just what i needed

Uncomfortably shifting in my seat, in more than a bit of pain... I decided to take a quick check on my e-mail. And there was a note from beautiful Kat. Telling me to go and check out (in)courage... because I had won their t-shirt. And the tears came... in sobs. Because He knows. He knows just what we need. What I need. And tonight... I need some courage. Tomorrow I am going for an exploratory procedure on my bladder. Yeah. It isn't really what I had planned for my day off. But I am going... and I am scared. There is something wrong, I know. And I want to know what the next step is... but gosh... I am scared. Of the pain. Of the problem. Just scared. I keep calling His name... and I know He is here... just waiting for me to set my fear in His mighty hands. So here I go... setting it down. With courage. And a good bit of denial. But I know... tomorrow when my husband kisses me as I am sent on my way... that God will travel the rest of the way with me. And He will hold me... and my fear... and wipe my tears away.

Hi Dawn, I will lift you up in prayer as you go through this procedure. I pray that you will feel His presence and that the Dr.'s/technicians will make careful and wise decisions in their treatment/diagnosis. Please keep us updated as you are able. I pray that you can rest tonight and have peace.

Oh Dawn. I want to give you these great, profound words of encouragement and wisdom....but I think I'll just say...I'm praying for you. I'm praying for you, my friend. And I love you. We've never met, and I love you as a dear, dear friend.

Praying...
Kat

Oh goodness!
I am glad you were encouraged today-
I will be praying for you tomorrow-for peace, for wisdom for the doctors, and that God will just with you, so you know that you KNOW you are not alone-no matter the outcome.
God bless-and update me, if you choose to-

I will be praying for you, Dawn! I am going to the doctor tomorrow, too, because I just don't feel well. I have been putting this of for a long time now, and I finally set aside my fear of the unknown to get checked out. I will be praying for you as I sit in the waiting room!

I known I'm a bit late to comment, but I really hope the procedure went well.
