The wait is the worst. If you don't know, you can imagine. The mind starts to panic with the million "what ifs".
I have to wait for pathology reports. They can't come back any faster. So what do I do with the anxiety? I try and "offer it up". This means I offer these feelings and doubts to Jesus on the cross. I just give them to Him and ask Him to unite my little baby sufferings with His holy sufferings. And by doing this, there is purpose and meaning in my trials. I think if I am to progress any in my spiritual life, I must try and imitate Jesus in any way. I know He suffered and was greatly troubled in the garden. When I join my unnerving wait for test results to His Passion, my wait can become redemptive and useful and serve to draw me closer to Him. So I took all my emotional torment, cupped it in my hands, and gave it away.
Keeping you in my prayers.When I a going through tests I always feel the hand of God holding mine.I know he is there for you and holding your hand.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Anne
Praying for you! You certainly have the right attitude. Hope all goes well!
ReplyDeleteGod carried me through when I heard the word "cancer" - it blindsided me. But His presence and His peace came over me the moment I silently cried "help".
ReplyDeleteWe can do all things with His help.
Prayers.....
Praying and praying for you sister. I had no idea you were in need of prayer.
ReplyDeleteI will stand beside you in the wait and I will intercede for you. Trust in Him for He is always good.
<><
I am a cancer survivor, only by the grace of our almighty God. He carried me through the adversity. Such a wise thing to put all your faith in Him. I will pray for you my friend. Hugs, Kim
ReplyDeletePraying for you dear.
ReplyDeletePraying for you. I have waited and have blessed. Praying for your blessings.
ReplyDeleteI have prayed and will continue to keep you and your precious family in my prayers. The waiting is the hardest you are so wise to let Jesus handle it all...it is the only way. xxoo
ReplyDeleteSending prayers.
ReplyDeleteI just did this biopsy wait 4 months ago, and yes, it is one of the hardest parts. Mostly because one creates way worse scenarios in their head than what information actually ends up coming back. Turning it over to Jesus is really the only way - I will be praying for you!
ReplyDeleteYour in my prayers sweetie!
ReplyDeleteill keep you in my prayers. my hope are that everything comes out normal ;-)
ReplyDeleteAll will be well in the end, thinking of you!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your testimony. You are absolutely right that the only way to have peace in our trials is by turning it all over to Him and trusting completely in His plan for our lives. Prayers for you!
ReplyDeleteBe rest assured that God never changes He is still the same yesterday, today and forever. He still answers the prayers of those who trust in Him.He has heard our prayers.
ReplyDeletePrayers!
ReplyDeleteBest.

Peace of God be with you.

There's no coincidence in our studying purgatory this past week, and the purification of our souls that begins here. It's all because of God's great love for you and His mercy will see you through. Love and prayers all around you, Ann. xo
ReplyDeleteI hope the biopsy doesn't point to anything serious. Several months back Mrs. Chatterbox was diagnosed with possible cancer on one of her kidneys. The wait for the biopsy seemed an eternity, but when it came it turned out that the problem was merely a calcium deposit that has since disappeared. I pray that your situation is as easily resolved.
ReplyDeleteIn my prayers.

My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. The message in this post is so powerful. Take care and God Bless.
ReplyDeleteMay God brought with you! I wish you the best.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you are talking about! I had a breast scare and biopsy several years ago! I only told my Daughter and my Husband! I was scared, but also turned it over to the ONE in control:) Hugs and happy thoughts, prayers!
ReplyDeleteI went thru this when I was 26 and a single mother of two. Going thru this brought me closer to God. Which was a blessing in a time of trouble. I will be praying for you.
ReplyDeletePraying. The wait is the worst... I know; my two-year-old was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Wish it was easier to put it in God's hands.
DeleteTo think I was just blogging over at my place about the "little" big problems in life. Perhaps, I was sent here for some perspective! Many blessing to you and your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you...
ReplyDeletepraying for you.
ReplyDeleteI do understand what you are going thru. I'm glad you gave the fears to Jesus. I will say a prayer so let us know. sandie
ReplyDeleteI did not know you had a biopsy, yes the waiting is the hardest part. And now I suppose you will have to wait over the weekend...just imagine that Jesus knew he would be crucified all that time and had to wait for it, I can't imagine. I will pray for the results, please let us know the result.
ReplyDeleteIt can seem interminable to wait for test results and your attitude is wonderful inspirational and positive. I hope the results are okay and I'm thinking of you
ReplyDeleteYes, the waiting for the results has a tendency to exaggerate even the smallest of ailments. And NOT that yours is small but I know when I have to wait for even the results of a strep test for my son, it's anxiety driven and that isn't even that bad.
ReplyDeleteDeep breaths and know you have guidance along your journey...

DeleteWe too are waiting for biopsy results. Trying so hard to let the Lord hold the worry for me but He knows how hard that is for me.
ReplyDeleteThe waiting is hard...I am glad you know to take your anxiety to the Lord. Stay busy and think about happy things...I say a prayer for you.
ReplyDeleteEven Jesus asked for the bitter cup of horror to be taken away from Him, so I think God understands your anxiety and how hard it was for you to turn it over to Him. Best wishes. I'll be praying for you, too.
ReplyDeletekeeping you in my prayers. please keep us posted. big hugs. (:
ReplyDeleteYour anxiety is normal. While we strive to give it to God, and we do over and over, we are also human. I've been through this myself and waited through an extra pathology evaluation after the first two were ambiguous. Hang in there and try to stay busy. It helps some. I'll be praying for you.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully written.
ReplyDeleteI have gone through 6 breast biopsies, each one a little scarier than the last. While I was still in the fuzzy zone, the doctor came back with the results of the freeze sample, shaking his head and saying it is not good. That was not the last thing I needed to hear before the weekend, before the start of waiting for the final test results. I remember telling Jesus it was just a boob and telling Him that I would praise Him, no matter what. In no time, God's peace invaded my body.
I am praying for you.
I'm so sorry. I know how awful this wait can be. I'm praying for you too!
ReplyDeletePraying for you!
ReplyDeletePraying for you! You have such an amazing attitude, I hope others can learn from you! (Including myself!)
ReplyDeleteThat has to be hard. Praying for you.
ReplyDeletethoughts and my prayers are with you during this time of need. Looks like you got a whole lot more love in the blogging community.laura
ReplyDeleteI had a colonoscopy last week and a rather large polyp was removed. It was sent to the lab and the dr. said he would see me in three years. So I am hoping that it is ok. I know how you must be feeling, I've had to wait on results one other time. Wishing you the very best. xo
ReplyDeletePraying for you! Please keep us updated!
ReplyDeleteThis brought tears to my eyes. Truly our suffering is insignificant in comparison to Jesus' suffering for us. What a privilege we have to take every burden, anxiety and sorrow to the throne of grace each day. I will pray for a good result of the biopsy.
ReplyDeleteWill be praying for you. You put everythin in the best place possible!
ReplyDeleteI will keep you in my prayers, Ann Marie.
ReplyDeleteMay you feel the strength and embracing love
of Our Lord and Our Lady. How many blessings you
are bringing to others as you join your sufferings
to Christ's. Thank you for your wonderful example.
Praying for you Hon:)
ReplyDeleteAll the best. Love your attitude about all of this.
ReplyDeleteI am sooo sorry!! I know that feeling. Waiting (and trusting) is ALWAYS so hard and then in times like these time slows doooown a 100x over. Grr...praying for peace, for quick quick results and God's hand firmly evident in it all
ReplyDeleteI kind of know the feeling. Wishing good news to come your way.
ReplyDeleteI pray that all will be well, and you are wise to hand your worries over to Him. Take care.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you and your family as you wait. Stay strong in your faith!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Thanks for stopping by my blog and following. It means a lot.
I've been there and been there and will keep you in my prayers!
ReplyDeleteI will keep you in my prayers now and on divine mercy Sunday.
ReplyDeleteThinking about you. Sending positive thoughts.
