SCANNED
Had my CT Scan today...
It was an amazing feeling, walking up to City of Hope today- because I no longer felt like a patient. I felt like someone who had already been walked through (Psalm 23) their sickness and that this was just a formality. It was really hot and muggy and there was also this sense of thankfulness for the way God had moved us out of (living in)that area and closer to the beach where the air is always clean and moving. It's all kind of hard to explain, but it was just one of those times where all of the trials of the past 3-4 years come together and you can see and feel where God has brought you. Overwhelming thankfulness wells up inside you and you can't help but just smile and drink in the moment. Jen and I kind of ate the day up! Oh, and I got a chance to tell the lab technician about God!:) Wow, I am so thankful that I have a Pastor who has taught me how to act like a man and plow my way through these things, knowing that God is truly going to be there for me. I would be nowhere without this Man of God!
Also- I had my first CT Scan 2 years ago and it was HORRIBLE... I was so clausterphobic that they had to put a washcloth over my face when I slid through the machine (so I couldn't see). God has grown me so much in 2 years (under the leadership of my Pastor) that today when I came out of the machine, the nurse thanked me for being such a good patient and told me that I was a breath of fresh air! She said that most patients fight the entire process. When we learn that our lives are truly NOT our own and that Jesus bought us with a price, many things that seemed so very difficult before, melt away.
Just think... the results of the miracle are already sitting in some computer:)
