staying positive

Last Thursday, the doctor's last words as we exited the room,
we will never soon forget ... "Stay positive”

Though, honestly, a part of me wanted to turn around and shout through my tears, "Stay positive?? How??? You just crushed my hopes." Yet, another part of me knows that I must try to stay positive, be hopeful, and have faith.

Currently, at this point -
We have resolved to continue the medical testing
(possibly 2 more tests)
until we get the doctor's final answer.
(though we know Who has the Final answer)
Then we will decide our next step.
Until then we will have hope (and stay positive).
Our hopes are dwindling, medically-speaking,
but, there is still a speck of hope there,
possibly a problem could be detected in these 2 tests
which would be treatable by medicine or surgery.
Please pray that God will divinely direct our steps.
We want to make the Right decision.
Without wasting a lot of time, money, and emotions.
Ultimately, we want what He wants – not just what our hearts want.

So for now, we attempt to keep hope alive and remain positive.

And we believe with all the faith that we can muster ....
"My God is so big, so strong, and so mighty,
there's NOTHING my God cannot do."
