Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow

I was out and about when my phone rang. It was the Endoscopy clinic calling.

"Fantastic, here are the results!"

"We need to arrange a telephone appointment for the Doctor to speak with you."

"I just want the results."

"The doctor will provide the test results and discuss the findings with you."

I went out to my car to think about it. 

• If the symptoms were serious, the healthcare providers would inform me. 
• It could be gastritis or another similar inflammation, and they plan to discuss the details and implications with me.

I found it strange that initially, my mind briefly entertained the negative committee of pessimistic voices in my head...that I have kept at bay for many years - thanks to Al-Anon. 

"You've got cancer and it's fatal"

"You're going to die."

Nope. I didn't waste my beautiful day fretting and worrying over something 100% out of my control. I immediately felt better!  That's what I used to do years ago. I'd have myself in quite the tizzy. I've been there and done that, and I'm not going down that road again!

So tomorrow, we have a phone appointment at 11:15 a.m. 

I always had a feeling that this situation would arise at some point. It all began after my gallbladder ruptured, and I had to undergo emergency surgery. (15 years ago) That's when I started experiencing challenges with eating. Subsequently, I received the diagnosis of diverticulitis and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), which further complicated my gut health. I pretty much have given up on the foods that bother me. I don't know what else I can do. 

So that's the story - Tomorrow at 11:15 am. 

Proverbs 3:5-6: Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
