Give thanks to the LORD for He is good!

"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me". (Psalm 23:4)

When we trust in God with all our heart we believe what His word says. Romans 8:38 says that all things work for good to those who are called according to His purpose. It says ALL things, doesn't say a few things, only some things, it states that ALL things work for good. How hard is to believe it when we are in storms that look so big, how hard it's to believe it when we pray for something and got what we didn't want to, but how wonderful is our LORD to draw us closer to Him when we can't even feel Him, or see the good of one of our bad days.

My husband and I are going through one of those hard moments in life; we just got married on March and we are being SO blessed even thought I just got diagnosed with thyroid cancer. When we heard I needed to get another ultrasound because the one they did didn't look good I was SO scared. They wanted me to get an ultrasound guided FNA so they could look if the nodule they found was benign or not. Oh it sounded bad to me right there...what exactly are they looking for? Cancer? WHAT? it's not right, no one in my family ever have any type of cancer, it can't be, but it was and it is.
Cancer equals to death, suffering, pain, sorrow, it's just one of those things no one wants EVER! But I have it on my thyroid, and the only reason for which is not as bad as I thought, it is because God is in control, He knew I had it and that was why things happened the way they did. I cried, prayed and wonder, and finally thank God; but I was never alone; my husband cried with me, people who love me prayed with me, and the LORD gave me strength, hope and comfort. It looked as bad as you can't imagine, but the LORD turned into something better.
Just last Wednesday, we went to see my primary doctor and I thought she won't say anything good or new, but I was wrong. She told me I was lucky and as her mom said "things happen for a reason"; she explained that the type of cancer I have is called "Papillary thyroid cancer", the most common cancer and that it was good to find out now. That was the best news I could get, I smiled and looked at her and said: Yes, I am SO blessed!!!
I am still praying for a miracle, maybe it will go away, maybe I will need to get a surgery, but the truth is that rather that telling God how big our problems are, we need to tell our problems how great and awesome our God is!!!

My husband always told me I'll be fine, the LORD let me feel Him with me and the great lesson both my husband and I have learned so far is one of the precious one we can get from God.
Thanks to all of you who are praying, thanks for remaining me about your love and how much you care for me. May the LORD bless you all!

"Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever". (Psalm 106:1)
