I've been avoiding my "final" surveillance oncology appointment.

Why was I avoiding it?

I wish I had a good answer for you.

I was a little scared; I'd felt a weird lump in one of my breasts and experienced some pain in the other breast.

As I drove to my appointment with my husband, a Bible verse from James came to mind. Count it ALL joy when facing various trials.

Really? Would I have JOY while sitting in my oncologist's office?

I don't think so.

How do we "count it all joy" when we don't know what the outcome will be?

I guess that's the point. Growing in our faith and persevering, even when we don't know the outcome, is how we grow in character.

Do you ever feel like you have enough character, haha! Can I take a character break for a few months?

After what seemed to be the longest oncology appointment of my life, after the exam, my doctor got a big smile on her face and said, You Are Good. Followed by, "if you want to check in with me again, you can, or we never have to see each other again".

As much as I like you, I'm choosing not to see you again!

Here are my four key takeaways on finding joy in the face of challenges.

  1. It's about choosing an attitude of faith rather than suppressing sorrow.

  2. God uses trials to strengthen and test our faith.

  3. Enduring trials build patience and lead to a more complete faith.

  4. True joy comes from trusting in God's sovereignty and knowing He is working for our spiritual growth.

Trust me, I'm still a work in progress. ______
