Recently, I have had some questions regarding my health which led to surgery January 27th. A 9.5 cm tumor was removed from my lower abdomen. We were thinking possibly a large ovarian cyst at the time, but because of it's size it was hard to determine what it was. It turned out to be an extremely rare type of cancer.
And so the journey begins.
My next appointment is this Tuesday, February 15th. We will learn much more then. We really don't know much of anything at this point and we have many questions. My plan is to communicate through this site. Again, how I wish it were possible to call each of you personally. I thank you ahead for your prayers. For myself, for Darcy, my children and family and for one another. May God's will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Amen.
(I am in the process of creating a website, as the Lord has been leading me to share my life and having a website with a blog attached was part of that. (Hmm...I wasn't quite expecting this!) I will continue to share this way until the website is up and running and I will let you know)
I could not help but read my first entry before this. Yes, together, if you would like to join me, we will seek the Lord and stay very close to Him through this uncharted territory. I am belieiving, with all of my heart, that we will see the goodness of the Lord at every turn. He has a plan in this! I belong to Him. I gave Him my life a long time ago and I am in good hands. He loves me deeply. He knows what is in my heart because He has put desires there that I know He will fulfill. He is the center of my life and it is all about singing and praising Him and telling others of his great love. I believe He wants to "show off" His power and beauty through this. Let's trust Him in His work in me as He is drawing me nearer to Him than I have ever been before.
His first song to me this year, January 2011, was taken from Song of Solomon 1:4.
Draw me and we will run after You...
So let's run after Him together! I have so much to share. My heart is full of the goodness and the love of the Lord! I have peace and I am resting in Him. He has been speaking to me from the very beginning. I will share more later, but let me leave you with this last thought...
At the very beginning, as I began to cry out to Him from the depths of my heart as fear knocked loudly as my door. I felt so vulnerable. I asked Him to put me into the right hands in the medical field. He spoke almost immediately through a dear friend. He gave me Isaiah 41:10-
Fear not, for I am with you; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My victorious right hand of rightness and justice.
Which led to Acts 18:10-
For I am with you and no man shall assalt you to harm you,
for I have many people in this city.
Which led to Jeremiah 1:8-
Be not afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you, says the Lord.
