Please Pray

June 24, 2008

Hey everyone,
I hope everyone is having a great summer!!! I want to share the goodness of God and ask for prayer...last week I went in to see a new Dr. for my yearly check-ups. She found a lump in my Lt breast and referred me to a Breast surgeon (Dr. April Maddux @ Brookwood). I went today to have mammo's and ultra sound. There is definitely a lump of some sort that is not a cyst. Because my breast are dense they had a hard time seeing all that they wanted to see. Therefore, I should have an MRI this week and probably a biopsy the first of next week. Dr. Maddux mentioned that she probably would want to take it out regardless of what it is. She also said that without the exam from my new Dr., the mammos would not have been enough to detect it. It probably would have been passed over.
Oh how I praise God for His faithfulness to His children. I have been overwhelmed at His love and out pouring of His word to me. "I love Thee, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer. My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge. My shield and the horn of my salvation my stronghold. I call upon the lord, who is worthy to be praised and I am saved from my enemies...in my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried to my God for help; He heard my voice out of His temple, and my cry for help before Him came into His ears." Ps 18

What a privilege that the God of this universe has allowed my cry for help to come before HIm. I am so grateful for this blanket of peace that has covered me since my first Dr's visit. God has so prepared me thru His word and one verse was when the children of Israel where in the desert and they were grumbling..."and they tested the Lord, saying "Is the LOrd among us, or not?" Ex. 17:7 To believe that God is not with us or doesn't hear our cry is testing and opposing the truth of HIs word. Please pray for my continual seeking of HIs presence...please pray for faith for my sweet family. That my children's faith will grow and they will learn how to lay hold of His word and walk in faith, not sight. That my sweet husband will be carried by our Great Shepherd. I believe this is harder for him than me. Thank you for all your prayers, I'm so grateful for sister's to cry out to!!
May all glory and honor go to the one who is worthy of our praise!!!!
