July 9, 2008 Surgery is scheduled

Hello loved ones!!!

My surgery has been scheduled for Wed. 16th @ 12:00. The surgery will
take 5 hours and I will be at Brookwood for 2 nights. I like my
plastic surgeon (female also) and believe she is an answer to prayer.

My heart is heavy as I write this...I had to do a CT of abdomen
yesterday looking for other cancer. The report came back that there
is something seen in uterus (cyst, fibroid, cancer) not sure. So I'll
be doing a follow up CT of pelvis probably Friday. The fire just got
hotter! Pray that it is not cancer!!! My her2 results showed
positive. What that means is that the cancer is feeding itself.
Definitely will do chemo and probably strong. Pray for that, I dread
it...

I was studying the word obedience in the greek, it is related to the
word faith..."Faith is of the heart, invisible to men, obedience is of
the conduct and may be observed. When a man obeys God he gives the
only possible evidence that in his heart he believes
God." (blueletterbible.org)

I'm reminded of Heb. 13:15 "Thru Him then, let us continually offer up
a sacrifice of praise to God , that is, the fruit of lips that give
thanks to His name". ONLY by HIS grace can I praise Him and thank Him
that His purposes and plans are so much higher than what I would
choose. I praise Him that He is good. I praise Him that He is the
lifter of my head. I praise Him that beholding His glory is worth it
all. I praise Him that He will accomplish that which concerns me and
especially my family Ps. 138

Join me in worship as we know that the sufferings that we share cannot
be compared to the glory that will be revealed Ro. 8:18

Thank you for the outpouring of love to me and my family!!!!!
