It’s Valentine’s Day and I am thanking God for His amazing love and faithfulness.

I had my first MRI today. Like the biopsy, I built it up in my mind and expected the worst. (I really need to work on that.) The Lord was with me and helped me through it. Reciting scripture really helped. I focused on Psalm 56:3…”When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.” As I lay there on what was essentially a tire ramp for 20 minutes, I said this verse over and over. It helped me focus on the Lord instead of the clanging of the MRI machine. I am so thankful that the Lord calmed me and eased my fears.

The biggest praise was when the doctor called and said that the small tumor was contained. It has not spread to the lymph nodes. PRAISE THE LORD!!! I am trusting the Lord for treatment. While I want it to be simple, I will trust the God’s plan.

I am in the middle of a discipleship class where we are looking deeper into the life of Esther. One of our assignments is to get alone with God and really purify our hearts. That is what I want through this journey…a pure heart so that I will be in the very presence of the Lord.

Prayer Points for Today…

• Strength for this journey
