Well, the visit with the specialist yesterday went very well. I learned that one of the "suspicious somethings" seen on breast screenings will require no biopsy, as first believed. We shall wait and watch for any changes for a few months, and if none, dismiss it as no threat. Words cannot express our gratitude for this! Half of the uncertainty has now gone away. The outpouring of love and prayer on our behalf has taken us by surprise. We are especially thankful for this!
As for the other: biopsy was done yesterday. So just a little longer to wait. I should get a call later this morning. This is when we learn one of two things: either I have some work to do to regain health, or (despite all of this drama) I was never ill at all. (Seems a long time to be held in suspense to hear that you are healthy, doesn't it? Especially with such a serious condition.)
Either way, in nearly two weeks of waiting, new light has been
shed upon three things:
* How loved we are by God, friends, family (even strangers)
* How much loved ones have gone through with
their health
* What is truly important in life (and what is not)
Those who know us know that Ron & I have a passion for
health. In recent days this passion has been validated as critically important
for living our very best life. In fact, we hope to increase our efforts to live
well. But bodily health is just a part. There’s also the mind: de-toxing from tired,
old thinking in the face of new evidence (politics, religion, etc.) And the
Spirit: casting down hurt, fear, and doubt that our loving God would ever let
us down. Forgiveness and openness. Learning to live in peace and have fun no matter what. And helping others do so, too!
This is true wholeness; what we were made for. -What a high
price was paid for, & what we wish to honor.
We are made for better. And with God's grace & help, whatever today brings, we aim to live it all the way!
