After a bunch (A BIG BUNCH) of tests, the results were in....Gall stones, many of them-though the gall bladder itself seems ok for now; a large lesion and large cyst on my kidney (maybe from the infection that sent me to the hospital in the first place) that might just go away; and a growth on my uterus, which may or may not be cancer. Hearing the word cancer, immediately brought a tremor to my soul, how would I tell my mom. Then some comforting words, even if it is cancer it seems self contained and they'd just take the uterus out! Hey take it, I've never used it anyway. If it is cancer they will again check the kidney (more tests ugh, but hey I have two kidneys!!! :-))))....
Brother S and Brother J gave me another blessing. I was not in a panic in the first place BUT it's always good to hear what the Lord has to say. It's interesting, I remember once when I was young asking for a blessing, my Dad basically said you only need a blessing if you are weak....well I now know that information is misleading. It is the Lord's pleasure for you to have a blessing; it is a worthy Priesthood holder's pleasure to give you a blessing AND it is certainly your pleasure to have a blessing. Bro S said we should ask for a blessing WHENEVER we feel we need one. He also said to "please allow him to magnify his Priesthood" to bring the peace to someone that a blessing can give. What a wonderful thing... Bro J said yes we are weak, THAT IS WHY we MUST call on Heavenly Father for strength, especially in a blessing. If I were to say that the blessing was awesome that would be an understatement. I know that worthy Priesthood holders would never say something that was not directed to them....Bro S said that this would be taken care and over soon. That it would not impair me because Heavenly Father had work for me to do both in the ward and the stake AND He loved me (reiterated several times during the blessing) AND how pleased He is with me and with the temple work I do and that He did not want that interrupted! WOW told you it was more than awesome! Again I'm so thankful for worthy Priesthood holders and the power that God has given them!!!
