The girls have been doing well. They enjoyed camp and made some new friends. They seem to be more interested in their Bibles and follow along during church. Rebekah keeps talking about her upcoming birthday and everything she wants. It should be fun.
We had a pretty big trial this past week, but God's grace was smothering it. I had been having some issues since Russia and after ruling out other things, I went in for a colonoscopy last Friday. Well, it turns out I have colon cancer. They did a biopsy and it was cancer. I had some other lab work done and a ct scan and found out yesterday that the ct scan did not even see the tumor. And my CEA was 0.8 (normal is 0-2.5, above that indicates a tumor). So I will have surgery on Thursday and no radiation or chem0, unless they find something else during the surgery.
God has given me such a peace about this. Even before yesterday, I just knew it would be fine and whatever happened was good because it was God's plan and His way is always the right way. I cannot even describe the peace.
The timing was incredible. I would not have a colonoscopy normally until 40, being that I am 38, I was not even due yet. I needed symptoms to know there was a need. If God would have allowed symptoms last year, my girls may still be stuck in Russia. Instead, right after we finalized and I was in Russia, I started having symptoms. It was like God was saying, "Ok, your girls are safe, now I have something you need to know!"
I pray for God to be able to get glory through this and that through my testimony, someone might be saved (physically, spiritually, or both!)
