Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him.Romans 12:1

Update...

My doctor wants to do a little more testing next week. When I got that call yesterday, I kinda broke down. I'm ready for someone to just say "You drink too much caffeine which caused this cyst so you need to limit your caffeine intake and always continue to do your self-breast exams." When they say this I am going to say "Already DONE. YAY! Thank you!" Yes, as of the day after all this came about I completely QUIT caffeine, had a terrible headache for 3 days but have stuck to it! Any of you who know me know that I LOVE my coffee. I am still drinking more than one cup of DE-CAF everyday. I kinda feel like I am 13 at the beach again ordering a virgin daiquiri when I order de-caf coffee. It kinda takes the fun out of it and I don't feel like such a "big girl". LOL  

This verse was shared with me yesterday
"Do not be afraid or discouraged...for the battle is not yours but God's....You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions, stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you." 2 Chronicles 20:15a, 17

This shall be the verse I cling to.....that truly any of us can cling to right now....
Whatever you are going through right now or even if this chapter in life is totally awesome.....
It's all GOD's. Everything is His anyway and He is in control. He is good and He is faithful.

My prayer is that I learn the lessons that He wants me to learn, that I become closer to Him, that He opens my heart and my eyes to His ways and that I may walk in them......

Continued testing will take place in Birmingham Thursday, June 20...just a few days shy of my 23rd Birthday on the 23rd of JUNE! 23 on the 23rd!!! WHEWWW!! 

I didn't know what to say when they asked if the surgeon they had scheduled me with was ok except "Yeah, I guess." I mean I don't know...... THEN, yesterday afternoon, 2 of my closest friends told me they know her personally and only had wonderful things to say about her!! God has a plan my friends!!  None of this is conincidence and I am faithfully awaiting what He has in store. 

This was my devotion this morning and another prayer for myself....that I will be JOYFUL and FULL of HIS SPIRIT! 
I can't THANK YOU enough for your calls, texts, messages, visits, pies (Aunt Cindy), offers to come/go with me and MORE.....
I am BEYOND BLESSED and I LOVE YOU ALL!!! I feel your prayers! 

I am creating something new in you: a bubbling spring of Joy that spills over into others’ lives. Do not mistake this Joy for your own or try to take credit for it in any way. Instead, watch in delight as My Spirit flows through you to bless others. Let yourself become a reservoir of the Spirit’s fruit.

Your part is to live close to Me, open to all that I am doing in you. Don’t try to control the streaming of My Spirit through you. Just keep focusing on Me as we walk through this day together. Enjoy My Presence, which permeates you with Love, Joy, and Peace.

“The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”
—John 3:8

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness.
—Galatians 5:22
