Thanks for praying for my scan this morning. I slept well (with the exception of one coughing attack late last night). I had no trouble with my blood sugar, my port was cooperative and they only had to redo one small part of the scan because I must have moved my nose. Apparently in the scan she could see 3 noses. Oops!
While I was waiting an hour for the radioactive stuff to move around my body, I read my Bible passages for the day (I’m reading through the Bible in a year) and listened to Pandora. A couple songs that came on while I was sitting there resting were absolutely perfect and just what I needed.
And since I’m talking about crying, I cried during the scan as well. I’m thinking that my sniffling from the few tears was probably what made me have 3 noses – lol. Oh well. What a joy it was to lay in silence, not being able to move or do anything and pray for many of you who came to mind.
God has truly blessed us with a community of family and friends (who are like family). I’m so thankful God led us to Reseda Baptist, APU, Christ Community, Wild Rose, Eastridge, Taylor Creek, and Lake Wilderness. 🙂 Nothing is by mistake – the churches we have attended, the schools and colleges we’ve gone to, the classrooms our kids have been placed in, the neighborhood we live in, the jobs we have worked in, even the grocery store we shop at – nothing is by chance, but all part of God’s plan.
Thanks for walking this journey with us and praying.
So much to be thankful for . . .
I love you, Jennifer; praying for you.
Love you too!
Sounds like you made it through on the wing of a prayer(s)!! Tonight I hope you can know another peaceful night while you await the results. May you feel God’s presence and may the comforting words from scripture play in your head and settle in your heart. He is your ROCK!!
Lots of hugs and prayers coming your way.
I did! Thanks Marcia.
Praying for peaceful sleep tonight. So glad to hear the scan went smoothly. No matter what tomorrow holds, you are loved by an amazing Savior and so many friends. Xoxo
Thank you friend!
Slept good! Waiting at the office now…
We are big Jadon Lavik fans! In fact we have a Jadon Lavik station on Pandora. Our kids like to listen to it on the way to school in the morning. Glad your scan went smoothly!
I will have to add that station too! 🙂
Your post brought back a memory for me. Stop me if you’ve heard this story. 😉 I was getting a scan before my official cancer diagnosis. I had brought a CD of hymns to listen to, but the machine was so loud that I couldn’t hear any of the music. I’m not claustrophobic and the scan was not painful, but about half an hour into it (lying on my tummy with my arms extended over my head trying not to move) I started to panic. That’s when the machine went completely quite for a minute and I heard Amy Grant sing the words to my new favorite hymn: “Be still my soul, the Lord is on thy side. Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain. Leave to thy God to order and provide. In every change, He faithful will remain.”
God is so good.
Love that! Just when you needed it!
Thank you, Jennifer for your comment. Living in Southern California and too many miles away from my daughter, I find comfort whenever I hear Jean Sibelius’s Finlandia on KUSC, the local classical music radio station. It is often played and now I have an even greater connection to this beautiful hymn. Thank you!
We are ready to sell our house and buy a larger one with a father-in-law suite and shop whenever you are ready!! We’ll even buy you some more flannel shirts to keep you warm! Our real estate agent has a search ready for houses that meet our criteria. 🙂
Praying for you and against the one who seeks to rob our joy and confidence. He is with us always–praise for a God who lives within and sustains us. Love you
Thanks Aunt Patti. Love you too!
I love the remixes Jadon Lavik has done of hymns. They are a blessing!
