It has been a LONG time since I have posted on the blog. Life has been on "GO" for our family for several weeks!
To update what is going on tomorrow... I am having surgery on my thyroid as I discovered a small 8mm nodule about 9 months ago. I have had a couple ultrasounds and it has not had any significant growth during that time. I had a biopsy about 6 weeks ago and the results came back "undetermined". GEEZ! It is still undetermined whether it is cancer or not.... so the endocrinologist said "take it out". So, that is the plan for the morning at 7:40. This is not exactly what I would like to do, but for my health, it needs to be done. I would really like to not have to pop a pill for the rest of my life, so the surgeon said he may only remove the right lobe of the thyroid. We shall see. My health is just satan's way of attacking me. He knows that I am very weak there, so he bombards me with his arrows to bring me down. On Monday, I had a weak moment and I asked God to just let me know that I am his. And guess what?!? He did. He came straight to me walking across Shoney's empty parking lot. He has told me TRUTH all week and I love you by way of friends and family. He is using His children to bring me peace, hope and comfort. My precious sister just read me this earlier tonight:
To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 2 Corinthians 12:7~9
Lord, I need you! Oh, I need you! Every hour I need you. My one Defense, my Righteousness, oh God how I need you!
You crush the enemy underneath my feet. You are my sword and shield, though troubles linger still... Whom shall I fear? I know who goes before me, I know who stands behind... The God of angel armies is always on my side!
