This Road....

The wait is over, tomorrow will find me undergoing a biopsy and with that hopefully answers to what the next steps need to be. This has been a stressed filled couple of months and often I have had to redirect my thoughts to find peace. So many times bad thoughts and concerns would creep in and try to steal my presence of mind.

I know that I have been truly blessed in my life, as friends and family have rallied around me in support and action. My mom and dad have sent cards and gifts as well as phone call hugs, reminding me of where my strength comes from. My sister Libby was there for an escape, in October, to Royal Oak; little sister Kim has called with hugs and was willing to come and be with me at this point for the biopsy, she also sent a great devotional that has spoken to me in the quite of night, when struggles seem to overwhelm me. My precious daughters have called and supported me in thought and prayer. My own Andrea has come and stayed with me, not even realizing that - it was my need she was filling, in the doing. She will also come and stay with me tomorrow for the evening, just to make sure I am a-okay. My dear old friend Valerie is going to be my driver and "holder of the keys etc..." and will give me the peace of mind that someone is physically there with me. I thank all of those that offered to do this for me and truly know that I am loved. Lurinda and Susan, JR and Carrie, Jennifer and Rhonda, Sally and Margaret and many others have written,called, emailed and dropped off tidbits just to let me know they are also there and keeping me lifted up. My doctors and medical staff have been supportive and understanding in my fears and concerns.

Now all that is left to do is go through the process with dignity and grace....That is what I desire, that no matter the outcome, I will show to others my center is in Christ and He will sustain me.

I am sorry that through this process I lost out on a new relationship, but I have to believe that GOD is in control and that what is happening is all for the best for everyone.

I also know with out a doubt, that I need to continue on my journey and stop the weaving back and forth with my course of action. I have things to accomplish that I had begun and have gone off course and become stuck in the mire...so to that, I say today is a new day...begin today to follow the road that has been set before you.
