Waiting

Today Allison had an ultrasound, yet another test to make sure nothing is being missed. Allison said she kept looking at the ultrasound screen trying to see a baby! LOL... Praise the Lord that nothing else was found (including a baby!), so we're still just dealing with the one lump, 1.5cm in size. How could something that small stir up so much emotion? Pain. Sorrow. Fear. Hatred. I hate this little lump with all the hatred a person can have.

But then I think about a time to come...a time when we will look back on this dreadful experience and be able to see how our faith has grown, how our love for life and for each other has increased and hopefully be able to be a testimony and an encouragement to others. We've been flooded with prayers, cards, hugs and tears. I want to be THAT kind of person to someone else, but for now I need to be that for Allison. I'm supposed to be the rock, right now I don't feel very rock-like.

So now we wait... until Monday when we meet the surgeon and oncologists. We don't know the next step but I'm pretty sure on Monday we'll find out. I had no less than 10 people email me, call me and hug me today. Several asked if they could put us on their church's prayer list. Are you kidding? Absolutely and thank you from the bottom of my heart. God is most certainly being inundated with prayers about a little brunette from Lyman, SC tonight. But you know what? He loves it, He can handle the abundance of requests and He WILL be glorified!
