Real life. Unexpected things. On Saturday night, I noticed a skin discoloration. I looked at it again and again, almost in disbelief. The color had darkened, the size had extended, and it was itchy. And my mind began to spin. The word cancer had entered my brain. I remember my hands thrusting to the sides of my head. Panic shook my head side to side. . . Now I look back to realize how quickly and unexpectedly the mind can be overtaken with fear. On Saturday, a first thought was to want to see a doctor immediately. But the Lord blessed me with presence of mind. More than a doctor, I needed the Lord. The Lord is our ultimate healer. He may choose to use a human doctor to bring about healing, but ultimately the Lord is in charge. . . I find peace now in knowing He was with me Saturday night. In my panic, He gently bent my knees to pray. And as I wait to see a doctor tomorrow, I want to rest in the Lord first.
