So....I just got the call!
The one I've been waiting 2 weeks for!
Blood test results are back! Hallelujah! Let's get things
rolling! I'm ready. Free at last, free at last!
And then the words I never expected to
hear....."Everything looks fine......"
Excuse me, what!? Everything is not fine! I am CLEARLY not
fine!
I never thought I would be upset at great test results, but
here I am, in tears, wishing the diagnosis had been different. What is wrong
with me?
Why couldn't there just be an easy answer? Why can't I just
be done with this? I am so over it. As I
sit here and cry, in the corner of my living room, I am reminded of these words
by one of my favorite men ever, "It is your REACTION to the ADVERSITY, not
the adversity itself, that DETERMINES how your LIFE'S STORY will develop."
-Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Oh man! And once again, I am humbled by a loving Heavenly
Father whose trying to teach me that I'm not going through this for an easy way
out. That my life's story is still being written. And I get to choose what my
reaction will be.
So, even though it's hard, I will gather myself together,
take two steps back, and then start again. At square one. Because there has to
be an answer. And I'm not done putting in the effort to figure it out.
Tomorrow is a new day....and I will greet it like I have all
the others. One Day At A Time!
