Good News

Well, the brain tumor is still there but it hasn't grown any at all. So that is good news. Both the neurologist and neurosurgeon feel that we have nothing to worry about at this time. They both were very impressed with the improvement of my speech, blood pressure and the fact that I am having less attacks from migraines. :D They said that they will repeat the MRI in one year. If that shows the tumor has not grown any at that time, then they will repeat the MRI five years after that. They said that this thing may just sit there for the rest of my life and never grow. I just smiled and said "That's alright with me, Praise God."

So God didn't remove the brain tumor. That's OK, He did staunch it's growth! Isn't our God an AWESOME GOD?

When I went to Ladies Convention I was having problems with my blood pressure being to high. I was also having migraines almost on a daily basis. On the last day of Ladies Convention I was praying at the altar and I felt the Lord come down and touch me in a mighty way. I felt a sister come up from behind me and lay her hand on the back of my neck and when she did I felt warmth run up and down my spine and into my skull. I did not have a migraine from that day forward until the week of Youth Convention. So that was about 3 weeks with no migraines. Hey, for me that was fantastic. On the Friday before Youth Convention was to begin it felt as though someone walked up behind me and slammed a baseball bat into the back of my head and I suffered with a migraine for 9 days straight. It was almost unbearable. I knew it was nothing but a trick of the devil doing his best to try and keep me from attending the services at Youth Convention just like he did when he attacked me with sickness during the time of Ladies Convention. But I purposed in my heart that I was going to attend every service come hell or high waters in spite of those migraines and I did. It was worth it too. What wonderful messages I heard!

You know, I have made up my mind that regardless of what comes my way, I will serve the Lord. He has been so good to me. Migraines or no migraines, brain tumor or no brain tumor, I will serve the Lord. God has everything under control in my life and I have nothing to worry about. I just need to "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding." (Proverbs 3:5) He will see me through any situation that comes my way and I will never walk alone, for He holds my hand.
