Cecilia

When you go to the doctor, I think most of us are hoping everything is good. No sickness. No problems. I cannot remember the last time I went to the doctor and they told me, "All's good." Secondly, I cannot stand when you tell your doctor was you think is wrong, and yet, they dismiss it. Seriously, I know my body.

This latest trip was just fun. I have develop another friend on my ovary, whom Jeff and I have named Cecilia. She is the size of a golf ball and causing pain on my left side. Not as large as Cid, who I will comment on another time, I have to wait and see what happens. I have to laugh at these things because if I did not, I would be crying. If only cysts were children, I would be running out of rooms to put them in!

Each time we have a setback, I wonder why. Why us? Maybe our vocation in life is to help the children of others, i.e. why we were called to counseling. Or maybe this is another part of God's plan. For Jeff and myself we struggle to pray and mediate on it and find peace with it. We will continue to work on the medical end, as well as the spiritual. I think about the quote that I loved in high school from the bible, Mark 10:27, "Looking at them, Jesus said, "With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God." God will continue to be part of our journey, where we find laughter and hope through all the trials. We will continue to pray that this is all part of God's plan and it to will pass. That our friends and family will find support and hope through Christ and his messages. I will let all of you know about Cecilia and her future living arrangements in my belly. I sent an eviction notice and hopefully law enforcement will not have to be called in. Until next time... Love, Katie
