In exactly one week from today, I will board a plane bound
for the other side of the world. Just
last week I celebrated 3 months of being cancer free. I, for a fleeting second
and a second too long, thought that God had brought me to the end, through the
whole journey with cancer, and that he had delivered me to my destination: free
of cancer with a ticket in hand. Sometimes you want to thank God for what he’s
done in your life and keep on moving forward.
This past Sunday, after two visits to the emergency room, I
was diagnosed with having ruptured cysts on my left ovary. Just six weeks ago,
we had made a middle of the night run to the ER for the same thing on the right
ovary. Since Sunday, my oncologist has reviewed the CT scans, and I will be
going in soon to have a PET scan in concern for cancer on the ovaries. I don’t
really know what this means. Well I know exactly what this means, we move back
into the space of trusting God for every step. It doesn’t look like this
journey is over yet!
I can be stubborn (just ask the hubs!..or don’t..) but I
still plan to board that plane to Cambodia next Thursday. I still plan to go
spend about a week with some amazing kids who know who holds the world in His
hands. I still plan to shine a light into the dark spaces of the world, and I
still plan to glorify a God, who can do ultimately more than we can imagine.
