Facing the Unknown

Before I can sort through my  many emotions, I receive a call from my surgeon and learn I’m scheduled for a mastectomy on Tuesday, November 18, 2014.  Our very dear friend, Steve accompanies Richard and me to the Phoenix Baptist Hospital.  I’m whisked away to be checked in and poked and prodded some more.  Finally I’m wheeled downstairs and and my husband meets me at the elevators. “There’s someone special here to see you.” “Who would be here to visit me?” Richard stepped aside and Pastor Brad from Calvary Chapel Surprise was here to see me before my surgery and pray for us.  With tears streaming down my face, I know God is keeping us safe in the palm of His hand. Pastor Brad prays over Richard and me.  As the 23rd Psalm tells us: “. . .I will fear no evil”.  “. . . My cup runs to overflowing. . .”  God whispers in my ear that everything will be all right.
