Day 39 - Tests

Well home from Vegas and to the doctor I went.  I had two tests today and I should have results in the next few days on one and in a week on the other.  It is crazy to have to undergo exams to try and find out what is bothering you.  I really am not fond of going to the doctor and even less when it comes to hospitals.  I guess I should be relieved that we have such modern and technology driven medical exploration.  I just hate to have anything wrong and am a big worry wart if there needs to be anything done.

That leads me to question, Why am I worrying before I even have the results?  I think it is because the unknown is a mystery and the mind likes to conjur up the worst case scenario.  For me it is ridding myself of the tendency to be a hypochondriac.  My mother is now and was all my life a master at this.  She fretted over everything and I saw many years ago the same thing happening to me.  I vowed to never be like her and especially in this debilitating condition.  But alas, I have become her in more ways that I want to admit.  But I am fighting this hysterical fretting when it comes to medical issues.

So even though I did not enjoy the two visits today, I am thankful that I have doctors to care for me.  I am trusting in God to be the overseer of my health and physician hands to assist if needed.

Lord it is amazing that we have modern medical technology and skilled physicians that can be your hands extended to heal.  Praise you that I have all I need in You.  Amen

So onward I go asking God to be the master of my life and my protector.  As He is healing areas of my life I am taking this opportunity to lean into Him to lift worry from me
