Psalm for Those Awaiting Test Results

Lord,
 
You invite me
to learn to be thankful
in every circumstance ~
 
how
 
much must I trust
to honestly do that  -
to sleep without worrying?
 
Should
 
I smile through tears
in spite of quaking heart
as I await test results?
 
I
 
admit my fears;
even as I give You
the issue, I feel I must
 
pray
 
the biopsy
proves this little nodule
is in no way cancerous.

I have spent most of the summer of 2012 going from one medical facility to another for a series of tests & examinations. These tests have included, but are not limited to, extensive blood work; two CT scans; two MRIs; two mammograms; and, an ultrasound - not to mention all the poking & prodding of physical examinations. I am scheduled to have a biopsy on September 4th to determine if further action is necessary.

I was with my daughter, Cindy, helping her prepare her classroom for the new school year, when I received the call I needed to have a 2nd mammogram and possibly an ultrasound. Intuitively I felt the need to be strong & show grace for the moment to be a positive example for her if she should ever face a similar situation.

I have given the situation over to God as well as to give thanks for the situation for fear cannot live in the same place as thankfulness. I will be posting a letter to Lexi, my granddaughter, soon, entitled "Giving Thanks for All Things" which will provide more information about this. Thanks for reading. Love, Jan
