"So much work to do. So many more lives to touch. Onward and upward. Continue to look up - no limits."
I received this encouragement this morning as result of fears being dissolved with the shocking revelation: I am very healthy. Prepped for biopsy and no need for one. Tests were good. Great. No cancer. No anything. What caused doc such immediate concern tested "normal" when testings were done.
How is it possible to have mixed feelings about such amazingly, wonderful news?
But mixed feelings I do have.
I am supremely grateful that I am healthy.
And I am incredibly sad that others, more trusting, more faithful and no less "deserving" of "good news", however ... yesterday others DID receive BAD news... and I am grieved that some, yesterday DID lose their own battle with a diseased body.
For that my heart - though rejoicing - also grieves...
And yet - I am shocked - amazed at such goodness that my life has been surrounded by. Normally one to bear down, stay well-hidden in the process of quietly overcoming such personal issues , this time, by opening up, I found an abundance of hope and faith and support that I truly was blown away by. So grateful for such love. So amazed by such outpouring of humanity, each one representative of their own "lives' issues" and yet each one so supportive. Wow.
So, now with issues explained and the subsequent clearing out of doubts and fears - my mind moves forward and outward...
There are so many people to support, to encourage, and to salt lotsa love into...
And so, as my dear friend encouraged me :
"So much work to do. So many more lives to touch. Onward and upward.
Continue to look up - no limits."
I take this challenge, seeking God's leading as we g0, head on out... and walk on!
