Prayer, Peace, Progress

Today has been very long. I went to my orthopedic appointment with mixed emotions. I was very prayerful every step of the way. I prepared myself to communicate things clearly as possible. I knew my doctor’s assistant would truly care and give me the best guidance as possible. 

I started out trying to explain how unpredictable my hand breakouts have been. Suddenly, both of my hands did the talking. Within seconds my hands went from looking perfectly normal to red hot. I could see the shock and concern on her face. She was like “you weren’t joking about them looking and feeling on fire.” 

We processed what might have escalated this condition. Finally, she said “I really feel we’ve got to get you tested by a neurologist.”She spouted out several things this could possibly be. I really wasn’t wanting to hear any of those speculations. In fact, I knew it was best that I just swallow this one faith step at a time. 

Less than one hour after my doctor’s visit my hands looked and felt perfectly normal. Fortunately, they were able to see this stuff is not just in my head. So, I will await a call from the neurologist’s office. I feel in my heart that it’s critical that I rule out anything major. And, God could clear this up totally anytime he decides. 

Moving forward, I will refrain from writing anymore about this matter unless I feel led. I don’t want to feed anything negative into my own mind. I’m certain God has a plan. I just don’t know exactly what that looks like right now. Praise God, I’m going to bed with a peace only God can give. I appreciate all of your prayers. Every prayer has definitely made a difference. I’ve had zero breakouts over the last 8 hours straight. 🙏 

“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 28:11)
