Benign

dark cloud
 I love you, Lord, my strength!  He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him—
the dark rain clouds of the sky.
  He reached down from on high and took hold of me;
he drew me out of deep waters.
  He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
(from Psalm 18)

What a lovely word.

I received the pathology report today: Benign. No further treatment indicated.
Thank you, Lord!
Your light shining on this part of the journey revealed Fear still hiding in the shadows, and when he threatened to overwhelm me you rescued me.
You are good. Thank you!

    1. Thank you, Melody, for rejoicing with me! It is challenging -but here is what I am learning. God does the fighting and the rising above. Our part is to learn to trust him and enter His rest. He is the one who has overcome.

    1. You know what is so wonderful about being in Abba’s family together is that there is a spiritual bond between brothers and sisters that goes around the world. You are such a blessing to me. I am SO honoured that you care. May you prosper in every way and grow in wisdom and knowledge of our Lord.
