Psalm 91:2
2I will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
Last week at Camp Penuel, this was one of our memory verses. I am so thankful that God saw fit that I would memorize this at this time in my life. It has come as a great comfort this week.
Yesterday, it was the first thing that came to my mind after my doctor told me that I have a new heart murmur and that it could be related to the severe edema I had in my legs last Thursday and Friday. I remained calm and remembered that God was my fortress and that he is Trust Worthy.
The medical side of things are this:
My blood work was unremarkable for anything thing like cancer, this far.
An ultrasound of the deep vessels in my legs showed that I have no arteries or veins that are blocked to cause swelling. GOOD NEWS.
An ultrasound of my abdomen to look at my spleen and abdomen will be on Monday, at this point the doctor said that sometimes nothing is required for the spleen, but to follow-up with the oncologist just to be sure.
I will be having a heart test ASAP to look at the cause of the new heart murmur. Guess what? Chemo may be the culprit. Surprised? I am not!
I am resting in God’s promises today and not stressing about this medical excitement. I am ready to have some answers, waiting is the worst.
Thanks for the update. Keep memorizing Scripture and keep the person and promises of God in focus (read Rom. 15:4 and remember that God had Ps. 91:2 be written for our instruction and encouragement for our hope!)
