Waiting...

I am very impatient on some things and the worst is waiting on phone calls from my doctor's office for test results. For various reasons I have had a number of medical tests in the past couple of years and I really dislike the waiting part. I had three MRIs where the technicians told me that I would have the results in a day or two. In all of the cases it was over a week before I heard anything. Thankfully the news was always good but the waiting kills me.

Last week I had a different test and was told that I would hear something "in a week". I am hoping that it is really just a week and that I hear good news soon.

My favorite OT scripture is Isaiah 40:31:

"but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." (NIV)

I know that God is good and my hope is in him no matter how this test or any others come back.

Sept 12 Update:

I spoke with my doctor's office today and the news was good on my tests (biopsies of tissue taken from my esophagus during an upper endoscopy) from last week.

The testing is not done but at least the news has all been good up til now. Thank you God!
