will be okay. You will be fine."
Well of course it will. It IS okay. and I AM fine.

I serve my Creator who is the Great Physician.
He knows exactly what is going on in my body.
He knows exactly what I need.

My hope and trust is in Him.
I stand on His promises.
I give thanks for the blessings that will come from Jesus through what Satan intended for evil.

For those of you who believe in Jesus' powerful love, please pray for me. Pray not just that I will be healed as a display of God's miraculous love, but that I will remain firm as a testimony of the Grace of God to bring peace to His loved ones. Please also pray for my family. It's not easy for them either.

"The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth.
He never grows weak or weary.
No one can measure the depths of His understanding.
He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless.
Even youths will grow weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. 
But those who hope in the Lord will find new strength.
They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary.
They will walk and not faint." ~Isaiah 40:28-31

This is my hope. God is my rock. Here in His love I stand.
