From one thing to another...

Sara went to the doctor a few weeks ago. They were afraid that she may have early stages of skin cancer. After a few late nights, some fervent prayer, and a second opinion, it was decided that everything was fine, but they wanted to remove it anyway. The doctor said he wanted to be safe rather than sorry. That's fine.

Fast forward to today. We get a call from the "female doctor." They tell her on the phone that she may have a cancer in her "girl parts." Of course, there's not alot of different ways to interpret this. So we scramble around trying to make an appointment, get a sitter for R3, and pray some more. Sara, of course is pretty upset. Her second "Hello. You've got cancer!" phone call in a month's time. After she had done some research (Google), she felt a little better. I guess it's not that uncommon for this type of thing to happen. It doesn't mean she has cancer, it just means she needs to be checked a little more often. I guess the people that call make it sound worse so that you come in faster, I guess.

I just pray that the Lord let me know why. Not so much that I question his plan, I would just like to know what we are to do with this circumstance. Are we to use this as a witness? Are we to use this as a cautionary tale? Is this to deter us from some future plans? I just pray that we understand the Lord's plan for us. I pray that his will be done. I pray for Sara's comfort. I learned along time ago, not to question God's motives. But asking for direction and revelation is the best way to get through times like this. We'll know a bit more after she goes to the doctor tomorrow. I ask you to pray for her/our understanding and that all is well.

Thanks.
