Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness; He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteousness. Psalm 112:4
I woke up this morning not upset or discouraged. I was reminded that God continues to direct my path. I must rest and remember to trust in Him. I learned a very important lesson yesterday. If something is not meant to be there is nothing or no one who can change it. Yesterday, when I found out that there wasn't an approval for my PET Scan I took it upon myself to try and get it worked out. So many hours and so many people. It was frustrating and exhausting.
I don't know the reason but today was not the day to have the PET Scan. Originally, I thought that by the end of January I would have all my tests completed and would have already started chemotherapy. That was my plan. Obviously that is not the intended plan. Soon we will know all the reasons and answers. If we don't, it won't change a thing.
I was encouraged as I was reading this morning Loving God with All Your Mind by Elizabeth George. "Look for the gold by looking for the hidden blessing, the lesson learned, or the character being forged. Trust because God has allowed these experiences, somewhere in them there is gold for you."
I hope today you can go sift through the dirt and find some gold. I'm seeing some brilliant pieces today.
"Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous (victorious) right hand." Isaiah 41:10

A Wonderful Gift
As soon as I realized I was going to have surgery I knew I wanted to have family pictures taken. This was the best gift I could've been given. We had so much fun. If I ever doubt what I am fighting for it is for more days like this one. I encourage you to go and check out the following link to see a slide show. Turn up your speakers to your computer and enjoy the music. It is very fitting.

You are amazing--Your faith in God is incredable.
I have an incurable cancer-myself, Multiple Myeloma and some days I get so down-yet I have walked with the Lord almost all of my life and know He is faithful and will be with us cancer victims. I know that no matter what the doctors tell us, our loving Heavenly Father can heal us. He is in control. Praying for you.
Again I have to say God's Timing Is Perfect. He will prevail in everything. Your words are so encouraging to me - I cut & paste them into my Outlook Email & when I need encouragement I read them...I love you & continue to pray for you.
Extra Hugs!
