It’s been a day of ups and down today. I’m not sure whether to celebrate or cry.

One of my medical tests finally came back with something. I’ve had some serious health issues on and off for the last 6 years, and just about every test comes back clean, so it’s been frustrating. They found fibroids, which are a type of tumor. I see the doctor Moday to figure out what to do about it.

5 minutes later I got an email with a very nice job offer, I start Monday. This is after being unemployed for a little over a year.

Monday is going to be a busy day. I’m just a little freaked out.

Congrats on the job. Now, sit down with some calming teas. In between each soothing sip, close your eyes, breathe in through your nose and exhale slowly.

Concentrate soley on your breathing or imagine a very soothing scene and see your self as very calm and relaxed. I have practiced this breathing technique, and can bring my pulse rate down by about 10 points in 3 breaths.

With respect to fibroids. Been there and done that. If you have not had a D & C, then that is probably the next step. This will also provide a tissue sample to test for malignancy. Most fibroids are not malignant.

What great news about the job!

So I vote we CELEBRATE!

Seconding greeneye’s motion to sip those calming teas and BREATHE!

Hard to remember sometimes, I know, but we truly are in the Hands of Someone who helps us every step of the way if we let Him! He as arranged all of this for a particular reason, we just don’t know what it is!

Since we are on a gardening thread a gardening analogy might not be amiss. We are the seedlings in the Lord’s Garden. Just think how much care you give seedlings that are having a bit of difficulty. Now think how much care the Lord is giving YOU!
