God is in Control!

This past Thursday morning, after a cruddy night's sleep, I woke up in a frustrated mood. Although we had received some hope the night before, I couldn't help but think....."Wow...if this IS IBC, we are wasting precious time!" Everything I had read and heard said time is of the essence with treating this type. The Dr. reassured me it's more important to know what kind we are treating and another week won't make a difference. However, the "Control Freak" in me just wants to get started!!

As I went to get breakfast, I saw a book I had received the day before from a friend entitled "Grace for the Moment" by Max Lucado. I opened it up and on the first page I read this...

"He [God] stands between us and our need, waiting to help us. For that reason, the Bible says "Let us boldly approach the throne of our gracious God, where we may receive mercy and his grace to find timely help." (Hebrews 4:16 NEB). Did you note those two last words? "Timely help." Not too soon, not too late,. Just on time."

WOW!! Talk about your "burning bush" moment!! Again, I just turned this whole thing over to God (it's going to be an on-going process!) and felt such peace!! His timing is perfect....who am I to question that?

On the medical front, the skin biopsy is scheduled for Monday morning. I'm told results won't be back until Wednesday or Thursday, so I'm thinking Friday. :-) Until then, we have a lot of things to keep us busy and will live in the moment, knowing God is in control! Keep praying!!


In His Strength,


Cindy and the VK's

P.S. Speaking of hope, (and on a MUCH different level) GO BEARS!!!
