Prayer Request

This is not well known (outside of church) but my wife has a growth (non-cancerous) on one side of her thyroid. It is inhibiting the thyroid enough that she has to take meds to keep things in check. She went back for a follow-up a few days ago and the doctors have discovered that the lump is growing and now there is another growth on the other side of her thyroid (if you have never seen what the thyroid looks like, click here). She is scheduled to go back and have the newest growth tested and hopefully it will be benign. Her mother died of cancer (cervical/uterine) so my wife is pretty nervous, although she will not admit it.

Nonetheless she will most likely need surgery (but that is a given yet...we will know in a few weeks). While this is not an overly dangerous procedure, it is still surgery. Please be in prayer for the peace that only Jesus Christ can provide for both of us.

God is the ultimate healer. His love is perfect. I take solace in the fact our souls are safe with him, no mater what this world throws at us.
