Little Blue Elephants

The end of week one of : Life with the Little Blue Elephant

I realized the other day that God wasn't getting my full attention and that He wanted it.. so, what happened... He allowed me to be flattened and not just slowed down but STOPPED!!! By what, you ask... Melanoma... a malignant melanoma! Yikes!!! Just typing to words makes me catch myself... That is something that happens to someone else- not me!! I'm too busy, too young... basically, just don't have time to deal with that...HAHAHA Yes, I do have the time and, YES, I am dealing with it...

Two days ago my fantastic surgeon did what he called a wide excision on the site.. something about "clear margins" ... I call it " the day he introduced me to my "little blue elephant." Either way, GOD is really the one that is working on me and teaching me some very big lessons... I want to tell you about my blue friend... The surgeon told my husband that it might feel like there was an elephant on my chest as I healed and when they did the biopsy they used blue dye... Hence, little blue elephant.. He really isn't so bad- actually, he keeps me company in the middle of the night... And, today, he is definitely smaller than yesterday.

Another thing that I realized is that GOD wants me to share this story with whomever will listen... He has something so big in store for this... I just feel it. Too many prayers have been answered- actually miracles have been performed. GOD is bigger than any of my problems and bigger than the solutions too. If you are out there and don't know HIM... let me tell you that GOD healed me... The prognosis last week was BAD but GOD IS GOOD and I am okay. The mole that was removed was so bad that the doctors just knew that there was cancer somewhere else.. Guess what?? NO WHERE ELSE!!! GOD answers prayers... I do have to do treatment for a while... OKAY!!! Now, I cannot wait to see what GOD is going to do with all of that... How about you?

Stay tuned for more with the little blue elephant...
