Happy 12/12/12 blog family.
My appointment with Dr. Chang was a good one. The good news - no the great news - is that the pathology report from last week's endoscopy showed no signs of polyps or cancer. Yes! It also showed no signs of bacteria that could be causing the pain. I do have an irritated stomach lining. They call it gastritis, which is a medical term for "we don't know why your stomach lining is red."
So at this point in time my stomach lining is not the only thing that is irritated. My mind is not happy because my stomach is still telling it that there is pain. And the fact that the doctors don't know why, so they don't know what to do about it, makes me irritated. I renewed a prescription for pain killers, which is supposed to help me wait this thing out.
Now that I have updated you on my physical condition, let me update you on my emotional condition. When you are traveling a cancer journey and the doctors cannot explain why you hurt, you automatically think that there is cancer somewhere that they just have not found. You don't want to think that way, but that's just the way that you feel.
Now that I have updated you on my physical and emotional condition, let me update you on my spiritual condition. I might not understand why God does things in God's time, but I do understand that he has a wonderful master plan. I might not even agree with God on his timing, but I am clearly aware that He is God and that He is in control. So, I am trusting in Him every day. After all, it's not about me. It's all about Him!
Are you struggling with God's plan and God's timing? Remember this quote from Dr. David Jeremiah: "Nothing ever happens to me that is not filtered through His love."
