TEST Results

Wow! What an eventful few days it has been! A lot has happened since my consultation last Thursday. I've been truly tested in many ways since all of this began. But now I'm in a place to lose everything, as far as material things go.

First, I got a signed contract for the sale of my house! We are set to close on September 8th.

Second, I have sold almost all my chickens, along with other things I didn't want or need. I still have lots of little stuff for sale, but most of that will go in the yard sale I'll be having before I move.

Third, I put in my notice with my second job, the company I have been with for over 6 years. I'm done with all the stress of work, work, work. There's nothing in it for me anymore. I no longer have a drive for THAT kind of work.

And last, but certainly not least, I've experienced the Holy Ghost in a way I've never felt before. It's like I have a knowing that my time is short, however long that actually comes to be. There is an urgency in me, and it won't go away. The fire of the Lord is upon me.

I went back to Atlanta for my PET scan on Monday. This afternoon the Oncologist called to give me the results: the tumor is approximately 5-6 cm wide, and it has spread to the surrounding tissues as well as some of my pelvic lymph nodes. She will discuss this further with me when I go to see her on Monday morning.

This was not the news I wanted to hear, but it doesn't even matter. I am in a good place with the Lord, and it's a win-win for me. If I receive a miracle, that's great. If not, I get to go home to be with the Jesus my Lord! Either way, I now know my time is short, whether I live 6 months, 6 years, or 60 years. I have a work to do with the Lord right now, and I refuse to waste another minute!

In your prayers for me, simply pray that I will preach the Word and the Truth with BOLDNESS to all who will hear it. That's all I want.

The beauty of all this is knowing I'm ready to go, both to the mission field, and to Jesus. That is the true test, and the results are in! :)

Good News!

After two and a half weeks of research, phone calls, confusion, and exhaustion, I finally had a breakthrough today! I know what hospital I'm going to AND I got approved for medicaid!

It's a very long story, but basically I found out that Breast & Cervical cancer patients can get approved for medicaid immediately through their local Health Department, as long as you meet the financial requirements.

The Health Department is telling me it is supposed to go back 3 months for coverage, which means all my hospital bills from June should be covered. My portion of the hospital bills were way more than I could afford, so this is such a relief and a blessing!!

Whew! Thank You Jesus!

As I write this, I'm very tired. This has been a stressful process, time consuming, with lots of uncertainty. But now that this important task is completed, I can make my appointment in Atlanta to see an Oncologist, and to get some further tests done. That will be done first thing in the morning.

Goodnight all! :)
