Lesson in POWERLESSNESS

You know my Higher Power must have a great sense of humor. I say that with all sincerity. I was supposed to go to the doctor with my sister today and see what they said about a softball sized lump in her breast. Well, to sum it up, the first appointment for the sonogram of it was not able to be kept and they had to just keep the actual mammogram.

Now just as I was driving to the appointment I call her to tell her I'm running late, she tells me this. I'm the QUEEN of Control Freaks! So I ask her if she is okay with Lance going with or if she wants me there. She tells me that she wants to call me and tell me what they say. I have to accept what she said. Now I was not sure that she was being honest or not, but I had to accept it it. I cried.

I got out of my car in front of my house and went in to wait and find out the results of the mammogram later. I am sitting there and the phone rings and my sister tells me that the systems are down and they can't run the tests until the 28th! How absolutely annoying!!!!!

I sat there a moment and then asked the most stupid question, Are you okay with that? She says to me in her 24 yr old infinite wisdom I kind of have to be don't I? I sat there stunned and a little speechless for a moment. I agreed then let her know that I would be here for her if she needed me.

Like I said, My Heavenly Father has a great sense of humor. I get little lessons in life when I need them. I am okay with it and will put this in my God box.

Thanks for listening!

  1. Sometimes things work out in God's time and not ours. I hope that all will go well for her. Hang in there.

  2. She is going through a lot of emotions right now so it is not about you, if you need to go through some emotions call me or Barb, don't give them to her. You did good not to take it on.
