My study is organized. Still some "decorating" to do and then time for some photos.
I had planned to have it completed by now.
My life has been interrupted.
What I thought was a routine visit to my dermatologist last Tuesday has rocked our world.
The power of the C word.
It's a small lesion where a small malignant tumor was found. The doctor who wrote the biopsy report says the prognosis is excellent. She also included probable/possible next steps and special blood work-ups.
The struggle is to think on "excellent" alone rather than mull over the words which make me wonder "what if". I know I'm not supposed to but yet for a moment I visit that phrase. In 2 days I have an appointment with Dr. Glass at Moffit.
I've been filling my hungry soul with the best medicine I know..the Lord's fresh bread...His Word that grounds, comforts and encourages me.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-19 cries out to me - it is a passage that helps me keep my persective and begs me to lean into my Savior.
From Eugene Peterson 's paraphrase - The Message
16 Be cheerful no matter what;
17 pray all the time;
18 thank God no matter what happens.
This is the way God wants you
who belong to Christ Jesus to live.
19 Don't suppress the Spirit
Yes, Lord - here's looking at YOU!
