It Is Well With My Soul

First thanking God for answering prayers and being faithful and true!  Thanking Jesus Christ for His power of healing! Thanking Jesus for suffering a horrible death on the Cross for our sins! What a mighty God we serve! Thanking all of you for your prayers, words of support and comfort. I love you all so very much.

Phil is out of the hospital. They ran so many test on him, from an MRI to an ultrasound on his heart. All test came back fine except for the ultrasound on his heart which the doctor said was nothing for us to worry about. He has a little flap which is not opening and closing properly but  it is not affecting his heart in a harmful way. Phil's sugar has dropped within the normal range and we are praising God for this. He has another doctor's appointment this Friday. His spirits are up and he is back to his old self once again. Whew! What a scare we had! But, we know God is more than able to see us through these storms which pop up in our lives.

As for me, well, my doctor said that I have two pea size spots on my right breast. He said, (and I also talked to my best friend who is an RN), that I should not worry about them. The radiologist which looked at my films said they did not look malignant, but could be cyst or fatty tissue. So, this Thursday I will have a test run at 12:30 pm. The radiologists will look at the films and let me know if I will need an ultrasound. Just in case the ultrasound is scheduled for 2 pm.

The entire time Phil was in the hospital I totally forgot to pray over myself. I prayed for him every moment of the day. I wasn't sure whether I should tell him about the results of my mammogram, then I remembered the promise we made that we would not keep medical secrets or any secrets for that matter from each other. So, I told him and he got so worried. I told him I was not worried, (although I had heard every horror story which could be told in less than a day) but I was a little afraid and he should not be worried either.

God knows that we will become afraid, but we should not let that fear consume us. We must take those fears and put them under the authority of Jesus Christ. We must overcome these fears with the Word of God. This is what I did. I wrote down every fear scripture and I prayed them out loud to God until the fear left and God's peace flooded my soul.

I read them out loud daily. 

I told him I have a peace about it regardless if my test come back as malignant or not. God has placed a peace within me. It is well within my soul. I kept singing the song, "It Is Well With My Soul" the whole week. If you do not know this song, just click on the title and read the words. Then, you will know why "it is well with my soul."

Those who do not know about the goodness of the Lord do not understand. I have surrendered all into His hands and know that it will all work out for the better of the good. I love the Lord and have placed my complete trust and faith in Him. He knows what is best for me and that is all that matters to me.

I urge any of my female readers who are over 40 or who have a history of breast cancer in their family to please, please get a mammogram. Schedule one today and get the process underway. Do not wait one minute longer.

I will let you know how my test turn out. Just know this: I have a peace which surpasses all understanding. I have a faith in God which runs deeper than the ocean. My soul is firmly anchored in Christ. The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?  I know within my heart that, "this too shall pass."

Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Father's Son, will be with us in truth and love.
