Spring is in the air and I am delighted. The end is in sight and I can hardly wait!
First, I want to fill you in on what's been happening with me lately. There's a lot to tell. LOL! So what else is new? Right?
Well, first I lost my job. I was really bummed about it at the time but it turns out God knows exactly what He's doing. Wow! Really?
A week after that I was getting ready to go to the gym and I noticed a lump in my groin area. I asked Charles if my "package" looked big. He was concerned. I told him that I would call the doctor. when I got back. I came back and called the doctor and they told me to come right down. That's what's nice about having a friend who's a doctor and not in the Wellstar group.
I went down and she examined me. She thought it might be a hernia. Unusual for women to get them in that area but not unheard of. So she sent me right over to get a CT Scan done. Then she calls and tells me that it's not a hernia, that my Lymph Nodes are swollen. She wanted to send me over to see a surgeon to have a biopsy done. So I went to see him and he scheduled the surgery. That went well.
He said there was no malignancy, it was benign. But they had to do blood tests to see what is going on. And I have to go see an Infectious Disease Specialist. I'm feeling really good. If I had had to go through this stuff and work my job it would have been difficult but God is looking out for me. the only fly in the ointment is that I haven't been able to go to the gym as much and I hate that. I can feel it. I have put some weight back on but I will start working on taking it back off (And then some) after I get all this taken care of.
And Charles has a job working for Clark Ambulance and The Coroner's Office. My Unemployment should be kicking in any day now. I have also decided to use this time to really think about what I want to do. I'm so burned out on Customer Service. My son-in-law works at a hospital and says he can get me a job as a sitter. You just sit in the room with the patient to keep an eye on them. I think I can do that. I am also toying with the idea of a small home-based business I would like to start so there are many things in the work. So rather than being a downer, I'm very exciting about the prospects that are before me.
I just ask that you pray for me. That God will show me the way He would have me to go.
Easter is coming. It is my favorite Christian holiday. Christmas is great. The fact that God came down to Earth and wrapped Himself in flesh in order to give His life for us is wonderful. But Easter is the culmination of that incredible plan, the one He set in place before the foundation of the Earth.
I love the song "Blessed Redeemer" by Casting Crowns.
Up Calvary's mountain one dreadful morn
Walked Christ my Savior, weary and
worn
Facing for sinners, death on the cross
That He might save them from
endless loss
Blessed Redeemer, precious Redeemer
Seems now I see Him
on Calvary's tree
Wounded and bleeding, for sinners pleading
Blind and
unheeding, dying for me
"Father, forgive them," my Savior prayed
Even
while His lifeblood flowed fast away
Praying for sinners while in such
woe
No one but Jesus ever loved so
Blessed Redeemer, precious
Redeemer
Seems now I see Him on Calvary's tree
Wounded and bleeding, for
sinners pleading
Blind and unheeding, dying for me
Dying for me
Blessed Redeemer, precious
Redeemer
Seems now I see Him on Calvary's tree
Wounded and bleeding, for
sinners pleading
Blind and unheeding, dying for me
Oh, how I love Him,
Savior and Friend
How can my praises ever find end?
Through years
unnumbered on Heaven's shore
My songs shall praise Him
forevermore
Blessed Redeemer, precious Redeemer
Seems now I see Him on
Calvary's tree
Wounded and bleeding, for sinners pleading
Blind and
unheeding, dying for me
Blessed Redeemer, precious Redeemer
Seems now
I see Him on Calvary's tree
Wounded and bleeding, for sinners
pleading
Blind and unheeding, dying for me
Blessed Redeemer, precious
Redeemer
Seems now I see Him
Thank You, Father, for the wonderful gift of Your Precious Son!
