But Here I Stand With a Plan

Today I met with the surgeon. She is wonderful. It’s good to talk to someone about a plan. I will have a lumpectomy and then radiation.
The date should be November 5 but could be changed. I would appreciate prayer.
I wrote this poem before I knew exactly what will happen. But I still stand firm on God’s Word. I now know the next step and there is a plan. I am praising God the cancer was caught early. It’s Stage 1.
Psalm 26:12
“My feet stand on level ground;
In the great assembly I will praise the LORD.” (NIV)
As I stand firm
In God’s truth
The world may sway
But here I stand
I wait
For my next step
The goal He set before me
Is to excite others
To read His Word
Nothing can knock me over
Not even a cancer diagnosis
Because I have Jesus
Surrounding me.

Following your journey with great interest. Thanks so much for your transparency.
Thanks Michelle, I think this is something we cannot hide under a bushel. Light has to be shone. And our faith has to shine too. Thanks for dropping by. I am so glad to reconnect.
Blessings
