Update to the update

Thank you to everyone who was praying for me.

Today was the test, and at the last minute I decided to forgo the sedation. Honestly, I was more nervous about the sedation and risk to my MG than the test itself. I was praying about it and felt God telling me I can handle it but it's in my hands to what I decide to do. I decided I've been through worse, He is right, I can handle this. No sedation.

The doctor said all seems fine which is great. However, I've been in quite a bit of pain today. Pain is not supposed to happen after the fact, but I'm never normal. The doctor called me directly today to discuss it and I have to let him know if it doesn't go away in the next 2 days. Another thing- I don't really do pain meds, so I'm just sort of tolerating this with the help of icy-hot.

But I got to thinking. I am just full of thanks today and praising God for all He has blessed me with. And that- praising God through it ALL- changes everything. Everything.

Thank You Lord, for allowing me to do this test without sedation, for guiding the doctor's hands and comforting me through it. Thank You Lord, for all going well, no complications and the doctor giving me a clean slate as far as the symptom I was having. Thank You Lord, for being with me through each and every symptom, test, diagnosis, procedure, surgery, doctor and medication I encounter. You are my strength. You.

Thank you Lord, for blessing me with such incredible people in my life. I have been praying that You bring those into my life You want in, and remove those You want out, and You have done just that. I trust that with every loss is a gain, one that I may not always see but You always know. Thank You for those who inspire me, encourage me, comfort me and love me. Thank You for those who are doing the work Jesus called us to do. Thank You for helping me do the same and be the best I can be for them also. Thank You for showing me that everything we do we are to do in Your name for You. Thank You for working on me each day to develop me into who You want me to be.

Thank you to everyone who has been praying and continues to pray. Your prayers lift me up to Him and He comforts me. It is truly a blessing to have you pray for me.

Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. Matthew 18:19
