a little scared. I'm a little anxious. I'm a little nervous. Prior to my surgical biopsy, I have never had surgery.....and that was just a couple hours in a surgery center as an outpatient. This is the real deal.
Most of the time I'm at peace. At least when I'm doing something like having lunch with a friend or going grocery shopping or doing cameras at church. But its the other times when my mind goes to that place--that place of apprehension and fear. The times when its just me, when I'm doing dishes or folding clothes. That's why I love
to listen to Christian music and fill my mind with hope and encouragement. There are so many songs that have blessed me.
And then nighttime is the worst. Why is it that things always seem scarier in the middle of the night? I might wake up anxious, or fitful, unable to go back to sleep.
I believe in God's Word. I believe He loves us and cares for us. I believe in His promises.
The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you;
he will never leave you nor forsake you.
Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.
Deuteronomy 31:8
I command you -- be strong and courageous!
Do not be afraid or discouraged.
For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.
Joshua 1:9
I sought the LORD, and he answered me;
he delivered me from all my fears.
Psalm 34:4
My sister, Jan, is coming back from Ecuador to be with me for a week. I love her so much, as I do all my sisters. My husband, Scott, will be here, as he has been with me through much of this process.
I love you! I have other family and friends who are right by my side! Thank You! I'm gonna make it!
