I went in to my hand specialist and a decision has been made, surgery is scheduled for April 5th. The history: in December I noticed a little bump on my right hand ring finger and it became almost useless immediately and stayed that way for over three weeks. The first time I went to the hand specialist she exploded my cyst and said that there was a 50/50 chance it would come back. The relief was great for the time but its back, for now (Praise the Lord) my hand is still usable, I simply have to do things in moderation. The hardest things to do include typing and writing which the Lord is very gracious in with me because that consists of most of my life as a college student who loves to journal about her quiet times!
My doctor is a little concerned about my hand, she thinks it may be more than a cyst. She thinks I may have trigger finger where my tendon bulges up and gets stuck which limits movement or the start of tendinitis. Hopefully it is simply a cyst but those are two things that she is concerned about that I am praying against. They will only know during surgery so I will keep you updated as I get them.
One of my friends regularly asks me 'Hows livin the lyme life?' and I have come to enjoy the question!
My lyme life is going well, although I made a mistake I will NEVER make again! I ran out of sleep medicine before I ordered more online, so the last few days I have been getting very little restless sleep but again the Lord is seeing me through everyday with just enough energy. However, I am very excited for that package to come in the mail!
Other than that I am doing well, not too many updates on that part of life but more BIG news! I got a new job! Its a part time nanny job for a family from North Ankeny, they have two little ones that I will be spending my tuesdays and wednesdays serving and loving on. One is 15 months and the other will be 4 weeks old. I start this wednesday and am so excited for the next step of life the Lord is leading me through!
"But seek first His kingdom and all these things will be added to you." ~Luke 12:31
"For where you treasure is, there your heart will be also." ~Luke 12:34
These verses remind us that this world is temporary, and I do not want to pour my life into something that will fade. The Lord promises us Heaven and with that He gives us the option to live for Heaven while on earth. Where is your heart at? Is it with the Lord, is He your treasure? One thing I am praying for this year is that my heart would be fully surrendered to the Lord and my will fully submitted to God alone. That I may life for His good and His glory and not my own worldly gain. What a blessing we have to be apart of something so much bigger than ourselves! May I be reminded of that everyday.
*Peace for hand surgery (I'm a little nervous and its a month away)
*That my sleep medicine would get here soon!
*That my heart will be fully surrendered and my will fully submitted to God
*That I will live for the things that will last and not worldly gain
