More Tests!

This week I feel like am going to be a human lab rat! haha. As stated in earlier posts, my breathing problems are still trying to be figured out. We have already ruled out the blood clot in the lung so that is definately a blessing. Today I am going for a echocardiogram to check for blood vessel inflammation between the lungs and heart then I am seeing a lung doctor. On Thursday, I go for a lymph node biopsy under my arms. On the CT scan they found the enlarged nodes and just want to make sure nothing is going on there. I am confident that my team of doctors will figure this mess out. I am so blessed to have friends and family who support me through my deal. I appreciate each of you reading my blog because it makes me feel like someone out there cares plus it allows me to vent my frustrations.

These situations remind me of one of my favorite bible verses, Phillipians 4:8. "8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."
My brother Adam gave me this verse during a really difficult time in my life a few years back and it has stuck to my memory during rough times. Basically, the verse says through all your trials, focus on things that are good in your life, and I have much to be thankful for. Even though I have many struggles with my health, my life is very very good. I am blessed with a wonderful family, excellent job, amazing girlfriend and most of all, a gracious and loving God. God has never let me down, even in my darkest of situations and I have to daily focus my mind on trusting him. Sometimes its not easy but he has never let me down.
I would encourage you to think about Phillipians 4:8 if you are going through some struggles in your life and focus on the good things as opposed to the bad. Know that no matter what, God will never leave you. This rings especially true in my life.
Until next time
