My Time Has Not Yet Come!!

It was Sunday about 2 as Pat and I were driving to Houston....and a calmness came over me that said...."It's going to be ok....IT'S.GOING.TO.BE.JUST.FINE.   I sat there a few minutes before I said Pat....(long pause) and he said" What honey" and I replied Everything's going to be ok.....he of course agreed and I said NO.... "EVERYTHING is going to be ok with my scans!!"  It took an even deeper calmness in my soul....Thank YOU, God!!
Monday comes.....I wait less then 5 minutes after blood work at 6:45 in the am, which is REALLY quick. The scan went fast and I thought....Hmmmm, they didn't find anything or they would have scanned longer (maybe...maybe not.....was it my imagination)?
Monday evening comes and we go to Holy Ghost Catholic Church to hear Father Byron Miller give a presentation/talk. Very good and so glad we went. Jesus said appr. 13 times in John's Gospel that "My Time has Not Yet Come"....and it resonated through my body as if God was saying that to me also.
Tuesday comes, THE DAY to get scan and blood results. I get all the temp, weight stuff out of the way and went right back to see the P.A. and then Dr. Javle. QUICKEST I have got back to the patient room....E.V.E.R.  God knows I am not patient even though I have learned over the last 3 years and 3 months...it's all on God's time...not Patty's "Hurry up and do it RIGHT NOW time!! :-)
The P.A. comes in and goes through every word of the report.....explains in deep detail what everything means and also compares it to the last scan I had. She said I am as stable as we can even think. The mass in the liver is stable....no lymph node involvement ANYWHERE except some inflamed due to my chronic sinusitis. EVERYTHING IN MY BODY WAS CALM............THANK YOU JESUS!! THANK YOU FATHER!!
Dr. Javle then came in to reiterate what the P.A. said, then said he was so happy with my progress....my stability....    He said Dr. Das, the radiation oncologist in Houston who mapped exactly where I was being radiated, was just talking to Dr. Javle about 2 patients with CC. One person who is not doing so well....and then....wellllllllllllll, there's ME.  Stable as any stable could be expected! I wanted to shout and cry at the same time with joy.
Pat and I headed to the movie cinema right after the visit to catch a movie. I saw God's Not Dead and Pat saw a comedy. Great super wonderful movie!! My movie of course got out first so I started walking outside in the crisp air to release some of the good energy that wanted me to just scream outloud that My God is So GREAT!!!!!....I wanted to jump up and down and shout THANK YOU GOD! and then what happens....ROAR by Katy Perry comes on. I am still walking, and I just smile. I felt like it was a God Wink and I so took it all in. I called my friend, Debbie Weiler so she could hear the song playing and revel in the moment with me.
I cannot explain the feeling I have inside of me.....Thanks to God, Thanks for leading me to Texas, Thanks for giving me more time on this earth, just Thank You Jesus......MY time has not yet come!!!
It is 4:41 am on Wednesday morning and we are headed on the road very soon with M. Burgener and will be home close after nightfall.
In the movie I saw,,,two men said several times "God is Good....ALL The Time. And the other man comes back and says "All the Time, God Is Good!!   How true....how so very true!


This is a short post but full of hope, praises to our God, and Thanks to our God for my life. L.I.F.E!  It doesn't any better than this girls life....right here and NOW!


I can't post this without thanking the two Bed & Breakfast Inn's we stay at while in Houston. Thank you to David and Roselyn and Bruce and Deb.......for good food, good conversation, and the good price that we paid for the room!!  ;-)  We love and appreciate you all!!


I will write a little longer after getting home as Pat is chomping at the bit to get started.  Thank you all for the continued prayers and I hope to see most of you at The Relay where I will tell my story.


Love and hugs,
Patty
