November 8, 2014 - Preparing for Battle

Today has been a wonderful day. I saw lots of friends, will be seeing more friends tonight, and I am getting a kitten!!  Very excited about that. :)

We have fun things planned between now and Wednesday when I have surgery. It's like I can plan until then - and we have no idea what life looks like on the other side of Wednesday. I know it will be different than what it is today - best case is that I am recovering from major surgery and on tamoxifen for several years. I don't know what other scenarios look like and I am doing my best not to speculate. 

The Bible has given us such comfort on this journey, and that's where we are looking for guidance and direction.  When I checked out the website for our plastic surgeon for the first time, he had Proverbs 3:5-6 on his page. That was a huge comfort and encouragement to me, and so many times in the past few weeks, our friends have shared the verses with us.  So even though I don't know what things look like past Wednesday, I wanted you to know our battle plan:

Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. (Proverbs 3:5-6 NLT)

Thank you for your prayers and posts and encouragement!  Mindy or Kelli or Tony will be updating while we are at the hospital.
