The Best Words

One of my favorite people in the Bible is David and how his story came to be...here is a verse I heard recently in a sermon that I felt concluded my week,

"David said to Philistine, "You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied." This day the Lord will hand you over to me, and I'll strike you down and cut off your head." 1 Samuel Vs. 45-46.

I found out this week from a scan that was taken of my neck and other areas of my body that the Lord has answered my prayers and the prayers of others. The radiologist wrote down on his report that the cancer that was noted just two months ago on a scan in November is no longer visible. Of course, this could mean it is now microscopic and I need to move forward with my treatments to annihilate any of the cells remaining; however, this wonderful report given just proves what the power of prayer and faith can do for someone who believes. I will be seeing my doctor tomorrow to confirm the report and of course I am nervous that perhaps a mistake was made or maybe the report was read wrong, but deep inside I know the doctor is going to greet me with positive words.

I would like to share the best statements told to me in my life:

I love you. (Cj when we were first dating)
Will You Marry Me? (My birthday when Cj proposed to me)
This is my wife Dana (Being introduced as my husband's wife)
Here is your son, congratulations mama! (From the nurse just moments after my son was born)
Mama!!! (My son screaming for me from the other room)

And finally this past weekend the best thing I heard went like this...

My husband just got home from work and was sitting on our bed reading an article on his computer. I was frustrated because our son was not napping. I was also tired from the morning, I just had the scan and knew I was in for a long weekend of wondering and waiting. I said hello to my husband and complained about the napping situation. My husband listened and then said with a strange smile, "Your scan is good."
I was caught off guard, "Huh?" I said to him.
"Your report came back early and your scan is good." He said slowly with a smile.
I was confused, the scan reports take a few days how could it be back, "You are kidding around right? I asked, "You just want to have a nice weekend right?" I said smiling.
"No, since you were the first patient they were able to process it early." He said.
I was stumped. It was good?
"How good?" I asked skeptical, unfortunately when dealing with cancer you have to be cautious of all news.
"The cancer in your neck is gone."
I was frozen with shock. Gone. It had only been two months. Gone.
The best words I have heard in a long time, the cancer is gone.
Of course my husband warned me, "We need this to be confirmed by your doctors before we celebrate too much but it is going to be OK."
We hugged and cried and I was just shocked. The Lord had led me toward this goal. I was told by other doctors to not go into treatment and to forget about it. I listened to God and he led me toward this goal. If you read my previous blogs you will see the connection and how a miracle has occurred.
So tomorrow I will be visiting with my doctor. We will wait to see what his response is and then it is time to move forward.
The best thing was said to me after such a fight from both me and my family, a fight led by God just as God led David to fight a monster of a soldier, the cancer is gone. Amen.
