Celebration or thankfulness? Both!!!

I am finding myself in a place of numbness this week. For many, many reasons but I will save your eyes from such long torturous reading and share the number one reason I find myself thankful, speechless, and in awe at God's work.

We have been anxiously awaiting the results of my Grandmother's P.E.T scan for two weeks and there have been times that I really felt as though I would vomit, there have been times that I felt as though I was going to loose all control of my emotions, and there have been times when I just had that peace that you get and you wonder why you have it when the news could be devastating.

This Tuesday my Grandmother walked into her Dr.'s office with trust that no matter what came out of her Dr.'s mouth she new the Lord was in control. She sat patiently waiting to get in a room, then patiently waiting in the room for her Dr. When her Dr. walked in she was smiling and said, "Mrs. Brogdon, I really hope your ready to enjoy your summer. I can't seem to find anything on your P.E.T scan that indicates you have cancer." I'm sure you can figure out my Grandmother's reaction from that point. It didn't just shrink to smaller tumors, nodules, or even dots. Her chest is completely clear and there is no sign that it had spread from her colon to her lungs. As I type I still find myself with my mouth wide open.

We are thankful, we are humbled, and somehow we will Celebrate in this goodness.............it will probably be with my Grandmother's famous shrimp and crab leg boil. Nothing is greater than sitting around her dining room table celebrating her life. I'm sure we will try and talk her into letting us do all the cooking, but she will argue about how good she feels and how it won't be the same if she doesn't cook it herself. It's her joy.

Thank you to those who were my prayer warriors these last two weeks and understood all my reasons for my ups and downs. Thank you Jeff for helping me through all of my anxiety and fears.
